Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

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

To prevent the accumulation of bacteria to prevent the build-up of bacteria, remove the pads and clean them (if it's safe) after each cleaning cycle. You should also clean the resting tray in which they rest between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops feature pads that are soaked with cleaning solution and pass over the floor, either brushing or scrubbing to remove sticky marks and other spots. The pads must be cleaned, removed (if they are washable) and dried between uses to avoid bacteria buildup and keep them from smelling unpleasant. Some models also have brushes on the sides and bottom of the robot, that need to be washed, rinsed or replaced after every few cleaning cycles.

The best robot vacuum 2-in-1 robotic mop/vacuum combos are simple to use and have features that cut down on cleaning maintenance after cleaning. These include automatic hoover emptying of the dustbin docks, self-cleaning pads, and self-cleaning pads that help keep your robot ready to mop again almost immediately following a cleaning. If you want your robot's sensors to be able to navigate around obstacles, clean them with a soft towel or cloth every couple of cycles. This will help get rid of dust that could block sensors and cause mistakes.

If you have carpets in your home, be sure to select a robot mop that is compatible with carpets. Robot mops that can scrub or vacuum floors need to 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 where your robot has cleaned and which areas it hasn't.

The majority of app-connected robot mops utilize sensors to navigate through the house and avoid obstacles, however, they can be lost or confused. Update the mopping app regularly with the latest software updates to ensure that your robot is equipped with the most effective ability to navigate and avoid obstacles. Before you buy a robot we suggest that you create an obstacle course at home to test its capabilities.

Most robot hoover and mop mops have two tanks. One for clean water and one for dirty water. The tank that is dirty has to be emptied and filled regularly. The water tanks can be easily removed from the base, making it easier to clean them and wash them with warm water and mild soap. Most models come with a drip tray under the dirty tank to collect any liquid spilled. It is recommended that you empty your drip tray after every cleaning cycle to stop bacteria from developing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mops, vacuum/mop combinations and robot mops use a water reservoir for cleaning. The majority of manufacturers recommend that you clean this tank regularly, dependent on the frequency you use your bot. If you want your bot to last a long time, this is important. Some brands, like the top picks in our rankings 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 your home's maps, set cleaning schedules or select cleaning modes. This is something we look for when deciding on a model, as it makes the process of setting up and using your robot cleaner much simpler. If the robot you pick does not come with an app, it's still possible to control the basic functions of the bot using a button or remote.

The latest models we've tested have the ability to clean dirt and dust from a variety of surfaces. This is a huge improvement over previous versions of robot cleaners, which mainly passed water-filled pads across the floor. However, these machines are not designed to handle huge spills, which still need to be cleaned manually. They are also not able to handle large furniture pieces and can get confused in rooms with lots of stuff on the floor, so make sure to straighten up the area prior to mopping to make sure the machine can move around it effectively.

Follow the instructions of the manufacturer to remove and wash the brushes that are on the bottom or sides of some newer bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). Most bots also have sensors to help them navigate floors and avoid obstacles. To ensure that the sensors function well, it's helpful to clean the sensors every few cleaning cycles using a soft clean cloth, especially the areas where the sensors are press-fit against the floor.

Additionally, although it is possible to add other cleaners into your robot's tank (for example vinegar or acetic acid) We do not recommend doing this unless the manufacturer suggests it. This could cause damage to the robot and can cause the warranty to be voided.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your mop and robot vacuum combo has docks that double as a water tank, you will have to keep it clean regularly. The dock can collect grit, dirt and debris that needs to be cleaned and removed when the mop has finished. Many of our picks have self-cleaning cycles that which you can control with the app or a button on the mop itself. This keeps the tank clean and prevents mildew from developing.

It is also important to clean the area of the dock where the pads are washed. If the dock is left wet, it could become slimy and even smell. If your model has disposable or washable mop pads ensure that you wash them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions between cleaning cycles. Hybrid mop/vacuum units that have brushes on the sides and bottom are also affected. After every cleaning cycle remove the brushes and clean them with an abrasive or a cloth.

Some of the more sophisticated robot vacuum-mop combinations we've tested have sensors that help them navigate floors and avoid obstacles, however it's still necessary to wipe off the sensor areas regularly. This will prevent dust and grime blocking the sensors, causing them make incorrect judgments.

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

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

Brushes to be cleaned

Maintaining your robot's mop and vacuum is essential, just as maintaining a vacuum cleaner. Wipe down sensors to improve navigation clear and rinse the water tank, clean pet hair clogs that block brushes Keep charge ports clean and replace filter and rollers as suggested by the manufacturer. These suggestions will ensure that your robot mop and vacuum combo works efficiently for a long period of time.

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

Robot vacuum and mop combos are great for cleaning both dry debris (dust dirt) and wet messes (spills, stains) in one cleaning session without the need to switch machines. These multitaskers are great at making it easier to save time and effort. They are also great for busy schedule.

Some robots are controlled by an app and include more features. For example, this model has a map of our obstacle course which is a major selling point. You can also use the app to schedule and alter cleaning sessions as well as change mopping modes and check the level of battery. Some models also provide voice activation, such as this model, which works with Alexa for hands-free control.

If you decide to purchase a robot vacuum and mop combo choose a model that has the features that are most important to you. While all models push pads with water over floors, some have scrubbers that can be used to clean grout or rotating brushes for more intensive scrub. Some have filters that can be washed or replaced to lessen odors.

Some mopping robots dump their dirty pads into an empty base that automatically dumps them into a waste bin, eliminating the need to manually wash the pads or refill the tank. Other models, such as the Noesis Florio, have reusable pads that can be washed and dry between usage. If you opt for a model that has pads that are reusable, make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to clean and dry them.
