Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

Most robot vacuums or mop models have an app that lets you save maps of your house, set up cleaning schedules and then select mopping mode. Certain models with dual rotating pads will also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dump dirty water.

If your model is using pads that are reusable, take them off and wash them (if safe) every several cleaning cycles to prevent bacteria buildup. Also, you'll want to scrub down the resting tray where they sit between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops utilize pads that contain a cleaning solution that are pushed across the floor to soften the marks and sticky spots with scrubbing motions or a brush. The pads must be cleaned, removed (if they are washable) and dried between uses to avoid the growth of bacteria and prevent them from smelling unpleasant. Some models also have brushes on the sides and bottom of the robot, which must be cleaned and rinsed, or replaced every few cleaning cycles.

The most efficient 2-in-1 robot vacuum cleaner vacuum mop cleaner robot/mop combos are simple to use and come with features that cut down on the amount of maintenance needed after cleaning. These include automatic vacuum and mop robot emptying of the dustbin docks, self-cleaning pads, and self-cleaning pads which ensure that your robot is ready to mop immediately following a cleaning. If you want your robot's sensors to navigate and avoid obstacles, wipe them down with a soft towel or a cloth every few cycles. This will help get rid of dust that could block sensors and cause mistakes.

If you have carpets in your home, be sure to choose a robot mop that is compatible with carpets. Robotic mops that are able to vacuum or scrub floors must be reprogrammed in order to avoid carpets. Some robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners come with mapping capabilities. This allows you to identify the areas that your robot has cleaned, as well as those it hasn't.

Most robots with apps use sensors to guide them around the home and avoid obstacles, but they may sometimes get confused or lost. To ensure that your robot's navigation capabilities and obstacle-avoidance abilities are as good as possible and to ensure that the app is updated on a regular basis with the latest software versions. We suggest testing a robot's performance at home by creating an obstacle course for it to race through prior to purchasing it.

Most robot mops have two tanks: one for clean water and one for dirty water. The dirty water tank needs to be filled and empty on a regular basis. The water tanks can be removed from the base, making it easier to clean them and rinse them with warm water and mild soap. The majority of models have an under-sink drip tray beneath the dirty tank to catch any liquid that spills. It's recommended that you empty the drip tray following each cleaning cycle to reduce the risk of growth of bacteria.

Cleaning the Water Tank

Most robot vacuums and mop combos use a water tank for cleaning. Most manufacturers recommend cleaning this tank on a regular basis, dependent on how often you use your robot. This is crucial if you want your bots last for many years. Certain brands, including the top choices in our ratings include washable, removable tanks so you can remove the soiled water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

The majority of mop-vacs that we tested have an app that lets you save maps of your house and organize cleaning schedules or choose different cleaning options. This is something we look for when selecting a model, as it makes the process of setting up and using the robot cleaner a lot easier. If your chosen model doesn't have an app, you'll be able to manage the basic functions of the robot by pressing a button on its dock or via its remote.

The latest models we've tested can clean up dirt and dust on multiple surfaces this is a significant improvement over earlier versions of robot cleaners that largely just pushed a pad filled with water across the floor. However they aren't designed to deal with big spills, which have to be cleaned manually. These machines can't move furniture and could get lost in rooms with lots of clutter.

Some newer bots come with brushes on the bottom and sides which can be cleaned and removed, so be certain to follow the manufacturer's directions on how to do this (typically using use a damp microfiber cloth). Most bots also have sensors that help them navigate floors and avoid obstacles. It's important to wipe the sensors down every few cleaning cycles, particularly if they're pressed against the floor.

Although it is possible to add other cleaners (such as vinegar) to the robot's tank, we do not recommend it unless it's been recommended by the manufacturer. This could cause damage to your robot and could void its warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot mop and vacuum has a dock on its own that doubles as a water tank, it will have to be cleaned on a regular basis. The dock can accumulate dirt, grit and other debris that must be cleaned out and removed once the mop has finished. Many of our picks have a self-cleaning feature which you can access through the app or the button on the mop. This keeps the tank clean and prevents mildew.

It is also crucial to clean the area of the dock where the pads are washed. If left wet, it can be slimy and smell. If your model has washable or disposable mop pads, be sure to wash them in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer between cleaning cycles. This is also true for models with a hybrid mop/autonomous vacuum which use brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit. Clean the brushes and clean them with a rag or cloth after each cleaning cycle.

It's essential to clean the sensor areas of some of the most advanced robot vacuums we've tested. They come with sensors that help navigate floors and stay clear of obstructions. This will keep dust and grime blocking the sensors, causing them to make faulty judgments.

While most robot mop and vacuum units require a little bit of work on a regular basis, they offer big advantages for busy homeowners. They can keep your floors looking good and reduce the need for heavy lifts. They also save time and energy, which is the most valuable resource you have at home.

There are a few companies trying to develop better vacuum-mop machines, but they are still far from the quality we have. We expect these machines to improve over time, just as all previous robot vacuums did.

Brushes to be cleaned

Like a vacuum cleaner, it's important to maintain your mop and cleaning robot vacuum combination to ensure it is working well. Clean the sensors to improve navigation. Clean and empty the water tanks, clean pet hair from brushes Clean the charge ports and then replace the filter and rollers in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. These steps 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, including robot vacuum-mop combos. Her team has been testing and suggesting them for over forty years.

Combinations of robot vacuums and mops are ideal to clean dry debris (dust and dirt) and wet mess. (spills and stains) without the need to change machines. Multitaskers are great for making it easier to save time and effort. They are also great for those with a busy schedule.

Some robots are controlled by an app and have more features. For example this model comes with a map of our obstacle course which is a key selling feature. You can also use the app to schedule and modify cleaning schedules modify mopping settings and check battery levels. Other models include voice activation, such as this model that integrates with Alexa to allow hands-free control.

If you choose to purchase a robot vacuum and mop combination choose a model that has the features that are most important to you. All models utilize a pad to sweep the floor but some also have a scrubber to clean grout or a rotating brush for a more intensive scrub. Some models have a filter which can be cleaned or replaced in order to reduce odors.

Some mopping robots dump their dirty pads into an empty base that automatically dumps them into a waste bin, removing the need to manually wash the pads or refill a tank. Other models, such as the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that you wash and dry between uses. If you decide to purchase a model that has reusable pads, make sure to read the manufacturer's instructions for drying and washing them in order to ensure they look the best.
