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, create cleaning schedules, and choose mopping options. Certain models with dual rotating pads can also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dispose of dirty water.

If your model is using reusable pads, remove them and wash them (if safe) each time you clean them to prevent the buildup of bacteria. Also, you'll want to clean the resting tray where they sit between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops come with pads that are soaked with cleaning solution and then move across the floor, scrubbing or brushing to remove the sticky spots and other marks. To prevent bacteria from building up and to prevent them from smelling, these pads should be removed and washed between uses (if they can be washed). Some models also have brushes on the sides and bottom of the robot vacuum with mop, which need to be washed, rinsed or replaced after every few cleaning cycles.

The most effective 2-in-1 robot vacuum/mop combos are easy to use and have features that cut down on cleaning maintenance after cleaning. They include self-cleaning pads, docks and automatic dustbin emptying. This helps keep your robot mopping again almost immediately after cleaning. If you want your robot to be capable of navigating and avoiding obstacles, you should wipe down its sensors using towels or soft cloths every few cycles. This will remove dust that could interfere with sensors and cause errors.

Choose a mop for your robot that is suitable for carpets if already have carpets. Most robot mops are able to work on hard surfaces, however those that also be used to scrub or vacuum floors may need to be reprogrammed to recognize or avoid carpets. Some robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping capabilities. This allows you to identify the areas that your robot has cleaned as well as the areas it has not.

Most robots with apps use sensors to guide them through the home and avoid obstacles, but they can sometimes be confused or lost. To ensure that your robot's navigation and obstacle-avoidance capabilities are as effective as they can you should update the mopping application regularly with the latest software versions. We suggest testing a robot's performance at home by constructing an obstacle course to run through before purchasing it.

The majority of robot mops have two tanks: one for clean water and one for dirty water. The tank for dirty water has to be emptied and filled regularly. The tanks can be lifted off the base and made easier to clean and rinse them with mild soap and warm water. The majority of models have an under-sink drip tray beneath the dirty tank to collect any liquid spilled. It is recommended to empty the drip tray after every cleaning cycle to lower the risk of growth of bacteria.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot vacuums that mop mop, vacuum combinations, and robot mops utilize a reservoir of water for cleaning. The majority of manufacturers recommend that you keep the tank clean depending on how often you use your bot. This is vital to ensure that your bots last for a long time. Certain 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.

Many of the latest mop-vacs that we tested can be paired with an app that lets you save your home's maps as well as set cleaning schedules and select cleaning options. This is an important feature to look out for when choosing a robotic cleaner. It makes the process of setting it up and operating it much easier. If the model you choose doesn't come with an application, you can manage the basic functions of the bot from the dock or via its remote.

All the newer models that we've tested can vacuum up dirt and dust on a variety of surfaces. This is a big improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners, that mostly passed water-filled pads across the floor. They aren't made to take on large spills. They have to be cleaned manually. They also cannot handle large furniture pieces and may get lost in rooms with a lot of things on the floor, so make sure to straighten up the area prior to mopping it to make sure the machine can maneuver around it efficiently.

Follow the instructions of the manufacturer to wash and remove the brushes that are located on the sides or bottom of the latest bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). 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 those areas where the sensors are press-fit against the floor.

In addition, it is possible to add other cleaners into your robot's tank (for instance, vinegar) We recommend against using them unless the manufacturer recommends it. This could damage the robot and could cause the warranty to be voided.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your mop and robot vacuum combination comes with a dock that also doubles as water tank, you will need to clean it regularly. The dock can accumulate dirt, dust and grit, which needs to be removed and washed when the mop is finished. A majority of our choices come with a self-cleaning feature that you can access via the app or on the mop. This keeps the tank clean and prevents mildew.

The area of the dock which washes the pads should be cleaned every now and thenit can become slimy or even smell bad when left wet for a long time. If your model has disposable or washable mop pads, make sure to wash them according to the instructions of the manufacturer between cleaning cycles. This is also true for models with a hybrid mop/vacuum that have brushes on the bottom and sides of the unit. Remove the brushes and clean them with a rag or cloth after each cleaning cycle.

Some of the more sophisticated robot vacuum-mop combinations 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 regularly. This will stop dirt and grime from blocking the sensors, which can cause them to make faulty judgments.

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

Although there are some startups that are working to develop better robot vacuum-mop units but they still have a long way to go before they get to our level of quality. But we do expect these robots to improve in time, just as all other robot vacuums have in the past.

Cleaning the Brushes

Maintaining your robot's mop and vacuum is essential, just as maintaining the vacuum cleaner. Clean the sensors to improve navigation. Empty and wash the water tanks, clean hairs from brushes Clean the charge ports, and replace the filter and rollers according to the instructions of the manufacturer. These suggestions will ensure that your robot mop and vacuum 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 perfect to clean dry debris (dust and dirt) and wet messes. (spills and stains) without the need to change machines. These multitaskers can help you save time and energy and are ideal for those with a busy life.

Some robots are controlled by an app and have additional features. For instance this model features an outline of our obstacle course which is a major selling point. You can also plan and modify cleaning sessions using the app, switch mopping mode, and determine the battery's level. Some models allow hands-free operation via voice like the model that integrates with Alexa.

If you're looking for a robot mop and vacuum, make sure that it has the features you are looking for. Each model uses a pad to sweep the floor, but some include a scrubber to clean grout or a rotating roller brush for more intense scrubbing. Some have filters that can be cleaned or replaced to reduce odors.

Some mopping robots drop their dirty pads onto the base, which then automatically empty them into a waste bin, removing the need to manually clean the pads or refill the tank. Other models, such as the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that you wash and dry between use. If you decide to purchase one with pads that are reusable, make sure to follow the instructions of the manufacturer on how to wash and dry them.
