Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

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

To prevent the accumulation of bacteria to prevent the build-up of bacteria, remove the pads and wash them (if it is safe) after each cleaning cycle. You'll also want to scrub down the resting tray where they sit between cleanings.

Preparation

A lot of robot mops have pads that contain a cleaning solution that pass over the floor to soften the marks and sticky spots by using scrubbing movements or brushes. These pads should be cleaned, removed (if they are washable) and dried between uses to avoid bacteria buildup and keep them from smelling bad. Some models also have brushes on the sides and bottom of the robot, that need to be washed and rinsed, or replaced every few cleaning cycles.

The best 2-in-1 robotic vacuum/mop combos are easy to operate and include features that cut down on post-cleaning maintenance. These include automatic vacuum cleaner dustbin emptying docks that self-clean and self-cleaning pads which ensure that your robot is ready to mop again almost immediately following a cleaning. If you want your robot's sensors to navigate and avoid obstacles, clean them using a soft towel or a cloth every few cycles. This will remove dust that can hinder sensors and cause mistakes.

If you have carpets in your home, be certain to select a mop that is compatible with them. Most robot mops work well on hard surfaces, however those that also scrub or vacuum floors may require reprogramming to recognize or avoid carpets. Certain robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping capabilities that give you a live map of your room so you can see exactly where your robot has cleaned and which areas it hasn't.

The majority of app-connected robot mop mops utilize sensors to guide them around the house and avoid obstacles, but they may sometimes get lost or confused. To ensure that your robot's ability to navigate and avoid obstacles are as effective as they can you should update the mopping application on a regular basis with new software updates. Before you purchase a robot, we suggest creating an obstacle course at your home to check its performance.

The majority of robot mops have two tanks one for clean water and one for dirty water. The dirty tank has to be filled and empty regularly. The tanks can be lifted from the base, making it easier to clean and rinse them with mild soap and warm water. Most models come with an under-sink drip tray beneath the tank that collects any liquid spilled. It is recommended that you empty your drip tray every cleaning cycle to prevent bacterial from growing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mops and vacuum mop cleaner robot/mop combination devices use a tank of water for cleaning. Most manufacturers recommend cleaning this tank on a regular basis dependent on how often you use your robot. If you want your bot to last for a long time, this is essential. Some brands, like the top choices in our rankings, have removable, washable tanks so you can remove the soiled water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

The majority of the latest mop-vacs we tested can be used with an app that allows you to save maps of your home and set up cleaning schedules or select cleaning options. This is an important feature to consider when choosing a robotic cleaner. It makes the process of setting it up and using it much easier. If the robot you select does not come with an app, it is still possible to control the basic functions of the robot using a button or remote.

The latest models we've reviewed can vacuum up dust and dirt from various surfaces this is a significant improvement over earlier versions of robot cleaners that mostly just pushed a pad filled with water across the floor. These machines are not meant to deal with large spills. They must be cleaned manually. They aren't able to move furniture and can get lost in rooms with lots of clutter.

Some of the latest bots have brushes on the sides and bottom that can be removed and washed So, be certain to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to do this (typically using you'll need a damp microfiber cloth). Sensors are also used by most bots to navigate around the floor and avoid obstacles. It is essential to clean the sensors every few cleaning cycles, especially where they are pressed up against the floor.

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 approved by the manufacturer. This could damage your robot and could void the warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot mop and vacuum has a separate dock which doubles as a water tank, it will need to be cleaned periodically. The dock can collect grit, dust and debris, which needs to be removed and cleaned when the mop has been cleaned. A majority of our choices have an auto-cleaning cycle that you can run using the app or a button on the mop itself. This keeps the tank clean and also prevents mildew.

It is also important to wash the area of the dock in which the pads are cleaned. If the area is left wet, it may become slimy and even smell. If your model has disposable or washable mop pads ensure you're washing them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions between cleaning cycles. Hybrid mop/vacuum units that have brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit are also affected. Remove the brushes and clean them with a rag or cloth after each cleaning cycle.

It's important to clean the sensor areas of some of the more sophisticated robot vacuums we've test. They have sensors that allow you to navigate floors and stay clear of obstructions. This can keep dust and grime from blocking the sensors and causing inaccurate readings.

While most robot mop and vacuum cleaners require a little bit of work on an ongoing basis, they provide huge advantages for busy homeowners. They can keep floors looking great and eliminate the necessity for heavy lifting, and save you the most valuable resource you have in the homeyour time.

There are a few companies working to create better vacuum-mop robotics but they're quite a ways from our level of quality. However, we expect these machines to improve over time, just like all other robot vacuums have in the past.

Cleaning the Brushes

Maintaining your robot vacuum and mop is crucial, just like maintaining your vacuum cleaner. Clean sensors to aid in navigation, empty and rinse the water tank, clean pet hair clogs from brushes, keep charge ports clean and replace the filter and rollers as suggested by 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 including robot vacuum-mop combos. Her team has been testing and suggesting products for more than 40 years.

Robot automatic vacuum cleaner and mop combos are great for cleaning both dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet mess (spills or staining) in one clean-up session without having to switch machines. These multitaskers are great at making it easier to save time and effort. They're also great for those with a busy schedule.

Certain robots require an app to operate and offer more features than others, like the map this model designed of our obstacle course which is one of the main selling points. You can also use the app to schedule and modify cleaning schedules as well as change mopping modes and check the battery level. 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 one that has the features that are important to you. While all models push a pad with water across floors, some models have a scrubber that can be used to clean grout or a rotating brush roll to provide more intensive scrubs. Some models have a filter which can be cleaned or replaced in order to reduce smells.

Some mopping robots drop their dirty pads onto a base which automatically empties them into a garbage bin, removing the need to manually clean the pads or refill the tank. Certain mopping machines, like the Noesis Florio have reusable pads you can wash and dry between uses. If you choose the model with reusable pads, be sure you read the manufacturer's instructions for washing and drying them to keep them looking their best.
