Choose solution by the robot model and the floor finish together. A product suitable for hand mopping is not automatically suitable for a robot's pumps, seals or dosing system.

A practical checklist

  1. Read the robot's approved-product and dilution instructions.
  2. Check the floor maker's chemical restrictions.
  3. Use plain water only where both sets of guidance permit it, and avoid mixing products.

What this looks like at home

A cleaner sold for stone floors may still be unsuitable for an automatic robot dispenser.

Keep clean water, dirty water and dry dust separate

Check What matters
Clean-water side Use the permitted water and solution method.
Dirty-water side Empty and clean the removable tank as directed.
Pads, roller and tray Inspect, clean and dry only as the manual allows.

A mistake to avoid

Never add bleach, essential oils, vinegar or foaming detergent without explicit manufacturer approval.
