Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum ComboMost robot vacuums and mops pair with an app that lets you save maps of your home, create cleaning schedules, and choose mopping modes. Certain models with dual rotating pads also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dispose of dirty water.To prevent bacteria accumulation To prevent the accumulation of bacteria, take them off and clean them (if it's safe) after each cleaning cycle. You'll also want to clean the tray in which they rest between cleanings.PreparationMany robot mops come with pads that are soaked with cleaning solution and then move across the floor, either by scrubbing or brushing to remove sticky spots and other marks. These pads should be removed, washed (if they can be washed) and dried between uses to prevent bacteria buildup and keep them from smelling unpleasant. Some models have brushes on the bottom and sides of the robot that also need to be washed, rinsed or replaced after a few cleaning cycles.The best 2-in-1 robot mop/vacuum combos are simple to use and come with features that decrease the amount of maintenance needed after cleaning. These include automatic dustbin emptying docks, self-cleaning pads, and self-cleaning pads that help keep your robot ready to mop immediately following a cleaning. If you want your robot's sensors to be able to navigate around obstacles, clean them using a soft towel or cloth every couple of cycles. This will help get rid of dust that could block sensors and cause mistakes.Select a robot mop suitable for carpets if have carpets. Robotic mops that are able to clean or vacuum floors will need to be reprogrammed to avoid carpets. Certain robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping capabilities that give you a real-time map of your room so you can see where the robot has cleaned and what areas it hasn't.Most robots with apps use sensors to guide them through the home and avoid obstacles, but they can sometimes be lost or confused. Make sure to update the mopping application regularly with new software releases to ensure your robot has the best navigation and obstacle-avoidance abilities. We suggest testing a robot's capabilities in your own home by constructing an obstacle course to race through prior to purchasing it.The majority of robot mops have two tanks, one for clean water and the second for dirty water. The tank that is dirty has to be emptied and filled regularly. The water tanks can be lifted from the base and made easier to clean and rinse them with mild soap and warm water. Most models have a drip tray that sits beneath the dirty water tank to collect any liquid spilled. It's recommended that you empty the drip tray after every cleaning cycle to lower the chance of bacterial growth.Cleaning the Water TankMost robot vacuums and mop combos use a water tank for cleaning. The majority of manufacturers recommend that you clean the tank frequently, depending on the frequency you use your bot. This is essential for bots that you want last for a long time. Some brands, including the top choices of our reviews, have a an easily washable tank that is removable, so you can remove dirty water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.Most of the mop-vacs we tested come with an app that allows you to save your home's maps as well as organize cleaning schedules or choose cleaning modes. This is a feature we look for when deciding on the best model, because it makes setting up and operating your robot cleaner much simpler. If the robot you choose doesn't have an app, it is still possible to control the basic functions of the bot using buttons or a remote.The latest models we've tested are able to remove dust and dirt on multiple surfaces. This is an enormous improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners, which mostly pushed water pads across the floor. However they're not designed to handle huge spills, which have to be cleaned manually. They can't move furniture and can get lost in rooms with lots of clutter.Some of the latest bots come with brushes on the sides and the bottom which can be removed and washed Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to do this (typically using use a damp microfiber cloth). The majority of bots also come with sensors that assist them in navigating floors 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 those areas where the sensors are pressed against the floor.Finally, while it is possible to pour other cleaners into your robot's tank (for instance, vinegar), we advise against doing this unless the manufacturer suggests it. This can damage the robot and may void its warranty.Cleaning the Drip TrayIf your robot mop and vacuum combo comes with a dock which doubles as a water tank, it's going to need to be cleaned on a regular basis. The dock can collect dirt, grit and debris that needs to be cleaned out and removed once the mop is finished. automated vacuum of our options include a self-cleaning function that you can use via the app or the button on the mop. This helps keep the tank clean and prevents mildew.The dock's area which washes the pads should be cleaned periodically -it could become slimy or even smell bad when left wet for too long. If your model comes with disposable or washable mop pads, be sure to wash them in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer between cleaning cycles. Hybrid mop/vacuum units that have brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit are also affected. After every cleaning cycle, take the brushes off and clean them with a cloth or rag.It's essential to clean the sensor areas of some of the more advanced robot mop-vacuum combos that we've tried. They are equipped with sensors that allow you to navigate floors and avoid obstructions. This will keep dirt and grime from blocking sensors, causing them make faulty judgments.While most robot mop and vacuums require a bit of work on every day basis, they can provide significant advantages for busy homeowners. They can keep your floors looking beautiful and reduce the need for heavy lifts. They also save time which is the most valuable resource at home.There are a few companies working to create better vacuum-mop robotics, but they are still quite a ways from our standard. However, we expect these machines to improve in time, just as all other robot vacuums have in the past.Brushes to be cleanedMaintaining your robot's mop and vacuum is important, just like maintaining your vacuum cleaner. Wipe down sensors to aid in navigation clear and rinse the water tank, clean pet hair clogs off of brushes, keep charge ports clean and change the rollers and filter as suggested by the manufacturer. These steps will ensure that your robot mop and vacuum works efficiently 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, including robot vacuum-mop combos. Her team has been testing and suggesting them for over forty years.Combinations of mop and robot vacuum are great for cleaning dry debris (dust, dirt) and wet mess (spills, stains) in one cleaning session without the need to switch machines. These multitaskers are great at saving time and effort. They're also convenient for those with a busy schedule.Certain robots require an application to operate and offer more features than others, such as the map this model designed of our obstacle course which is one of the main selling points. You can also schedule and modify cleaning sessions by using the app, change mopping mode and check battery level. Some models also provide voice activation, such as this model that integrates with Alexa for hands-free control.If you are in the market for a robot mop or vacuum, ensure that it has the features you want. All models use a pad to sweep the floor, but some also have scrubbers for cleaning grout or a rotating brush for more intense scrub. Some have filters that can be washed or replaced to eliminate the smell.Some mopping robots discard 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. Some mopping robots, like the Noesis Florio have reusable pads that you can wash and dry in between uses. If you choose a model with reusable pads, make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions about drying and washing them in order to keep them looking the best.
