So, you've heard of robot vacuums...but did you know there's such a thing as robot mops, too? Nope, this isn't a sci-fi fantasy: These tiny-but-mighty cleaners will help you keep your floors sparklier than ever. There are three types of robot mops to choose from: wet mops, dry-sweep and mop combos, and mop-and-vacuum combos. Each does what its title suggests: A wet mop squirts water onto the floor, softening and loosening dirt before wiping it up, while combo mops tend to use wet, reusable microfiber pads to clean hardwood floors. You'll also want to check out the mop's battery life, and, depending on your home, you might check out whether it has floor and carpet sensors. Mopping up your carpet is probably not quite what you have in mind.
Of course, we never said you could throw away your mops, buckets, cordless vacuums, and homemade cleaning solutions for good. ?? These mops won't be able to give you a full deep clean, but you'll likely be able to skip far more of your own cleaning sessions. They're perfect for anyone who hates lugging out their full-sized mop on a regular basis, including Ree Drummond who has admitted that her own weekly deep cleaning means that her family has "one day a week where the house sparkles…instead of zero."
Ahead, find our top picks for the most efficient, hardworking robot mops in 2022. Get shopping, and let your new favorite appliance get to work! Spring cleaning just got way, way easier.
