Decorating debris can include fine building dust, screws and wet paint that a household robot is not designed to handle. Protect it until the main cleanup is finished.

A practical checklist
- Keep the robot and dock away from active work and cover them appropriately while unused.
- Use suitable equipment for construction dust and sharp debris.
- Inspect the floor carefully before returning to normal household cleaning.
What this looks like at home
Sanding filler can produce dust far finer and more concentrated than an ordinary daily vacuum load.
Handle unusual debris before the normal clean
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Bulk cleanup | Use appropriate manual or specialist tools first. |
| Local run | Keep the robot to suitable dry household debris. |
| Afterwards | Check wheels, brush, intake and bin. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not treat a domestic robot as a workshop or plaster-dust extractor.
