Robot vacuum cleaners have become very popular as a convenient and time-saving tool, but many people wonder whether or not they can clean different floor types. The good news is that most robot vacuums designed today can navigate and clean a variation of surfaces such as tile, hard wood, laminate, and low- to medium-pile carpet. What robot vacuums typically can adapt to the floor type they encounter, while cleaning. They do this by using sensors to detect floor changes, adjustable suction levels, brush style, and brush rotation. In fact, some robot vacuums even boost suction when one encounters carpet for a more deep clean. However, the performance will depend on the type of robot vacuum one may choose to use, especially with high-pile rugs, or uneven floor surfaces. Ultimately, robot vacuum cleaners work well for daily cleaning but may not not eliminate one from doing deep cleaning, overall. Knowledge of your flooring types and flooring surfaces, along with a vacuum cleaner's features, may help to improve the overall cleaning results.
Maintenance Tips For Robot Vacuum Cleaners
Proper maintenance of your robot vacuum cleaner is important for its functionality and longevity. After each use, empty the dust bin, and make sure to clean the filters on a weekly basis (daily if the vacuum is silent). This will prevent clogs and maintain suction. Also regularly inspect and untangle the brushes and wheels, particularly if you have pets; pet hair accumulates quickly. In addition to these internal components, remember to regularly wipe down the sensors and charging contacts using a soft cloth in order to ensure accurate navigation and docking. The manufacturer recommends how often to replace the filters, brushes, and mop pads. Also ensure that the charging dock area is not obstructed with items. Regularly updating the software will help with functionality and fixing bugs.
