Scooba’s Cleaning Pattern

Scooba is a robot that cleans differently than the way most people clean their floors. Scooba uses iRobot’s AWARE™ Robot Intelligence System to determine the best way to pass over and clean every section of the floor.

In most cases, Scooba will pass over the same area of the floor multiple times to ensure a thorough cleaning. Scooba can clean rooms up to 200 square feet with a full tank, while larger rooms may require an additional cleaning cycle.

TIP: For smaller rooms, use less cleaning solution and water. Partially filling the tank will shorten Scooba’s cleaning time.

While Scooba is cleaning it calculates the best path to clean your floor and determines the best times to use its various cleaning behaviors:

Spiraling: Enables Scooba to efficiently clean a large area.

Wall Following: Enables Scooba to clean the room perimeter and navigate around furniture and obstacles.

Room Crossing: Enables Scooba to clean new areas while crisscrossing the room.

Scooba will alternate between spiraling, wall following, and room crossing during a cleaning cycle.

TIP: For best performance and floor coverage, clear your floor of chairs, clutter, and light rugs. Use a Virtual Wall to contain Scooba to one room.
