cleaning robot mop and vacuum (her latest blog) Combo

The majority of robot vacuums and mops pair with an app that allows you to save maps of your home, create cleaning schedules and choose mopping settings. Some models with dual spinning pads will also automatically return to their docks mid-cleaning to flush out dirty water and clean their brushes.

If your model is using disposable pads, take them off and wash them (if safe) every several cleaning cycles to avoid the buildup of bacteria. It is also recommended to clean the tray they sit on between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops use pads with a cleaner that slide across the floor to soften the marks and sticky spots with scrubbing motions or brushes. To stop bacteria from building up and to keep them from smelling, the pads should be removed and washed between usage (if they are washable). Some models also have brushes on the sides and the bottom of the robot which need to be washed or rinsed after every few cleaning cycles.

The most efficient 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop combos are simple to use and come with features that decrease the amount of maintenance required after cleaning. These include self-cleaning pads docks and automatic vacuum cleaner and mop dustbin emptying. This keeps your robot mopping almost immediately after cleaning. If you want your robot's sensors to to navigate around obstacles, clean them using a soft towel or cloth every few cycles. This will remove dust that can block sensors and lead to mistakes.

Select a robot mop compatible with carpets if you have carpets. Most robot mops are able to work on hard surfaces, but those which can also scrub or vacuum floors might need to be reprogrammed to recognize or avoid carpets. Certain robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners come with mapping functions. This allows you to see the areas that your robot has cleaned, and also those it has not.

The majority of app-connected robot mop use sensors to navigate through the house and avoid obstacles but they can also get confused or lost. It is important to update the mopping app frequently with the latest software updates to ensure that your robot is equipped with the most effective navigation and obstacle-avoidance abilities. Before purchasing a robot, we recommend creating an obstacle course in your home to test its performance.

Most robot mops come with two tanks one for clean water and the other for dirty water. The tank for dirty water is required to be filled and empty frequently. The water tanks are easily removed from the base to make it easier to clean them and rinse them with warm water and mild soap. Most models come with a drip tray underneath the dirty tank to collect any liquid spilled. It is recommended that you empty your drip tray at the end of each cleaning cycle to prevent bacteria from developing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mops, vacuum/mop combination and robot mops have a reservoir of water for cleaning. The majority of manufacturers recommend that you keep the tank clean depending on the frequency you use your robot vacuum cleaner. This is essential to ensure that your bots last for a long time. Certain brands, like the top picks of our reviews, have a removable, washable tank to remove dirt water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

Many of the latest mop-vacs that we tested can be paired with an app that lets you save maps of your home and set up cleaning schedules or select cleaning modes. This is a crucial feature to look for when choosing a robotic cleaner. It makes setting it up and operating it much simpler. If the robot you select doesn't have an app, it is still possible to control the basic functions of the bot using a button or remote.

The latest models we've tested are able to remove dirt and dust on a variety of surfaces. This is a big improvement over the previous versions of robot cleaners which mostly pushed water-filled pads across the floor. These machines are not meant to take on large spills. They have to be cleaned manually. These machines can't move furniture and could get lost in rooms with a lot of clutter.

Follow the instructions of the manufacturer to remove and wash the brushes that are on the bottom or sides of certain newer bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). Sensors are also used by most bots to navigate on the floor and avoid obstacles. To ensure that these sensors are working well, it's a good idea to wipe down the sensors after every few cleaning cycles with a soft clean cloth, particularly the areas where sensors are pressed against the floor.

Additionally, although it is possible to add other cleaners in your robot's tank (for instance vinegar, for example) We recommend against using them unless the manufacturer has recommended it. This could damage the robot and could cause the warranty to be voided.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot vacuum and mop combination has docks that double as a water tank, you'll have to keep it clean regularly. The dock may accumulate dirt, grit and other debris that will need to be cleaned out and removed once the mop has finished. Many of our picks have an auto-cleaning cycle that you can use the app or on the mop itself. This keeps the tank in good condition and helps prevent mildew from developing.

It is also important to wash the area around the dock where the pads are cleaned. If the dock is left wet, it could be slimy and smell. If your model uses disposable or washable mop pads, ensure you're washing them according to the instructions of the manufacturer between cleaning cycles. Hybrid vacuum and mop units that have brushes on the sides and bottom are also affected. Take the brushes out and clean them with a rag or cloth after each cleaning cycle.

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

While most robot vacuums and mop systems require some effort they are an excellent alternative for busy homeowners. They can keep your floors looking beautiful and reduce the need for heavy lifting. They also save you time which is the most valuable resource you have at home.

There are a few companies working to develop better vacuum-mop machines however they are quite a ways from the quality we have. We anticipate that these robots will improve over time just as all the previous robot vacuums have.

Cleaning the Brushes

Maintaining your robot's mop and vacuum is crucial, just like maintaining your vacuum cleaner. Clean the sensors to improve navigation. Empty and rinse the water tanks, take out pet hair from brushes and charge ports, clean them, and replace the rollers and filter in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. These suggestions will help your robot vacuum and mop combination perform efficiently for a long time.

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

Combinations of robot vacuums and mops are perfect to clean dry debris (dust and dirt) and wet spills. (spills and staining) without having to switch machines. Multitaskers can save you time and effort and are a great choice for those with a busy life.

Some robots are operated by an app and have additional features. For example this model features a map of our obstacle course which is a key selling point. You can also schedule and alter cleaning sessions using the app, switch mopping mode and check battery level. Others offer voice activation, such as this model that works with Alexa to allow hands-free control.

If you choose to purchase a robot vacuum and mop combo choose models that have the features that are important to you. While all models use pads with water over floors, some models have a scrubber that can be used to clean grout or a rotating brush roll to provide more intensive scrub. Certain models come with filters that can be cleaned or replaced in order to lessen odors.

Some mopping machines dispose of their dirty pads and drop them into a base which automatically discharges into a waste bin, making it unnecessary to wash the pads manually or refill the tank. Some, like the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that you wash and dry between uses. If you decide to purchase the model with reusable pads, be sure you read the instructions of the manufacturer on drying and washing them to ensure they look their best.
