Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

Most robot vacuum cleaner vacuums and mops pair with an application that lets you save maps of your house, set cleaning schedules and choose mopping settings. Some models with dual spinning pads will also automatically return to their docks during cleaning to dump dirty water and clean their brushes.

If your model has reusable pads, remove them and wash them (if safe) every few cleaning cycles to prevent the buildup of bacteria. It is also recommended to clean the tray that they rest on between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops have pads that are soaked with cleaning solution and pass over the floor, either by scrubbing or brushing to get rid of the sticky spots and other marks. To prevent bacteria from building up and keep them from smelling, these pads should be cleaned and removed between usage (if they can be washed). 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 best 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop combos are easy to use and come with features that reduce post-cleaning maintenance. These include self-cleaning pads docks and automatic vacuum and mop dustbin emptying. This keeps your robot mopping immediately after a cleaning. If you want your robot's sensors to navigate and avoid obstacles, clean them using a soft towel or cloth every couple of cycles. This will remove dust that can interfere with sensors and cause errors.

If you have carpets in your home, be sure to select a robot mop that is compatible with them. Most robot mops are able to work on hard surfaces, however those that also scrub or vacuum floors may need to be reprogrammed to recognize or avoid carpets. Certain robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping features that can give you a live map of your room so you can track where your robot has cleaned and what areas it hasn't.

The majority of app-connected robot mop mops utilize sensors to help them navigate the home and steer clear of obstacles, but they may sometimes be confused or lost. To ensure that your robot's ability to navigate and avoid obstacles are as efficient as they can be, update the mopping app regularly with new software releases. We recommend testing the robot's performance in your home by creating an obstacle course for it to test its capabilities before purchasing it.

Most robot mops come with two tanks: one for clean water and one for dirty water. The tank for dirty water is required to be filled and empty frequently. The water tanks can be removed from the base, making it easier to clean them and wash them with warm water and mild soap. The majority of models have drip tray which sits under the water tank that has been contaminated to collect any spilled liquid. It is recommended to empty your drip tray every cleaning cycle to stop bacteria from growing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mop, vacuum combinations, and robot mops utilize a water reservoir for cleaning. Most manufacturers recommend cleaning this tank on a regular basis, dependent on how often you use your robot. This is vital if you want your bots to last for an extended period of time. Some brands, including the top choices in our ratings include washable, removable tanks that allow you to remove the dirty water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

Most of the newer 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 out for when choosing a robotic cleaner. It makes setting it up and using it much simpler. If the robot you choose does not come with an app, it is still possible to control the fundamental functions of the robot with a button or remote.

The latest models we've tested are able to remove dust and dirt on multiple surfaces. This is a huge improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners which mostly pushed a pad of water across the floor. However they're not designed to handle huge spills, which still need to be cleaned by hand. They aren't able to move furniture, and they can become lost in rooms with lots of clutter.

Some modern bots come with brushes on the sides and bottom that can be removed and washed, so be certain to follow the instructions of the manufacturer on how to do this (typically, use a damp microfiber cloth). Sensors are also used by a majority of bots to navigate on the floor and avoid obstacles. To ensure that these sensors are working well, it's helpful to clean the sensors every couple of cleaning cycles with a soft clean cloth, especially the areas where sensors are placed against the floor.

Finally, while it is possible to pour other cleaners in your robot's tank (for example vinegar, for example) We recommend against doing this unless the manufacturer suggests it. This could damage the robot and invalidate the warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot mop and vacuum comes with a dock that doubles as its water tank, it's going to need to be cleaned regularly. The dock can collect dirt, dust and grit that will need to be removed and washed when the mop is finished. Many of our picks come with a self-cleaning feature which you can access through the app or on the mop. This keeps the tank clean and also prevents mildew.

The dock's area that washes the pads also should be cleaned periodically -it can become slimy or smell bad if left wet for too long. If your model is equipped with disposable or washable mop pads ensure you're washing them according to the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning cycles. The same goes for hybrid vacuum models that have brushes on the bottom and sides of the unit. Take the brushes out and clean them with a rag or cloth after each cleaning cycle.

It is essential to clean the sensor areas on some of the more sophisticated robot vacuums we've tried. They come with sensors that allow you to navigate floors and avoid obstructions. This will keep dirt and grime from blocking sensors, causing them to make incorrect judgements.

Although most robot vacuums and mop machines require some effort however, they're a great alternative for busy homeowners. They will keep your floors looking good and reduce the need for heavy lifts. They also save you time which is the most valuable resource you have at home.

There are a few companies that are trying to create better vacuum-mop robotics, but they are still a long way from our level of quality. But we expect these robots to improve over time, just like the other robot vacuums in the past.

Brushes to be cleaned

Maintaining your robot vacuum and mop is crucial, just like maintaining the vacuum cleaner. Clean sensors to improve navigation, empty and rinse the water tank, get rid of pet hair clogs off of brushes Keep charge ports clean and replace the filter and rollers according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. These tips will help your robot vacuum that mops vacuum and mop combo be efficient for a long time.

Carolyn Forte, Executive Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab is responsible for evaluating and tests cleaning products in the Laboratory. This includes robot vacuums and mops. Her team has been testing and suggesting them for over forty years.

Combinations of mop and robot vacuum are ideal for dealing with dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet messes (spills, stains) in one clean-up session without switching machines. Multitaskers can save you time and effort and are ideal for those who lives a full schedule.

Some robots are operated by an app and include more features. For instance this model comes with an obstacle course map that shows our course, which is a major selling feature. You can also schedule and modify cleaning sessions by using the app, switch mopping mode and check battery level. Some models allow hands-free operation via voice such as the model that is compatible with Alexa.

When you are looking for a robot mop and vacuum, ensure that it has the features you are looking for. All models utilize a pad to sweep the floor, but some include a scrubber for cleaning grout or a rotating roller brush for a more intensive scrub. Some models have a filter which can be changed or cleaned to eliminate smells.

Some mopping robots drop their dirty pads onto a base which automatically empties them into a garbage bin, removing the need to manually clean the pads or refill the tank. Some mopping robots that vacuum and mop, like the Noesis Florio have reusable pads that you can wash and dry between uses. If you choose one with pads that are reusable, make sure to read the instructions provided by the manufacturer on how to wash and dry them.
