Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo Most robot vacuums and mops pair with an app that lets you save maps of your house set cleaning schedules and choose mopping settings Some models with dual spinning pads also automatically return to their docks during cleaning to dump dirty water and clean their brushes If your model uses disposable pads take them off and wash them if safe each time you clean them to prevent bacteria buildup You should also clean the tray that they rest on between cleanings Preparation Many robot mops have pads that are soaked in cleaning solution and are swept across the floor either by scrubbing or brushing to remove sticky spots and other marks To stop the growth of bacteria up and to keep them from smelling the pads must be removed and washed between usage if they can be washed Some models have brushes on the bottom and sides of the robot that also require to be washed rinsed or replaced every few cleaning cycles The best 2in1 robot mopvacuum combos are simple to use and come with features that decrease the amount of maintenance needed after cleaning automated vacuum cleaner include selfcleaning pads docks and automatic emptying of the trash bin This will keep your robot mopping immediately after cleaning If you want your robots sensors to be able navigate and avoid obstacles clean them with a soft cloth or cloth every couple of cycles This will get rid of dust that can interfere with sensors and cause errors Choose a mop that is that is compatible with carpets if you have carpets Most robot mops work well on hard surfaces however those which can also scrub or vacuum floors may require reprogramming to recognize or avoid carpets Some robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping capabilities This lets you observe the areas your robot has cleaned as well as those that it hasnt The majority of appsconnected robots mops utilize sensors to navigate through the house and avoid obstacles but can sometimes be lost or confused To ensure that your robots navigation and obstacleavoidance capabilities are as efficient as they can be update the mopping app on a regular basis with new software updates Before purchasing a robot we recommend creating an obstacle course at your home to test its performance Most robot mops come with two tanks one for clean water and the other for dirty water The tank for dirty water must be filled and emptied frequently The tanks can be lifted off the base and made easier to clean them and rinse them with mild soap and warm water The majority of models have a drip tray underneath the tank that collects any liquid spilled It is recommended that you empty your drip tray at the end of each cleaning cycle to stop bacteria from growing Cleaning the Water Tank The majority of robot mops and vacuummop combination devices use a tank of water to clean Most manufacturers recommend cleaning this tank regularly depending on how frequently you use your robot If you want your bot to last a long time this is crucial Certain brands including the top picks in our rating are washable removable tanks allowing you to wash off the soiled water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions Most of the mopvacs we tested have an app which allows you to save maps of your house as well as create cleaning schedules or select cleaning modes This is a crucial feature to look out for when selecting a robot cleaner It makes the process of setting it up and using it much simpler If the robot you select does not come with an app its still possible to control the essential functions of the bot using the remote or button All of the latest models weve tested can clean up dirt and dust on various surfaces this is a significant improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners that mostly just passed a pad with water across the floor However these machines are not designed to handle large spills which still need to be cleaned by hand They also cannot handle a lot of furniture and can get confused in rooms with lots of clutter on the floor so make sure to straighten the space before mopping to ensure that the machine is able to move around it effectively Some newer bots come with brushes on the bottom and sides which can be removed and laundered Be certain to follow the instructions of the manufacturer on how to do this typically using use a damp microfiber cloth Sensors are also used by a majority of bots to navigate on the floor and avoid obstacles To ensure that these sensors are working properly its recommended to wipe down the sensors every few cleaning cycles with a soft clean cloth especially those areas where the sensors are placed against the floor Additionally although it is possible to put other cleaners in your robots tank for example vinegar or acetic acid we advise against using them unless the manufacturer has recommended it This can damage the robot and could cause the warranty to be voided Cleaning the Drip Tray If your robot mop and vacuum combo has a dock on its own that doubles as its water tank its going to need to be cleaned regularly The dock can collect dirt grit and debris that needs to be cleaned and removed after the mop is done Many of our picks have a selfcleaning feature that you can use via the app or the button on the mop This keeps the tank in good condition and helps prevent mildew It is also important to wash the area around the dock where the pads are cleaned If the dock is left wet it could become slimy and even smell If your model is equipped with washable or disposable mop pads make sure to wash them in accordance with the manufacturers instructions between cleaning cycles The same is true for models with a hybrid mopvacuum that have brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit After each cleaning cycle remove the brushes and clean them with an abrasive or a cloth It is essential to clean the sensor areas of a few of the most advanced robot mop vacuum combos weve test They have sensors that aid in navigating floors and stay clear of obstructions This will prevent dirt and grime from blocking the sensors causing them make faulty judgments While most robot vacuums and mop systems require some work they are a great alternative for busy homeowners They can keep floors looking great and reduce the necessity for heavy lifting and save you the most valuable resource you have in the homeyour time While there are a few startups that are working to create better robot vacuum units however they still have some way to go before they can reach our standard of quality But we expect these robots to improve in time just as all other robot vacuums in the past Cleaning the Brushes Like a vacuum cleaner it is important to maintain your mop and cleaning robot vacuum unit to ensure that its working well Wipe down the sensors to enhance navigation Empty and wash the water tanks remove hairs from brushes clean the charge ports and replace the filter and rollers according to the instructions of the manufacturer These tips will make your robot vacuum and mop combo be efficient for longer 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 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 staining without having to switch machines These multitaskers are great at making it easier to save time and effort They are also great for those with a hectic schedule Certain robots require an application to operate and provide more features than others like the map this model made of our obstacle course which is one of the main selling points You can also plan and modify cleaning sessions using the app switch mopping modes and check the battery level Other models provide voice activation such as this model that integrates with Alexa to allow handsfree control When you are looking for a robot mop or vacuum make sure that it has the features you want While all models push pads with water across floors some models have a scrubber that can be used to clean grout or an inclined brush roll to provide more intensive scrubbing Some models have filters which can be cleaned or replaced to eliminate odors Some mopping robots dump their dirty pads into the base which then automatically empty them into a garbage bin removing the need to manually clean the pads or refill a tank Others such as the Noesis Florio have reusable pads that you wash and dry between uses If you opt for a model with reusable pads be sure you follow the instructions of the manufacturer on drying and washing them in order to keep them looking the best
