Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

The majority of robot vacuums and mops pair with an application that lets you save maps of your home, set cleaning schedules, and choose mopping modes. Some models that have dual rotating pads will also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dispose of dirty water.

If your model has pads that are reusable, take them off and wash them (if safe) every several cleaning cycles to prevent bacteria buildup. You should also clean the tray in which they rest between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops have pads that are soaked with cleaning solution and pass over the floor, either brushing or scrubbing to remove sticky marks and other spots. To stop the growth of bacteria up and keep them from smelling, the pads should be cleaned and removed between use (if they can be washed). Some models have brushes on the sides and bottom of the robot that also need to be washed, rinsed or replaced after a few cleaning cycles.

The most efficient 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop combos are simple to use and come with features that cut down on the amount of maintenance needed after cleaning. These include self-cleaning pads docks, and automatic emptying of the dustbin. This keeps your robot mopping again almost immediately following a cleaning cycle. If you want your robot to be in a position to navigate and avoid obstacles, try wiping down its sensors using a soft cloth or towel every few cycles. This step will help remove dust that could interfere with sensors and lead to errors.

Select a robot mop compatible with carpets if you already have them. The majority of robot mops work on hard surfaces, however those which can also vacuum or scrub floors might require reprogramming to avoid carpets. Some robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping capabilities. This lets you identify the areas that your robot has cleaned, as well as the areas it has not.

Most robots with apps use sensors to help them navigate the home and avoid obstacles, but they can sometimes get confused or lost. Make sure to update the mopping application regularly with the latest software updates to ensure that your robot has the best navigation and obstacle-avoidance abilities. We recommend testing the robot's performance at home by constructing an obstacle course to race through prior to purchasing it.

The majority of robot mops have two tanks one for clean water and another for dirty water. The dirty tank has to be filled and empty on a regular basis. The water tanks can be easily removed from the base to make it easier to clean them and rinse them with warm water and mild soap. The majority of models have a drip tray underneath the dirty tank to catch any liquid spilled. It is recommended to empty your drip tray after every cleaning cycle to prevent bacterial from growing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mops, vacuum/mop combination and robot mops have a water reservoir for cleaning. The majority of manufacturers recommend cleaning the tank regularly, depending on the frequency you use your robot vacuum cleaners best. This is crucial for bots that you want to last for a long time. Some brands, including the top choices in our rankings include washable, removable tanks, allowing you to wash off the soiled water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

Many of the latest mop-vacs we have tested can be used with an app that allows you to save maps of your home as well as set cleaning schedules and select cleaning options. This is an important feature to consider when selecting a robot cleaner. It makes setting it up and operating it much simpler. If your choice doesn't have an app, you can still control the basics of the bot from a button on its dock or remote.

All of the latest models we've reviewed can vacuum up dirt and dust on many surfaces This is a major improvement over earlier versions of robot cleaners that largely just passed a pad with water across the floor. They aren't made to deal with large spills. They must be cleaned manually. They can't move furniture and could get lost in rooms with a lot of clutter.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to clean and remove the brushes on the sides or on the bottom of the latest bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). Sensors are also used by a majority of bots to navigate around the floor and avoid obstacles. It is important to wipe the sensors down every few cleaning cycles, especially if they're pressed against the floor.

Additionally, although it is possible to add other cleaners into the robot's tank (for instance vinegar or acetic acid) We do not recommend using them unless the manufacturer recommends it. This can damage the robot and could end the warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your mop and robot vacuum combination comes with a dock that also doubles as a water tank, then you will need to clean it regularly. The dock is prone to collecting dust, grit and other debris, which must be cleared and cleaned when the mop is finished. A lot of our picks come with an auto-cleaning cycle that which you can control with the app or on the mop itself. This keeps the tank in good condition and helps prevent mildew.

The dock area that washes the pads also must be cleaned from time to time -- it can get slimy or smell bad if left wet for too long. If your model is equipped with washable or disposable mop pads, be sure to wash them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions between cleaning cycles. Hybrid vacuum and mop units that have brushes on the sides and bottom are also affected. Clean the brushes and clean them with a cloth or rag after each cleaning cycle.

Some of the more advanced robot vacuums and mops we've tested contain sensors that allow them to navigate floors and avoid obstacles, but it's still important to wipe down those sensor areas on a regular basis. This will prevent dirt and grime from blocking sensors, causing them make inaccurate judgments.

While most robot vacuums and mop machines require some work however, they're a great option for busy homeowners. They will keep floors looking beautiful and reduce the need for heavy lifting, and save you the most valuable resource you have in a home -your time.

Although there are some new companies that are trying to build better robot vacuum-mop units but they have a long way to go before they can reach our standard of quality. But we do expect these robots to improve over time, just like the other robot hoover and mop vacuums in the past.

Brushes to be cleaned

Just like vacuum cleaners is essential to maintain your cleaning robot mop and vacuum combination to ensure it is functioning well. Wipe down sensors to make it easier to navigate clean and empty the water tank, clean pet hair clogs from brushes Keep charge ports clean and replace filter and rollers as recommended by the manufacturer. These suggestions will ensure that your robot mop and vacuum combo works efficiently for a long period of time.

Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab Executive Director Carolyn Forte evaluates and tests cleaning equipment in the Laboratory including robot vacuum-mop combos. Her team has been testing and providing recommendations for them for more than forty years.

Robot vacuums and mops are great for tackling dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet mess (spills, stains) in one clean-up session without having to switch machines. Multitaskers are great for making time and effort. They are also great for those with a hectic schedule.

Some robots are operated by an app and have more features. For example this model comes with an outline of our obstacle course, which is a major selling point. You can also schedule and modify cleaning sessions with the app, change mopping mode, and determine the battery's level. Some models offer hands-free operation via voice such as the model that works with Alexa.

If you decide to purchase a robot vacuum and mop combination choose a model that has the features that are most important to you. While all models pass pads with water across floors, some include scrubbers that can be used to clean grout or a rotating brush roll for more vigorous scrub. Some models have filters which can be cleaned or replaced to eliminate odors.

Some mopping robots discard their dirty pads and drop them into a base that automatically emptys into a garbage drawer, eliminating the need to wash the pads manually or refill the tank. Some mopping robots, such as the Noesis Florio have reusable pads you can wash and dry between uses. If you choose a model that has reusable pads, make sure to read the manufacturer's instructions about drying and washing them in order to ensure they look their best.
