Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

Most robot vacuums or mops have an app that lets you save maps of your home as well as set up cleaning schedules and select mopping mode. Some models with dual spinning pads also automatically return to their docks mid-cleaning to dump dirty water and clean their brushes.

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

Preparation

Many robot mops utilize pads with a cleaning solution that slide across the floor to soften the sticky marks and spots using scrubbing motions or a brush. To prevent bacteria from building up and to keep them from smelling, these pads must be cleaned and removed between use (if they can be washed). Some models also have brushes on the sides and the bottom of the robot which need to be washed and rinsed, or replaced every few cleaning cycles.

The most effective 2-in-1 robot mop/vacuum combos are simple to operate and include features that reduce cleaning maintenance 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 after a cleaning cycle. If you want your robot's sensors to be able navigate and avoid obstacles, clean them with a soft cloth or cloth every few cycles. This will help get rid of dust that can interfere with sensors and lead to errors.

Select a robot mop that is compatible with carpets if you have 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 carpets or avoid them. Some robotic mop/vacuum cleaners have mapping features that can give you a real-time map of the room so you can see where the robot hoover and mop has cleaned and what areas it hasn't.

The majority of apps-connected robots mops utilize sensors to navigate through the house and avoid obstacles however, they can get confused or lost. To ensure that your robot's ability to navigate and avoid obstacles are as efficient as they can be you should update the mopping application regularly with new software releases. We suggest testing a robot's performance in your home by constructing an obstacle course to race through prior to purchasing it.

Most robot vacuum with mop mops come with two tanks. One for clean water and the second for dirty water. The dirty water tank has to be emptied and filled frequently. The water tanks can be lifted out of the base which makes it easier to clean them and rinse them with mild soap and warm water. Most models have drip tray which is placed under the water tank that is dirty to collect any spilled liquid. It is recommended to empty your drip tray after every cleaning cycle to stop bacteria from growing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

Most robot mops, vacuum/mop combinations, and robot mops utilize a water reservoir for cleaning. Most manufacturers recommend cleaning this tank on a regular basis depending on how frequently you use your robot. If you want your bot to last a long time, this is important. Certain brands, like the top choices of our rating, come with a removable, washable tank to remove dirt water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

Most of the mop-vacs we tested have an app which lets you save maps of your home and organize cleaning schedules or select cleaning modes. This is an important feature to look out for when choosing a robot cleaner. It makes the process of setting it up and using it much easier. If your chosen model doesn't have an app, you can still control the basics of the robot by pressing the dock or remote.

All of the latest models we've tested can clean up dirt and dust on various surfaces this is a significant improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners that mostly just pushed a pad filled with water across the floor. These machines are not meant to handle large spills. They must be cleaned manually. These machines can't move furniture and could get lost in rooms that have a lot of clutter.

Some of the latest bots come with brushes on the sides and the bottom which can be removed and washed So, be sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer on how to do this (typically, use a damp microfiber cloth). Sensors are also used by most bots to navigate the floor and avoid obstacles. To keep these sensors working properly, it's recommended to wipe down the sensors every few cleaning cycles with a soft, clean cloth - especially the areas where sensors are placed against the floor.

Additionally, although it is possible to add other cleaners into the robot's tank (for instance vinegar, for example), we advise against doing so unless the manufacturer has recommended it. This could cause damage to your robot and could void its warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot mop and vacuum combo has a dock on its own that doubles as a water tank, it will have to be cleaned regularly. The dock may accumulate dirt, grit and debris that must be cleaned and removed after the mop is finished. A majority of our choices include a self-cleaning function that you can use via the app or the button on the mop. This helps keep the tank in good condition and helps prevent mildew from developing.

The area of the dock that washes the pads also should be cleaned periodically -it could become slimy or smell bad when left wet for too long. If your model is equipped with disposable or washable mop pads, make sure you are washing them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions between cleaning cycles. The same goes for hybrid mop/vacuum models that have brushes on the sides and bottom 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 most advanced robot vacuums we've tried. They are equipped with sensors that allow you to navigate floors and avoid obstructions. This will prevent dirt and grime from blocking the sensors and causing misjudgment.

While many robot mops and vacuum units require a little work on a regular basis, they offer big benefits for the busy homeowner. They will keep your floors looking beautiful and reduce the need for heavy lifts. They also save you time and energy, which is the most valuable resource you have at home.

There are a few companies trying to create better vacuum-mop robotics however they are quite a ways from our level of quality. We expect these machines to improve over time, just as all previous robot vacuums did.

Cleaning the Brushes

Just like vacuum cleaners, it's important to maintain your cleaning robot mop and vacuum combo so it keeps functioning properly. Wipe down sensors to make it easier to navigate clean and empty 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 suggestions will ensure that your robot mop and auto vacuum and mop 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 recommending them for more than forty years.

Robot vacuum and mop combos are great for cleaning both dry debris (dust dirt) and wet messes (spills and staining) in one cleaning session without having to switch machines. These multitaskers will save you time and effort and are a great choice for those who lives a full schedule.

Certain robots require an app to function and have more features than others, such as the map this model made of our obstacle course which is a big selling point. You can also use the app to schedule and modify cleaning schedules as well as change mopping modes and check battery levels. Certain models have voice activation to allow hands-free operation like the model that works with Alexa.

If you are considering purchasing a robot vacuum and mop combo make sure you choose a model that has the features that are most important to you. While all models push a pad of water over floors, some models have scrubbers that can be used to clean grout or an inclined brush roll for more vigorous scrub. Certain models come with filters that can be cleaned or replaced to reduce odors.

Some mopping machines dispose of their dirty pads and drop them into a base that automatically empties into a waste drawer eliminating the need to manually wash the pads or refill the tank. Some mopping robots, such as the Noesis Florio have reusable pads that you can wash and dry between uses. If you decide to purchase a model that has pads that are reusable, make sure to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer on how to wash and dry them.
