Seasonal grit is easiest to manage before it spreads through the house. A short entrance routine can help when the debris is dry and suitable for the robot.
Table of Contents
A practical checklist
- Contain dirt with an entrance mat and remove coarse piles manually.
- Vacuum the entryway before mopping approved hard floors.
- Inspect wheels and brushes so abrasive particles are not carried onto delicate flooring.
What this looks like at home
Cleaning a small tiled porch area first can reduce what gets tracked onto the living-room boards.
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 run wet cleaning over sharp or heavily gritty debris.
