Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

The majority of robot vacuums and mop models come with an app which lets you save your home's maps and create cleaning schedules and then select mopping mode. Some models that have dual rotating pads will also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dispose of dirty water.

If your model uses pads that are reusable, take them off and wash them (if safe) every several cleaning cycles to prevent bacteria buildup. You should also clean the tray where they sit between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops have pads that are soaked with cleaning solution and pass over the floor, scrubbing or brushing to remove the sticky spots and other marks. To stop bacteria from building up and to prevent them from smelling, these pads must be cleaned and removed between usage (if they can be washed). Some models also have brushes on the sides and the bottom of the robot cleaner which must be cleaned, rinsed or replaced after every few cleaning cycles.

The best 2-in-1 robot mop/vacuum mop cleaner robot combos are easy-to-use and come with features that reduce the amount of maintenance required after cleaning. They include automatic hoover emptying of the dustbin 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 to be in a position to navigate and avoid obstacles, you should wipe down its sensors with towels or soft cloths every few cycles. This will get rid of dust that could hinder sensors and cause errors.

Select a robot mop that is compatible with carpets if you already have carpets. Robotic mops that are able to clean or vacuum floors will need to be reprogrammed so they can avoid carpets. Some robotic mop/vacuum cleaners have mapping features that can give you a live map of the room so you can see exactly where the robot has cleaned and which areas it hasn't.

Most app-connected robot mops use sensors to guide them through the house and avoid obstacles, but they may sometimes be lost or confused. To ensure that your robot's navigation capabilities and obstacle-avoidance abilities are as effective as they can and to ensure that the app is updated regularly with new software updates. Before purchasing a robot, we suggest creating an obstacle course at home to check its performance.

Most robot mops come with two tanks, one for clean and the other for dirty water. The tank for dirty water has to be emptied and filled regularly. The water tanks are easily removed from the base to make it easier to clean them and rinse them with warm water and mild soap. Most models come with a drip tray underneath the dirty tank to collect any liquid that spills. It is recommended that you empty your drip tray after every cleaning cycle to prevent bacteria from developing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

Most robot mops and vacuum/mop combos have a water tank to clean. The majority of manufacturers recommend that you keep the tank clean dependent on the frequency you use your robot. This is vital for bots that you want to last for many years. Some brands, including the top picks in our rating, come with a tanks that are washable and removable so that you can wash away dirty water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

Most of the newer mop-vacs we have tested are compatible with an app that allows you to save your home's maps as well as set cleaning schedules and select cleaning modes. This is a crucial feature to look out for when choosing a robotic cleaner. It makes the process of setting it up and operating it much simpler. If the model you choose doesn't come with 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.

All of the newer models we've tested can clean up dirt and dust on multiple surfaces, which is a huge improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners which mainly just pushed a pad filled with water across the floor. However they're not designed to handle huge spills, and they still need to be cleaned by hand. These machines can't move furniture, and they can become lost in rooms with lots of clutter.

Some modern bots have brushes on the sides and bottom that can be removed and washed So, be sure to follow the manufacturer's directions on how to do this (typically you'll need a damp microfiber cloth). Most bots also have sensors that help them navigate floors and avoid obstacles. It is essential to clean the sensors every few cleaning cycles, especially if they are pressed up against the floor.

Although 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 approved by the manufacturer. This could damage the robot and can void its warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot mop and vacuum has a dock on its own which doubles as a water tank, it will have to be cleaned on a regular basis. The dock may accumulate dirt, grit and debris that will need to be cleaned and removed after the mop is finished. A lot of our picks come with a self-cleaning cycle which you can control with the app or on the mop itself. This helps keep the tank clean and also prevents mildew.

It is also essential to wash the area around the dock where the pads are cleaned. If left wet, it can turn slimy and even smell. If your model has washable or disposable mop pads, be sure to wash them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions between cleaning cycles. Hybrid vacuums that have brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit are also affected. Remove the brushes and clean them using a cloth or rag after each cleaning cycle.

Some of the most sophisticated robot vacuum cleaner vacuum-mop combinations we've tested have sensors that aid in navigating floors and avoid obstacles, but it's still essential to clean down those sensor areas regularly. This will prevent dirt and grime from obstructing the sensors and leading to misjudgment.

While the majority of robot hoover mop and vacuum cleaners require a bit of work on every day basis, they can provide significant benefits for the busy homeowner. They can keep your floors looking great and reduce the need for lifting heavy objects. They also save you time which is the most valuable resource you have at home.

There are a few companies trying to develop better vacuum-mop machines however they are far from our level of quality. We expect these robots will improve over time just as all the previous robot vacuums have.

Cleaning the Brushes

Maintaining your robot's vacuum and mop is crucial, just like maintaining your vacuum cleaner. Clean the sensors to improve navigation. Empty and wash the water tanks, remove hairs from the brushes and charge ports, clean them and then replace the filter and rollers in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. These suggestions will ensure that your robot mop and vacuum is efficient 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 recommending products for more than 40 years.

Robot vacuums and mops are great for tackling dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet messes (spills, stains) all in one cleaning session without the need to switch machines. These multitaskers can save you time and effort and are ideal for those with a hectic schedule.

Certain robots require an application to operate and offer more features than others, such as the map this model made of our obstacle course which is a big selling point. You can also utilize the app to schedule and modify cleaning sessions, change mopping modes and check the level of battery. Some models allow hands-free operation via voice like the model that works with Alexa.

If you are in the market for a robot mop or vacuum, be sure it has the features you are looking for. While all models push a pad with water over floors, some include a scrubber that can be used to clean grout or rotating brushes to provide more intensive scrubbing. Some models come with a filter that can be washed or replaced to lessen the smell.

Some mopping machines dispose of their dirty pads and place them into a base that emptys into a garbage drawer, eliminating the need to wash the pads manually or refill the tank. Other models, such as the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that can be washed and dry between uses. If you choose one with pads that can be reused, make sure to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer on how to wash and dry them.
