Your kitchen is the heart of your home. It's where food is prepared and (often) consumed. Once a year deep cleaning the kitchen removes germs, bacteria, and allergens that can accumulate over time.
Sweep and Vacuum Thoroughly
Begin by clearing the kitchen of any loose dirt, crumbs, and debris. Use a robot vacuum cleaner that can sweep, vacuum, and mop simultaneously on its high setting to sweep up larger bits. This step is crucial to prevent dirt from getting ground into the floor during mopping. For best results, and before setting your robot up to sweep and vacuum the kitchen, make sure the brushes are clean.
Select the Right Cleaner
Choose a cleaning solution that is appropriate for your specific floor type. For example, use a pH-balanced cleaner for hardwood floors, while tile floors may benefit from a more robust degreaser. Always read the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid damaging the flooring. You can also make a natural cleaner using a mixture of vinegar and water, which is effective for many surfaces.
Mop with Care
Once you have the right cleaner, it’s time to let your bot mop the floors. Use a clean microfiber mop cloth, as these are effective at picking up dirt and grime. Fill the bot's water reservoir with your cleaning solution, then set the robot on medium to high intensity mopping mode. Check to make sure the floor is not soaking wet if you have hardwood floors and lower the mopping intensity if needed.
Spot Clean Stains
For stubborn stains, such as grease or food spills, apply a targeted cleaner directly to the affected area. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to break down the stain, then scrub gently with a soft-bristled brush or cloth. Rinse the area with clean water afterward to remove any residue from the cleaning product. If you prefer a natural approach, a paste made from baking soda and water can also work wonders for tough stains.
