Long curtains can hang into the brush path or hide cables and furniture feet. Prepare the fabric before scheduling cleaning along the window wall.

A practical checklist

  1. Lift or secure trailing fabric in a way that does not damage it.
  2. Check for hidden leads and cords behind the curtain.
  3. Run a supervised edge clean and confirm the robot can return without pulling the fabric.

What this looks like at home

A curtain that clears the floor while tied back may trail into the route again when closed in the evening.

Make the route predictable

Check What matters
Floor-level objects Lift leads, strings and loose fabric.
Narrow gaps Check entry, turning and escape space.
Protected areas Use suitable boundaries around hazards.

A mistake to avoid

Do not let the robot pull blind cords or curtain fabric into its moving brush.
