Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

The majority of robot vacuums or mop models come with an app that lets you save maps of your home and set up 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.

To avoid the accumulation of bacteria, remove the pads and clean them (if it is safe) after each cleaning cycle. You should also clean the resting tray where they sit between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops come with pads that are soaked with cleaning solution and then move across the floor, either by scrubbing or brushing to get rid of the sticky spots and other marks. These pads need to 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 also have brushes on the sides and the bottom of the robot which need to be washed or rinsed after every few cleaning cycles.

The best automatic vacuum and mop 2-in-1 robot mop/vacuum combos are simple to use and come with features that cut down on the amount of maintenance required after cleaning. They include self-cleaning pads, docks, and automatic hoover emptying of the dustbin. This keeps your robot mopping again almost immediately following a cleaning cycle. If you want your robot to be in a position to navigate and avoid obstacles, try wiping down its sensors using a soft cloth or towel every few cycles. This will help get rid of dust that can interfere with sensors and lead to errors.

If you have carpets, make certain to select a mop that is compatible with them. Most robot mops are able to work on hard surfaces, but those that can also scrub or vacuum floors might need to be reprogrammed to recognize or avoid carpets. Certain robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping functions. This allows you to observe the areas your robot has cleaned, as well as the areas that it hasn't.

Most app-connected robot mops use sensors to guide them through the home and avoid obstacles, but they can sometimes be lost or confused. To ensure that your robot's navigation capabilities and obstacle-avoidance abilities are as effective as they can, update the mopping app on a regular basis with new software releases. We recommend testing the robot's performance at home by constructing an obstacle course for it to race through prior to purchasing it.

Most robot mops have two tanks, one for clean water and the other for dirty water. The dirty water tank must be filled and emptied regularly. The water tanks are easily removed from the base, making it easier to clean them and wash them with warm water and mild soap. The majority of models have an under-sink drip tray beneath the dirty tank to collect any liquid spilled. It is recommended to empty your drip tray after every cleaning cycle to prevent bacteria from developing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

Most robot vacuums and mop combos use a water tank to clean. Most manufacturers recommend cleaning this tank on a regular basis depending on the frequency you use your robot. If you want your bot to last a long time, this is important. Some brands, like the top choices in our rating are washable, removable tanks, allowing you to wash off the water that is dirty and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

Most of the newer mop-vacs we have tested can be used with an app that lets you save maps of your home, set cleaning schedules or select cleaning options. This is a feature we look for when choosing the right model, since it makes the process of setting up and using the robot cleaner a lot easier. If the robot you choose does not come with an app, it's still possible to control the essential functions of the robot using a button or remote.

The latest models we've tested are able to remove dust and dirt on multiple surfaces. This is a huge improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners which mostly pushed a pad of water across the floor. However, these machines are not designed to deal with big spills, which have to be cleaned by hand. They can't move furniture and can get lost in rooms with a lot of clutter.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove and wash the brushes that are located on the sides or on the bottom of some newer bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). Many bots also come with sensors that assist them in navigating floors and avoid obstacles. It's important to wipe the sensors down every few cleaning cycles, particularly if they are pressed up against the floor.

Additionally, although it is possible to pour other cleaners into your robot's tank (for instance, vinegar) We recommend against doing so unless the manufacturer recommends it. This can damage your robot and void its warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot mop and vacuum combo has a separate dock which doubles as a water tank, it will have to be cleaned on a regular basis. The dock can collect dirt, grit and other debris that must be cleaned out and removed once the mop has finished. A majority of our choices come with a self-cleaning feature that you can access via the app or on the mop. This keeps the tank clean and prevents mildew.

It is also important to clean the area of the dock where the pads are cleaned. If left wet, it can be slimy and smell. If your model comes with washable or disposable mop pads, be sure to wash them in accordance with manufacturer's instructions in between cleaning cycles. The same is true for hybrid vacuum models that use brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit. After each cleaning cycle, take the brushes off and clean them with a cloth or rag.

Some of the more advanced robot vacuums with mop vacuums and mops we've tested contain sensors that help them navigate floors and avoid obstacles, but it's still essential to clean down those sensor areas on a regular basis. This can prevent dirt and grime from blocking the sensors and causing misjudgment.

While most robot vacuums and mop machines require some work, they are a great alternative for busy homeowners. They can keep floors looking nice and reduce the need for heavy lifting, and give you the most valuable resource you have in the home- your free time.

There are a few companies trying to create better vacuum-mop robotics but they're far from our standard. We expect these machines to improve over time, just like all the previous robot vacuums have.

Brushes to be cleaned

Maintaining your robot's mop and vacuum is crucial, just like maintaining the vacuum cleaner. Wipe down sensors to improve navigation clean and empty the water tank, clean pet hair clogs from brushes, keep charge ports clean and replace filter and rollers as recommended by the manufacturer. These tips will help your robot vacuum and mop combo perform efficiently for a long 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 products and suggesting them for over forty years.

Robot vacuum and mop combos are ideal for dealing with dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet mess (spills and stains) in one clean-up session without having to switch machines. These multitaskers will help you save time and effort and are convenient for anyone with a busy life.

Certain robots require an app to function and have more features than others, for example, a the map this model designed of our obstacle course which is one of the main selling points. You can also utilize the app to schedule and modify cleaning sessions modify mopping settings and check the battery level. Some models allow hands-free operation via voice, such as the model that is compatible with Alexa.

If you decide to purchase a robot vacuum and mop combination make sure you choose models that have the features that are most important to you. While all models use pads with water over floors, some include a scrubber that can be used to clean grout or a rotating brush roll for more intensive scrub. Some models come with a filter that can be washed or replaced to lessen the smell.

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. Some, like the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that can be washed and dry between uses. If you decide to purchase one with pads that are reusable, make sure to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer on how to wash and dry them.
