How Braava Cleans
Braava intelligently cleans your floor by mapping the room as it cleans.
Cleaning Cycle
•Braava cleans your home in sections, first cleaning areas to its right and later returning to areas to its left.
•When the open areas in each section are complete, Braava cleans along edges of furniture and walls before moving on.
•When finished, Braava returns to where it started and parks itself.
Cleaning Pattern
•In open areas, Braava methodically cleans back and forth across your floor.
•As Braava encounters chair legs, furniture and other obstacles, it cleans around them and continues its cleaning pattern.
• Braava detects stairs and will maneuver away from drop offs and back to the cleaning area.
As a safety precaution, open ledges or balconies with a drop of 2 feet or more should be blocked off with a physical barrier.
• Braava also detects area rugs and raised transitions to carpet so it can avoid driving on to them.
Note: If your carpet is flush with your hard surface floor, you may need to add a temporary barrier to provide Braava a boundary it can detect.
•Braava follows along walls and edges as it encounters them and as it completes each section it cleans.
