Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

The majority of robot vacuums and mops pair with an app that allows you to save maps of your house, set cleaning schedules and select mopping modes. Certain models with dual rotating pads can also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dispose of dirty water.

To avoid the accumulation of bacteria to prevent the build-up of bacteria, remove the pads and wash them (if it's safe) after each cleaning cycle. It is also recommended to clean the tray that they sit on between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot vacuums that mop mops utilize pads with a cleaner that pass over the floor to soften sticky spots and other marks using scrubbing motions or brushes. These pads need to be removed, washed (if they can be washed) and dried between uses to prevent bacteria buildup and keep them from smelling unpleasant. Some models also have brushes on the sides and bottom of the robot, that need to be washed, rinsed or replaced after every few cleaning cycles.

The most effective 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop combos are easy-to-use and come with features that decrease the amount of maintenance needed after cleaning. They include automatic emptying of the dustbin docks that self-clean and self-cleaning pads that ensure your robot is ready to mop immediately following a cleaning. If you want your robot to be capable of navigating and avoiding obstacles, you should wipe down its sensors using a soft towel or cloth every few cycles. This will get rid of dust that can interfere with sensors and cause errors.

If you have carpets, make certain to select a mop that is compatible with them. Robotic mops that are able to clean or vacuum floors need to be reprogrammed so they can avoid carpets. Certain robotic hoovers vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping functions. This allows you to see the areas that your robot has cleaned as well as the areas that it hasn't.

The majority of apps-connected robots mops use sensors to move through the home and avoid obstacles, but they can also get confused or lost. It is important to update the mopping app frequently with the latest software releases to ensure that your robot has the best robot cleaner navigation and obstacle-avoidance capabilities. We suggest testing a robot's performance at home by constructing an obstacle course to test its capabilities before buying it.

Most robot mops have two tanks. One for clean water and the other for dirty water. The tank for dirty water has to be emptied and filled regularly. The water tanks are easily removed from the base, making it easier to clean them and wash them with warm water and mild soap. Most models have drip tray which is placed under the water tank that has been contaminated to catch any spilled liquid. It is recommended that you empty your drip tray after every cleaning cycle to stop bacteria from developing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mop, vacuum combinations and robot vacuum with mop mops use a water reservoir for cleaning. The majority of manufacturers recommend that you keep the tank clean depending on how often you use your bot. If you want your bot to last for a long time, this is important. Certain brands, like the top picks of our rating, come with a tanks that are washable and removable to remove dirt water and allow the tank to dry between cleaning sessions.

Most of the newer mop-vacs we have tested are compatible with an app that allows you to save maps of your home and set up cleaning schedules or select cleaning modes. This is a feature we look for when selecting the right model, since it makes the process of setting up and operating your robot cleaner much easier. If the robot you pick doesn't have an app, it is still possible to control the basic functions of the bot using buttons or a remote.

The latest models we've examined can sweep up dust and dirt from various surfaces This is a major improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners which mainly simply pushed a pad of water across the floor. However, these machines are not designed to handle huge spills, and they still need to be cleaned by hand. They also can't handle furniture and can get confused in rooms that have lots of things on the floor, so be sure to straighten up the area prior to mopping it to ensure that the machine can maneuver around it effectively.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to clean and remove the brushes that are on the sides or on the bottom of certain newer bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). Sensors are also used by most bots to navigate around the floor and avoid obstacles. To ensure that these sensors are working well, it's helpful to clean the sensors every few cleaning cycles using a soft, clean cloth - especially the areas where the sensors are press-fit against the floor.

Although it is possible to add other cleaners (such as vinegar) to the robot's tank however, we don't recommend it unless it's been recommended by the manufacturer. This could damage the robot and could void its warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot mop and vacuum has a dock on its own that doubles as its water tank, it will need to be cleaned on a regular basis. The dock can accumulate dirt, grit and other debris that will need to be cleaned and removed after the mop is finished. Many of our picks come with a self-cleaning feature that you can access via the app or on the mop. This keeps the tank in good condition and prevents mildew.

It is also essential to wash the area around the dock where the pads are washed. If the area is left wet, it may turn slimy and even smell. If your model comes with disposable or washable mop pads, be sure to wash them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions between cleaning cycles. This is also true for models with a hybrid mop/vacuum which use brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit. Clean the brushes and clean them using a cloth or rag after each cleaning cycle.

Some of the most sophisticated robot vacuum-mop combinations we've tested contain sensors that help them navigate floors and avoid obstacles, however it's still necessary to wipe the sensor areas clean on a regular basis. This can prevent dirt and grime from blocking the sensors and causing misjudgment.

While most robot mop and vacuums require a little bit of work on an ongoing basis, they offer big advantages for busy homeowners. They will keep your floors looking beautiful and eliminate the need for heavy lifts. They also save time, which is the most valuable resource you have at home.

While there are companies that are attempting to develop better robot vacuum-mop units, they have some way to go before they get to our level of quality. However, we expect these machines to improve with time, just as all other robot vacuums have in the past.

Cleaning the Brushes

Similar to vacuum cleaners it is important to maintain your cleaning robot mop and vacuum combination to ensure it is working well. Wipe down sensors to aid in navigation clean and empty the water tank, clean pet hair clogs that block brushes and charge ports, clean the ports and replace the filter and rollers as recommended by the manufacturer. These suggestions will ensure that your robot mop and vacuum works efficiently for a long period of time.

Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab Executive Director Carolyn Forte evaluates and tests cleaning appliances in the Laboratory, including robot vacuum-mop combos. Her team has been testing and suggesting products for more than 40 years.

Combinations of robot vacuums and mops are perfect for cleaning both dry debris (dust and dirt) and wet spills. (spills and stains) without having to switch machines. Multitaskers are great for making it easier to save time and effort. They're also convenient for those with a hectic schedule.

Certain robots require an application to function and have more features than others, such as a map this model created of our obstacle course, which is a big selling point. You can also utilize the app to schedule and modify cleaning schedules modify mopping settings and check the battery level. Certain models have hands-free operation via voice like the model that works with Alexa.

If you are considering purchasing a robot vacuum and mop combo, look for one that has the features that are important to you. While all models use a pad with water over floors, some include scrubbers that can be used to clean grout, or rotating brushes for more vigorous scrubs. Some models come with a filter which can be cleaned or replaced to eliminate the smell.

Some mopping robots drop their dirty pads into an empty base that automatically dumps them into a waste bin, removing the need to manually clean the pads or refill a tank. Some mopping robots, such as the Noesis Florio have reusable pads which can be washed and dried between uses. If you opt for the model with reusable pads, be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions about washing and drying them to ensure they look the best.
