What's a mopping robot and how does it work?

A mopping robot mops your floors, and you won't have to do a thing. But to what extent is the robot a substitute for the real thing? In this article, we'll tell you what a mopping robot is and what you can expect.

What's a mopping robot?

types of mopping robots

It's in the name. A mopping robot is a robot that mops. If you're looking for a little household helper, a mopping robot offers a solution. You can start the cleaning session via an app. You can do this remotely as well. For example, you can turn it on while you're still at the office. This way, you can relax on the couch in a mopped living room after a long day.

What can you expect from a mopping robot?

The cleaning performance of a robot vacuum differs per model. Keep in mind that it doesn't provide the same result as a traditional mop. A mop robot doesn't always remove stubborn stains properly. This doesn't mean that robot vacuums are useless. Robot vacuums are silent, systematic, and remove fine dust from your floor. So they're more than suitable as an extra aid. When choosing a robot vacuum, check the navigation method, cleaning route, and app compatibility. These specifications differ the most per model.

Navigation method, cleaning route, and compatibility with app

navigation method mopping robot

Navigation method

This indicates how the mopping robot navigates the area. The better the navigation method, the smaller the chance it skips parts. If the robot doesn't have a navigation method, it'll move randomly through the area. This isn't very efficient. If the robot has a laser, it can map the entire area. This is the best method. There are also other methods, such as the self-learning navigation method, the navigation method based on GPS, and the method based on ceiling recognition.

cleaning route

Cleaning route

The cleaning route says something about the way the mopping robot moves through the area. There are 2 different cleaning routes, namely systematic and random. If the robot works systematically, the chance it skips parts or mops them twice is much smaller than with the random cleaning route. This makes the systematic cleaning route much more efficient than the random one.

compatible with app

Compatibility with app

If the mopping robot has an accompanying app, this comes with some useful functions. In most cases, you can use the app to control the mopping robot remotely or with speech control, you can set a timetable, set the spaces where the robot isn't allowed to go, and keep track of the cleaning performance. You can also operate your mopping robot when you're not at home.

How does a mopping robot clean?

The mopping robot cleans your floor wet or dry by means of included pads. Is there a small layer of dust on the floor, but are you expecting guests tonight? In that case, a dry clean is sufficient. You usually also get a sample cleaning product the manufacturer recommends. If you want the robot to wet the floors, you combine the cleaning agent with the right amount of water in the tank. This ensures the robot cleans persistent stains easier.

If you want the robot to take over vacuuming as well as mopping, a robot vacuum with mopping function offers a solution. These robot vacuums have a water tank you can fill with a cleaning product and water. The robot vacuum mops the floor right after vacuuming it. Keep in mind that robot vacuums with a mopping function can't replace your vacuum and mop.
