Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

The majority of robot vacuums or mop models come with an app that allows you to save your home's maps as well as create cleaning schedules and select mopping mode. Some models that have dual spinning pads also automatically return to their docks during cleaning to flush out dirty water and clean their brushes.

If your model is using disposable pads, take them off and wash them (if safe) each time you clean them to avoid the buildup of bacteria. Also, you should clean the tray they rest on between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops have pads that are soaked with cleaning solution and then move across the floor, scrubbing or brushing to get rid of sticky spots and other marks. To stop the growth of bacteria up and to keep them from smelling, the pads should be cleaned and removed between use (if they can be washed). 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 best automatic vacuum and mop 2-in-1 robot mop/vacuum combos are simple to operate and include features that help reduce post-cleaning maintenance. These include self-cleaning pads docks and automatic dustbin emptying. This helps keep your robot mopping almost immediately following a cleaning cycle. 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 will help get rid of dust that can block sensors and cause mistakes.

Select a robot mop compatible with carpets if you have carpets. Most robot mops work well on hard surfaces, however those which can also vacuum or scrub floors might require reprogramming to recognize carpets or avoid them. Certain robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping features. This lets you observe the areas the robot has cleaned as well as the areas it hasn't.

Most robots with apps use sensors to guide them through the home and avoid obstacles, but they may sometimes get lost or confused. It is important to update the mopping app frequently with the latest software releases to ensure your robot is equipped with the most effective navigation and obstacle-avoidance capabilities. Before you buy a robot we suggest that you create 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 dirty tank has to be filled and emptied on a regular basis. The water tanks are easily removed from the base, making it easier to clean them and rinse with warm water and mild soap. The majority of models have a drip tray underneath the dirty tank to collect any liquid that spills. It is recommended that you empty your drip tray every cleaning cycle to stop bacteria from growing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mops and vacuum/mop combos use a water tank to wash. Most manufacturers advise you to clean this tank regularly, dependent on the frequency you use your bot. If you want your bot to last for a long time, this is crucial. Certain brands, like the top picks of our rating, come with a an easily washable tank that is removable, to remove dirt water and allow the tank to dry between cleaning sessions.

The majority of the latest mop-vacs we tested are compatible with an app that lets you save maps of your home and set up cleaning schedules or select cleaning options. This is a crucial feature to consider 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 app, you'll be able to manage the basic functions of the robot using a button on its dock or remote.

All the newer models that we've tested have the ability to clean dust and dirt on multiple surfaces. This is a huge improvement over the earlier versions of robot cleaners, which mainly passed a pad of water across the floor. These machines aren't designed to take on large spills. They have to be cleaned manually. They also cannot handle a lot of furniture and may get lost in rooms that have lots of things 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 instructions of the manufacturer to wash and remove the brushes that are located on the sides or on the bottom of certain newer bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). The majority of bots also have sensors that aid in navigation and avoid obstacles. It's important to wipe the sensors down every couple of cleaning cycles, especially where they're pressed against the floor.

While it is possible to add other cleaners (such as vinegar) to the tank of the robot however, we don't recommend it unless it has been suggested by the manufacturer. This can damage the robot and invalidate its warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot vacuum and mop combo has a dock that also doubles as a water tank, then you will need to clean it periodically. The dock is prone to collecting dust, grit and other debris, which must be cleared and cleaned when the mop is done. A majority of our choices have self-cleaning cycles that you can use the app or on the mop itself. This helps keep the tank clean and prevents mildew from developing.

The dock area which washes the pads must 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 instructions of the manufacturer between cleaning cycles. Hybrid vacuums with brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit are also affected. Every several cleaning cycles remove the brushes and clean them with the help of a rag or cloth.

Some of the most advanced robot vacuum-mop combos we've tested contain sensors that allow them to navigate floors and avoid obstacles, however it's still necessary to wipe down those sensor areas regularly. This will prevent dirt and grime from blocking the sensors and causing misjudgment.

While the majority of robot mop and vacuum units require a little work on an ongoing basis, they provide huge benefits for the busy homeowner. They can keep floors looking nice and reduce the need for heavy lifting, and give you the most valuable resource in the home- your free time.

While there are startups that are working to create better robot vacuum units but they have still a long way to go before they get to the level of our quality. We expect these machines to improve over time just as the previous robot vacuums did.

Brushes to be cleaned

Just like a vacuum cleaner it is important to maintain your mop and cleaning robot vacuum unit to ensure that it's working well. Wipe down sensors to aid in navigation clear and rinse the water tank, clean pet hair clogs from brushes Keep charge ports clean and replace the filter and rollers according to the recommendations of the manufacturer. These tips will make your robot vacuum and mop work efficiently for a long time.

Carolyn Forte, Executive Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab is responsible for evaluating and tests cleaning products in the Laboratory. This includes robot vacuums and mops. Her team has been testing and recommending products for more than 40 years.

Combinations of robot vacuums and mops are perfect for cleaning both dry debris (dust and dirt) and wet mess. (spills and staining) without the need to change machines. These multitaskers can help you save time and energy and are a great choice for those with a busy life.

Some robots are controlled by an app and include additional features. For instance, this model has an outline of our obstacle course which is a key selling feature. You can also utilize the app to schedule and modify cleaning robot mop and vacuum schedules, change mopping modes and check battery levels. Certain models have hands-free operation via voice such as the model that is compatible with Alexa.

If you decide to purchase a robot vacuum and mop make sure you choose models that have the features that are most important to you. While all models push a pad with water across floors, some models have scrubbers that can be used to clean grout, or a rotating brush roll for more intensive scrubbing. Certain models come with filters that can be changed or cleaned to eliminate odors.

Some mopping robots dispose of their dirty pads, and drop them into a base that empties into a waste drawer eliminating the need to wash the pads manually or refill the tank. Others, such as the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that you wash and dry between use. If you choose one with reusable pads, make sure you follow the instructions of the manufacturer on washing and drying them to ensure they look their best.
