Sealed, oiled or waxed

The surface structure determines moisture tolerance. Sealed parquet is usually more robot-friendly; Oiled or waxed surfaces may require special care products and very little water.

Avoid scratches

Regularly check the wheels, side brush and underside for sand or small stones. A clean robot is more important on sensitive floors than a particularly high Pa rating.

Start with little water

Start in an inconspicuous area and with a small amount of water. After driving, check whether moisture remains in the joints or whether streaks appear.

Limits this selection

  • Standing moisture can put a strain on joints and damaged seals.
  • Trapped sand can cause scratches.
  • Manufacturer approvals of the floor take precedence over general recommendations.
