cleaning robot mop and vacuum (official site) Combo

The majority of robot vacuums and mop models have an app that lets you save maps of your home and organize cleaning schedules, and then select mopping mode. Some models with dual rotating pads will also return to the dock to clean their brushes and empty dirty water.

If your model uses pads that are reusable, take them off and wash them (if safe) each time you clean them to prevent the buildup of bacteria. Also, you'll want to scrub down the resting tray that they are sitting on between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops use pads with a cleaner that are pushed across the floor to soften the sticky marks and spots using scrubbing motions or a brush. To stop the growth of bacteria up and to prevent them from smelling, these pads should be cleaned and removed between use (if they can be washed). Some models have brushes on the bottom and sides of the robot. These brushes also require to be washed, rinsed or replaced every few cleaning cycles.

The best 2-in-1 robotic vacuum/mop combos are easy to operate and include features that help reduce cleaning maintenance after cleaning. These include self-cleaning pads, docks, and automatic emptying of the trash bin. This helps keep your robot mopping almost immediately after a cleaning. If you want your robot to be able to navigate and avoid obstacles, you should wipe down its sensors using towels or soft cloths every few cycles. This step will help remove dust that could hinder sensors and cause errors.

If you have carpets, be sure to choose a robot mop that is compatible with them. Most robot mops are able to work on hard surfaces, but those that also scrub or vacuum floors may require reprogramming to avoid carpets. Some robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners are equipped with mapping capabilities. This allows you to observe the areas your robot has cleaned, and also those it has not.

Most robots with apps use sensors to guide them through the home and avoid obstacles, but they may occasionally 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 updates. Before purchasing a robot, we recommend creating an obstacle course at home to check its performance.

The majority of robot mops have two tanks, one for clean water and the second for dirty water. The dirty water tank must be filled and emptied frequently. The water tanks are easily removed from the base to make it easier to clean them and rinse with warm water and mild soap. Most models come with an under-sink drip tray beneath the dirty tank to catch any liquid that spills. It is recommended to empty the drip tray after each cleaning cycle to minimize the risk of growth of bacteria.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mop, autonomous vacuum combination and robot mops have a water reservoir for cleaning. The majority of manufacturers recommend cleaning the tank regularly, depending on how frequently you use your robot. This is essential for bots that you want last for an extended period of time. Certain brands, including the top picks in our ratings, have removable, washable tanks that allow you to remove the dirty water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

The majority of the mop-vacs we tested come with an app that lets you save your home's maps, create cleaning schedules, or choose different cleaning options. This is something we look for when deciding on the right model, since it makes the process of setting up and operating your robot cleaner much simpler. If the robot you pick doesn't have an app, it's still possible to control the fundamental functions of the bot using a button or remote.

All of the latest models we've examined can sweep dust and dirt off many surfaces this is a significant improvement over previous iterations of robot cleaners that mostly simply pushed a pad of water across the floor. These machines aren't designed to take on large spills. They have to be cleaned manually. They are also not able to handle large furniture pieces and can get confused in rooms with lots of stuff on the floor, so be sure to straighten the space before mopping to ensure the machine is able to move around it easily.

Follow the manufacturer's directions to remove and wash the brushes that are on the sides or on the bottom of the latest bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). Most bots also come with sensors that assist them in navigating floors and avoid obstacles. It is important to clean the sensors every couple of cleaning cycles, especially where they are pressed up against the floor.

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

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot vacuum and mop combination has docks that also double as water tank, you'll have to keep it clean regularly. The dock can collect dirt, grit and debris that needs to be cleaned and removed when the mop has finished. A majority of our choices have a self-cleaning feature that you can use via the app or on the mop. This helps keep the tank clean and helps to prevent mildew.

It is also essential to clean the area of the dock where the pads are cleaned. If the area is left wet, it may be slimy and smell. If your model is equipped with disposable or washable mop pads, be sure to wash them in accordance with manufacturer's instructions in between cleaning cycles. Hybrid mop/vacuum units with brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit are also affected. Remove the brushes and clean them with a cloth or rag after each cleaning cycle.

Some of the more sophisticated robot vacuum-mop combinations we've tested include sensors that aid in navigating floors and avoid obstacles, but it's still necessary to wipe the sensor areas clean regularly. This can prevent dirt and grime from blocking the sensors and causing misjudgment.

While the majority of robot mop and vacuum cleaners require a little work on a regular basis, they provide huge advantages to the busy homeowner. They can keep floors looking great, eliminate the need for heavy lifting and save you the most valuable resource of the home- your free time.

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

Cleaning the Brushes

Similar to vacuum cleaners, it's important to maintain your cleaning robot mop and vacuum combo so it keeps functioning well. Clean sensors to aid in navigation clear and rinse the water tank, remove pet hair clogs that block brushes, keep charge ports clean and change the rollers and filter as suggested by the manufacturer. These tips 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 which includes robot vacuum and mop combos. Her team has been testing and suggesting products for more than 40 years.

Combinations of robot vacuums and mops are ideal to clean dry debris (dust and dirt) and wet mess. (spills and staining) without having to switch machines. Multitaskers are great for making it easier to save time and effort. They're also great for busy schedule.

Some robots are controlled by an app and come with additional features. For example this model features an outline of our obstacle course which is a major selling feature. You can also schedule and alter cleaning sessions with the app, switch mopping mode and determine the battery's level. Certain models have voice activation to allow hands-free operation such as the model that works with Alexa.

When you are looking for a robot mop or vacuum, make sure that it comes with the features you need. Each model uses a pad to sweep floors, but some include scrubbers for cleaning grout or a rotating roller brush for more intense scrub. Some models have a filter which can be changed or cleaned to reduce smells.

Some mopping robots drop their dirty pads onto an empty base that automatically dumps them into a trash bin, eliminating the need to manually clean the pads or refill the tank. Some, like the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that can be washed and dry between uses. If you choose one with reusable pads, be sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions for drying and washing them in order to keep them looking their best automatic vacuum cleaner.
