We don’t know anyone who actually enjoys mopping the floor — especially when it comes to the grubbier places like the bathroom and kitchen. Lugging around buckets of water and a dirty mop while scrubbing the floors is truly an arduous task. But what if there was a little helper to do it for you? Enter the robot mop.
Similar to the robot vacuums we’ve been raving about recently, robot mops can help keep your home spick and span between deep cleans. There are three types of robot mops — wet mops, dry-sweep and mop combo; mop and vacuum combo. Wet mops spray water onto the floor in front of them while moving around to help remove dirt and grime before mopping up the liquid. Dry-sweep and mop combos sweep the floors before moving into mopping mode with damp disposable or reusable microfiber pads. And mop and vacuum combos do exactly what they say on the lid — vacuum then mop.
They also offer similar functional features as robo vacuums, including using sensors to map out your house and in-app scheduling. The accompanying apps also make it a breeze to set up and maintaining them couldn’t be easier —think of charging, filling and emptying the water tank, and removing or replacing the cleaning pads. If you’ve got timber floorboards, be sure to check that the robot mop is safe to use on the floor to avoid any scratches or marks.
