A tree changes the room layout and introduces lights, ornaments and fallen material. Update the cleaning route before leaving the normal schedule running.
Table of Contents
A practical checklist
- Raise light cables and keep ornaments clear of the brush path.
- Protect the tree stand and any water reservoir with an exclusion area.
- Check the dock approach has not been blocked by presents or furniture moves.
What this looks like at home
A robot can pull a low lighting cable long before it reaches the tree trunk.
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 rely on object recognition to protect fragile decorations or a water-filled tree stand.
