Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum Combo

Most robot vacuums or mop cleaners have an app that allows you to save maps of your house as well as create cleaning schedules and select mopping mode. Certain models with dual spinning pads will also automatically return to their docks during cleaning to flush out dirty water and clean their brushes.

If your model is using reusable pads, remove them and wash them (if safe) each time you clean them to prevent the buildup of bacteria. You should also clean the tray that they rest on between cleanings.

Preparation

A lot of robot mops have pads that contain a cleaning solution that are pushed across the floor to soften the sticky marks and spots using scrubbing motions or brushes. To prevent bacteria from building up and to prevent them from smelling, the pads should be cleaned and removed between use (if they are washable). Some models also have brushes on the sides and the bottom of the robot which need to be washed and rinsed, or replaced every few cleaning cycles.

The best robot vacuum 2-in-1 robotic mop and vacuum combos are simple to operate and include features that reduce post-cleaning maintenance. They include automatic vacuum cleaner and mop emptying of the dustbin, self-cleaning pads and docks that help keep your robot ready to mop again almost immediately after a cleaning cycle. If you want your robot's sensors to be able to navigate around obstacles, clean them with a soft cloth or a cloth every few cycles. This will eliminate dust that could interfere with sensors and cause errors.

Select a robot mop compatible with carpets if you already have carpets. Most robot mops work well on hard surfaces, but those that also be used to scrub or vacuum floors may require reprogramming to avoid carpets. Certain robotic vacuum cleaners and mop cleaners have mapping features that can give you a real-time map of the room so you can track where the robot has cleaned and which areas it hasn't.

The majority of apps-connected robots mops utilize sensors to navigate through the house and avoid obstacles but can sometimes get confused or lost. It is important to update the mopping app frequently with new software releases to ensure that your robot has the best ability to navigate and avoid obstacles. Before you purchase a robot, we recommend creating an obstacle course in your home to test its capabilities.

Most robot mops have two tanks, one for clean water and the other for dirty water. The dirty water tank is required to be filled and empty frequently. The tanks can be lifted from the base which makes it easier to clean and wash them with mild soap and warm water. The majority of models have an under-sink drip tray beneath the tank that collects any liquid that spills. It is recommended that you empty your drip tray after every cleaning cycle to prevent bacteria from developing.

Cleaning the Water Tank

The majority of robot mops, vacuum/mop combinations and robot mops use a water reservoir for cleaning. Most manufacturers advise you to clean the tank frequently, dependent on the frequency you use your bot. If you want your bot to last for a long time, this is essential. Some brands, such as the top picks in our rating, come with a tanks that are washable and removable to remove dirt water and let the tank dry between cleaning sessions.

Most of the newer mop-vacs we tested are compatible with an app that lets you save your home's maps and set up cleaning schedules or select cleaning modes. This is a crucial feature to consider when choosing a robotic cleaner. It makes setting it up and using it much easier. If the robot you pick does not have an app, it is still possible to control the basic functions of the bot using the remote or button.

The latest models we've tested are able to remove dirt and dust on a variety of surfaces. This is a big improvement over the previous versions of robot cleaners which mainly passed water-filled pads across the floor. However they aren't designed to deal with big spills, which still need to be cleaned by hand. They can't move furniture, and they can become lost in rooms that have a lot of clutter.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to remove and wash the brushes on the bottom or sides of some newer bots (typically a damp microfiber towel). Many bots also have sensors that aid in navigation and avoid obstacles. To keep these sensors working well, it's helpful to wipe down the sensors every couple of cleaning cycles using a soft, clean cloth - especially the areas where the sensors are press-fit against the floor.

Finally, while it is possible to put other cleaners into your robot's tank (for instance vinegar, for example), we advise against doing this unless the manufacturer recommends it. This can damage the robot and Cleaning Robot Mop and Vacuum invalidate its warranty.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

If your mop and robot vacuum combination comes with a dock that also doubles as a water tank, you will need to clean it periodically. The dock is prone to collecting grit, dust and debris and needs to be removed and washed when the mop is done. A majority of our choices have self-cleaning cycles that which you can control with the app or on the mop itself. This keeps the tank in good condition and helps prevent mildew.

It is also essential to wash the area of the dock where the pads are washed. If the dock is left wet, it could be slimy and smell. If your model uses disposable or washable mop pads ensure you're washing them in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning cycles. Hybrid mop/vacuum units that have brushes on the sides and bottom of the unit are also affected. Take the brushes out and clean them using a cloth or rag after each cleaning cycle.

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 important to wipe the sensor areas clean regularly. This can keep dirt and grime from obstructing the sensors and leading to misjudgment.

While most robot vacuums and mop systems require some work they are an excellent option for busy homeowners. They can keep floors looking nice and eliminate the necessity for heavy lifting, and give you the most valuable resource you have in the homeyour time.

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

Brushes to be cleaned

Like vacuum cleaners is essential to maintain your mop and cleaning robot vacuum combination to ensure it is functioning properly. Clean the sensors to improve navigation. Empty and rinse the water tanks, remove hairs from the brushes, clean the charge ports, and replace the rollers and filter in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. These tips will make your robot vacuum and mop combo perform efficiently for a long time.

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

Combinations of robot vacuums and mops work for cleaning dry debris (dust and dirt) and wet messes. (spills and staining) without changing machines. These multitaskers will save you time and effort and are a great choice for those who lives a full schedule.

Certain robots are operated via an app and come with additional features. For instance this model features an obstacle course map that shows our course which is a key selling feature. You can also schedule and alter cleaning sessions using the app, switch mopping mode, and check battery level. Others offer voice activation, such as this model, which works with Alexa, for hands-free control.

If you decide to purchase a robot vacuum and mop combination make sure you choose models that have the features that are important to you. While all models use a pad of water over floors, some models have scrubbers that can be used to clean grout, or rotating brushes to provide more intensive scrubbing. Some models have filters that can be washed or replaced to eliminate odors.

Some mopping robots dispose of their dirty pads and drop them into a base that emptys into a garbage drawer making it unnecessary 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 decide to purchase one with pads that are reusable, make sure to read the instructions of the manufacturer on how to wash and dry them.
