Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

The majority of robot vacuums and mops come with an app which allows you to save maps of your home as well as create cleaning schedules and then select mopping mode. Certain models with dual rotating pads also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dispose of dirty water.

If your model has reusable pads, remove them and wash them (if safe) every several cleaning cycles to prevent the buildup of bacteria. Also, you should clean the tray that they sit on between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops utilize pads with a cleaner that slide across the floor to soften the marks and sticky spots using scrubbing motions or brushes. The pads must be cleaned, removed (if they can be washed) and dried between uses to avoid the buildup of bacteria and keep them from smelling bad. Some models have brushes on the sides and bottom of the robot. They also require to be cleaned, rinsed or replaced every couple of cleaning cycles.

The most effective 2-in-1 robot mop and vacuum combos are simple to use and have features that reduce cleaning maintenance after cleaning. These include automatic emptying of the dustbin, self-cleaning pads and docks which ensure that your robot is ready to mop immediately following a cleaning. If you want your robot to be in a position to navigate and avoid obstacles, try wiping down its sensors with towels or soft cloths every few cycles. This will get rid of dust that can interfere with sensors and cause errors.

If you have carpets in your home, be sure to select a robot mop that is compatible with them. Robot mops that can clean or vacuum mop cleaner robot floors must be reprogrammed so they can avoid carpets. Some robotic mop/vacuum cleaners have mapping features that can show you a live map of the room so you can see exactly where your robot has cleaned and which areas it hasn't.

Most robots with apps use sensors to help them navigate the home and steer clear of obstacles, but they may occasionally get lost or confused. Update the mopping app regularly with the latest software updates to ensure that your robot is equipped with the most effective navigation and obstacle-avoidance capabilities. Before you purchase a robot, we suggest that you create an obstacle course in 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 water tank needs to be emptied and filled regularly. The tanks can be lifted off the base which makes it easier to clean and rinse them with mild soap and warm water. The majority of models have drip tray that sits under the dirty water tank to collect any liquid spilled. It is recommended to empty the drip tray at the end of each cleaning cycle to reduce the chance of bacterial growth.

Cleaning the Water Tank

Most robot vacuums and mop combos use a water tank to wash. Most manufacturers advise you to clean the tank frequently, according to the frequency you use your bot. This is essential to ensure that your bots last for a long time. Some brands, like the top picks in our rankings are washable, removable tanks, allowing you to wash off the 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 maps of your home as well as set cleaning schedules and select cleaning modes. This is a crucial feature to look out for when choosing a robotic hoovers cleaner. It makes setting it up and using it much easier. If the model you choose doesn't come with an app, you'll be able to control the basics of the robot by pressing a button on its dock or via its remote.

All of the latest models we've tested can clean dust and dirt off multiple surfaces this is a significant improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners that mostly simply pushed a pad of water across the floor. They aren't made to handle large spills. They need to be cleaned manually. They also cannot handle a lot of furniture and may get lost in rooms with a lot of things on the floor, so be sure to straighten the area prior to mopping to ensure the machine can move around it effectively.

Some newer 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, a damp microfiber cloth). Sensors are also used by the majority of bots to navigate the floor and avoid obstacles. To ensure that the sensors function properly, it's recommended to wipe down the sensors after every few cleaning cycles using a soft, clean cloth - especially the areas where the sensors are press-fit against the floor.

It is possible to add other cleaners (such as vinegar) to the robot's tank We do not recommend it unless it's been approved by the manufacturer. This could damage the robot and can end the warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your mop and robot vacuum combination comes with docks that also double as water tank, you'll need to clean it regularly. The dock may accumulate dirt, grit and other debris that needs to be cleaned and removed when the mop is finished. Many of our options have a self-cleaning feature that you can access via the app or the button on the mop. This keeps the tank clean and helps to prevent mildew.

It is also essential to wash the area around the dock where the pads are washed. If the dock is left wet, it could turn slimy and even smell. If your model is equipped with washable or disposable mop pads, be sure to wash them in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer between cleaning cycles. Hybrid mop/vacuum units with brushes on the sides and bottom 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 a few of the more advanced robot mop-vacuum combos that we've test. They are equipped with sensors that help navigate floors and keep out obstructions. This can prevent dust and grime from blocking the sensors and causing inaccurate readings.

While most robot vacuums and mop systems require some effort they are an excellent option for busy homeowners. They can keep your floors looking great and reduce the need for heavy lifting. They also save time which is the most valuable resource at home.

There are a few companies trying to create better vacuum-mop robotics however they are quite a ways from the quality we have. But we do expect these robots to improve in time, just as all other robot vacuums in the past.

Brushes to be cleaned

Maintaining your robot vacuum and mop is important, just like maintaining your vacuum cleaner. Clean sensors to aid in navigation clean and empty the water tank, get rid of pet hair clogs that block brushes and charge ports, clean the ports and replace the filter and rollers as recommended by the manufacturer. These tips will help your best robot hoover vacuum and mop combination work efficiently for an extended period of time.

Carolyn Forte, Executive Director of the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab, evaluates and tests cleaning equipment in the Laboratory. This includes robot vacuum and mop combinations. Her team has been testing and recommending products for more than 40 years.

Robot vacuum and mop combos are great for cleaning both dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet messes (spills and staining) in one clean-up session without having to switch machines. These multitaskers can help you save time and energy and are ideal for those with a busy life.

Some robots are operated by an app and include additional features. For instance this model comes with a map of our obstacle course which is a key selling point. You can also schedule and modify cleaning sessions by using the app, alter mopping modes and check battery level. Other models provide voice activation, for instance this model, which works with Alexa for hands-free control.

If you choose to purchase a robot vacuum and mop combination make sure you choose one that has the features that are important to you. While all models pass a pad with water across floors, some include scrubbers that can be used to clean grout, or an inclined brush roll for more intense scrub. Some models have a filter that can be cleaned or replaced to reduce the smell.

Some mopping robots drop their dirty pads onto an empty base that automatically dumps them into a waste bin, removing the need to manually wash the pads or refill the tank. Some, like the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that you wash and dry between uses. If you choose a model with pads that are reusable, make sure to read the instructions provided by the manufacturer on how to wash and dry them.
