Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

The majority of robot vacuums and mops come with an app that lets you save maps of your home, create cleaning schedules and choose mopping modes. Some models with dual rotating pads also return to the dock to clean their brushes and dump dirty water.

To prevent bacteria accumulation to prevent the build-up of bacteria, remove the pads and wash them (if it is safe) after each cleaning cycle. You should also clean the tray that they are sitting on between cleanings.

Preparation

Many robot mops utilize pads with a cleaner that pass over the floor to soften sticky spots and other marks using scrubbing motions or a brush. 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 also have brushes on the sides and bottom of the robot, that need to be washed or rinsed after every 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 required after cleaning. They include self-cleaning pads, docks and automatic dustbin emptying. This keeps your robot mopping almost immediately after cleaning. If you want your robot's sensors to be able to navigate around obstacles, clean them with a soft cloth or cloth every couple of cycles. This will get rid of dust that can block sensors and lead to errors.

If you have carpets in your home, be certain to select a mop that is compatible with them. Most robot mops are able to work on hard surfaces, however those that can also vacuum or scrub floors may require reprogramming to recognize carpets or avoid them. Some robotic mop/vacuum cleaners have mapping capabilities that give you a real-time map of the room so you can track where your robot has cleaned and what areas it hasn't.

The majority of app-connected robot mop use sensors to navigate through the house and avoid obstacles, however, they can be lost or confused. It is important to update the mopping app frequently with the latest software releases to ensure that your robot has the best automatic vacuum cleaner navigation and obstacle-avoidance abilities. Before you purchase a robot vacuums with mop, we recommend creating an obstacle course at home to check its performance.

Most robot mops have two tanks, one for clean water and the other for dirty water. The tank that is dirty needs to be emptied and filled regularly. The tanks can be lifted from the base, making it easier to clean and rinse them with mild soap and warm water. The majority of models have drip tray which is placed under the water tank that is dirty to collect any liquid spilled. It's recommended that you empty the drip tray after each cleaning cycle to reduce the risk of bacteria growth.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mops, vacuum/mop combinations and robot mops use an water reservoir to clean. The majority of manufacturers recommend that you keep the tank clean according to the frequency you use your robot. If you want your bot to last for a long time, this is essential. Some brands, including the top picks of our rating, come with a removable, washable tank so that you can wash away dirty water and allow the tank to dry between cleaning sessions.

Most of the mop-vacs we tested have an app which allows you to save your home's maps and organize cleaning schedules or choose cleaning modes. This is a feature we look for when deciding on the right model, since it makes setting up and operating your robot cleaner much simpler. If the robot you select does not come with an app, it is still possible to control the fundamental functions of the robot with a button or remote.

All of the latest models we've reviewed can vacuum up dust and dirt from many surfaces, which is a huge improvement over earlier versions of robot cleaners that largely simply pushed a pad of water across the floor. They aren't made to deal with large spills. They must be cleaned manually. They also can't handle large furniture pieces and can get confused in rooms with lots of clutter on the floor, so be sure to straighten up the area prior to mopping it to ensure that the machine is able to move around it easily.

Some of the latest bots have brushes on the sides and the bottom which can be cleaned and removed 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 to aid in navigation and avoid obstacles. To keep these sensors working properly, it's recommended to clean the sensors every few cleaning cycles using a soft clean cloth, especially the areas where the sensors are pressed against the floor.

In addition, it is possible to put other cleaners into your robot's tank (for instance, vinegar) We do not recommend using them unless the manufacturer recommends it. This could cause damage to your robot and void the warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your robot vacuum and mop combination comes with docks that double as a water tank, then you will have to keep it clean regularly. The dock can accumulate dirt, grit and debris that will need to be cleaned and removed when the mop is done. A majority of our choices include a self-cleaning function which you can access through the app or on the mop. This helps keep the tank clean and prevents mildew.

The area of the dock that washes the pads also needs to be washed periodically -- it can get slimy and smell unpleasant when left wet for a long time. If your model uses disposable or washable mop pads make sure you are washing them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions between cleaning cycles. The same goes for models with a hybrid mop/vacuum that use brushes on the bottom and sides of the unit. Clean the brushes and clean them using a cloth or rag after each cleaning cycle.

It is essential to clean the sensor areas of a few of the more sophisticated robot mop vacuum combos we've tried. They have sensors that allow you to navigate floors and stay clear of obstructions. This will keep dust and grime blocking the sensors, which can cause them to make incorrect judgments.

Although most robot vacuums and mop systems require some effort, they are a great alternative for busy homeowners. They can keep floors looking great and reduce the necessity for heavy lifting, and help you save the most valuable resource in the home- your free time.

While there are a few new companies that are trying to develop better robot vacuum-mop units, they still have still a long way to go before they get to our standard of quality. We expect these robots that vacuum and mop will improve over time just as all previous robot vacuums did.

Brushes to be cleaned

Maintaining your robot's vacuum and mop is important, just like maintaining your vacuum cleaner. Clean sensors to improve navigation, empty and rinse the water tank, remove pet hair clogs that block brushes Keep charge ports clean and change the rollers and filter as suggested by the manufacturer. These tips will make your robot vacuum and mop perform efficiently for an extended period of time.

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

Combinations of robot vacuums and mops are ideal for cleaning dry debris (dust and dirt) and wet mess. (spills and staining) without changing machines. Multitaskers can help you save time and effort and are a great choice for those who lives a full schedule.

Certain robots are operated via an app and have more features. For instance, this model has an obstacle course map that shows our course which is a major selling point. You can also plan and modify cleaning sessions by using the app, alter mopping mode, and determine the battery's level. Some models also provide voice activation, for instance this model that works with Alexa to allow hands-free control.

If you are considering purchasing a robot vacuum and mop combo, look for one that has the features that are most important to you. While all models use a pad of water over floors, some include a scrubber that can be used to clean grout or rotating brushes for more intense scrubs. Some models have a filter which can be cleaned or replaced in order to lessen smells.

Some mopping robots dispose of their dirty pads and place them into a base that empties into a waste drawer making it unnecessary to manually wash the pads or refill the tank. Some mopping robots, such as the Noesis Florio have reusable pads you can wash and dry in between uses. If you opt for a model with pads that can be reused, make sure to read the manufacturer's instructions on how to wash and dry them.
