Using Your Braava jet® m6 Robot Mop
Cleaning
Use your robot frequently to maintain well-conditioned floors.
-
Your robot will automatically explore and clean your home, moving in a methodical manner across the floor, with some overlap from one pass to the next to ensure that every spot on the floor is cleaned three times. If you are looking for a quicker clean or a deeper clean than this default setting, or if you want to adjust the amount of water sprayed, you can change your cleaning preferences from the iRobot HOME App.
-
Your robot will return to the charging station at the end of a cleaning job, whenever it needs to recharge, or when the tank needs to be refilled.
Note: If the “CLEAN” text is pulsing while charging, your robot is in the middle of a cleaning job and will automatically resume where it left off once recharged. -
To send the robot back to its charging station, tap (home). A blue light ring pattern will indicate that the robot is seeking the charging station. This feature will only work if your robot started the job from the charging station.
-
When the robot senses its tank needs to be filled, the light ring indicator will illuminate in a red sweeping motion toward the lid latch.
-
Clean smaller designated areas (3.3 ft2 /1 m2) by placing your robot at the bottom center of the space you’d like to focus on. Tap (spot clean) to start cleaning.
Tips for Optimizing Performance
- Your robot works best when used with the iRobot HOME App.
- For optimal mopping performance, we recommend that you vacuum first to pick up large dirt and debris before running Braava jet®.
- Your robot will only run with Braava jet® m Series pads, which are made specifically for Braava jet® m Series robots.
- Use a new pad for each cleaning job, and do not pre-wet the pads prior to use.
- Keep your charging station plugged in and the area around it clear of clutter.
- You can use a Dual Mode Virtual Wall® Barrier to help keep your robot in places you want to be cleaned, and out of the ones you don’t. (Sold separately)
- Within the iRobot HOME App, you can adjust cleaning preferences to modify cleaning power, speed, and coverage.
Charging
-
Slide your robot onto the charging station contacts to activate the battery.
Note: Your robot comes with a partial charge, but we recommend that you charge the robot for 3 hours prior to starting the first cleaning job. -
The light ring indicator will show the current charging status. This will turn off after 1 minute to save power, but can be shown again if you press CLEAN. This can also been seen in the iRobot HOME App.
-
Your robot uses a small amount of power whenever it is on the charging station. You can put the robot in a further-reduced power state when not in use. For instructions and more details on this Reduced Power Standby Mode, refer to the iRobot HOME App.
-
For long-term storage, turn off your robot by removing it from the charging station and holding down (home) for 10 seconds. Store your robot in a cool, dry place.
Lithium Ion Battery
For best results, only use the iRobot Lithium Ion Battery that comes with your Braava jet® m6.

FAQs
How effective is robot mop?****
In all honesty, no. A robot mop will never be able to clean as effectively as you and your old upright vacuum, just like a robot vacuum will never be able to. A robot vacuum/mop combination will make your life easier and reduce how frequently you need to mop manually, but it won’t completely replace hard work.
Can I use vinegar and water in iRobot mop?****
As vinegar can harm the robot’s internal mechanisms, it is not permitted to use it as a cleaning agent in any Braava product.
Can robot vacuum mop at the same time?****
To use the SpinWave as both a vacuum and a mop, you’ll need to switch out the tanks (the robot comes with a dry tank for vacuuming and a wet tank for mopping). You cannot simultaneously perform both as you can with some more expensive ones (though it does pick up some solid debris while mopping).
Can you put cleaning solution in robot mop?****
We advise against using a disinfectant cleaner in a robot mop based on experience. It would be best to only add water to your robot mop if the cleaning solution wasn’t already included.
Do cleaning robots use a lot of electricity?****
Robotic vacuum cleaners consume less electricity per hour than manual vacuums, which is why they are referred to as “energy-saving” equipment.
Can I put soap in robot mop?****
Your robot mop shouldn’t have any extra parts added, either. If your robot mop comes with a cleaning solution, you can follow the instructions that came with your device to combine it with water inside the tank. Any deviation from these guidelines could result in internal robot mop component damage.
What liquid goes in iRobot mop?****
Inside our Braava jet® Robot Mop Models, it is advised to use water and the Braava jet® Hard Floor Cleaning Solution. Two (2) Capfuls of cleaning solution mixed with water for the Braava Jet® 240.
How often do you use a robot mop?****
The most advised timetable will prevent you from prematurely wearing out your smart mop and is weekly or biweekly. The majority of robot mops can be anticipated to survive between four and six years with regular maintenance, however they will ultimately need to be repaired and replaced.
Can I use my robot vacuum everyday?****
The majority of owners think that vacuuming the floors with their robot vacuums four times per week is enough to keep the floors free of dust. However, you should use your robot vacuum more frequently if you have kids or pets. You should vacuum every day if you have seasonal allergies.
Does the robot mop avoid carpet?****
It rarely gets stuck and can detect and automatically avoid carpets.
How do you clean robot mop pads?****
Air drying and hand cleaning are advised. When washing clothes in a machine, use the warm cycle and let them air dry.
Can I put soap in robot vacuum?****
It is not advised that you fill the vacuum tank with anything other than water. The tank was created by the maker of Dreame robot vacuums to hold a neutral solution, like water. The tank will corrode internally as a result of the acidic antibacterial cleaners, eventually developing holes that will let water leak into the mortar.
Can you use water in iRobot mop?****
It is not advised to use anything other than water to fill the vacuum tank. The tank was designed by the company that makes Dreame robot vacuums to store an impartial substance, such as water. The acidic antibacterial cleaners will cause the tank to corrode internally, eventually developing holes that will allow water to flow into the mortar.
Can you put bleach in iRobot mop?****
Water, Bona floor cleaning, and Clorox Ready Mop are permitted for use with the Braava, according to iRobot. Bona is what I use, and it works great. It is not advisable to use anything soapy, waxy, or harsh (such as bleach or ammonia).
Can you put any cleaner in iRobot?****
No, iRobot does not advise using any other cleaning solution other the one they give. You have two options for the cleaning agent: water and iRobot’s.
Can I use vinegar in my robot mop?****
Because the vinegar gradually eats away at the adhesive holding the wheel tread to the wheels, iRobot does not advise it.
