Troubleshooting
Robot Vacuum Leaving Streaks When Mopping
Streaking usually comes down to a dirty pad, the wrong cleaning solution, or a floor that needed vacuuming first.
Vacuum before mopping
Mopping over debris the robot did not vacuum first just drags dirt around. Most combo robots vacuum and mop in the same pass, but confirm the vacuum step is actually enabled if you see streaks.
Check the mop pad
A pad that is not clean, or has gone stiff with dried detergent residue, will streak instead of clean. Wash pads regularly per your maintenance schedule.
Watch the cleaning solution
Using the wrong concentration or an unapproved cleaning solution in the water tank can leave a residue film. Stick to what the manufacturer recommends, or plain water if in doubt.
