How to manage iRobot Roomba edge cleaning

 

Understanding Roomba Edge Cleaning

 

  • Edge cleaning is a feature in Roomba vacuums where the device specifically targets the edges of a room. This helps ensure that all dust and debris collected along walls and edges are picked up.
  •  

  • Some Roomba models automatically engage edge cleaning after completing the main cleaning process. It uses its sensors to navigate along walls and tight spaces.

 

Ways to Ensure Effective Edge Cleaning

 

  • Before starting your Roomba, ensure the flooring near the edges is clear of obstructions such as cords, toys, or furniture legs that can block the Roomba's path.
  •  

  • Keep the Roomba and its sensors clean. Wipe off any dust from the cliff sensors and side wheels as these can impact its ability to detect edges efficiently.
  •  

  • If your Roomba model allows, check and replace side brushes regularly. Worn out brushes can reduce cleaning effectiveness around edges.
  •  

  • Use Virtual Walls or Keep-Out Zones for areas where you don't want the Roomba to enter, ensuring it focuses on areas that require edge cleaning.

 

Addressing Roomba Edge Cleaning Problems

 

  • If the Roomba is missing edges or struggling to clean them efficiently, check the device's firmware for updates. Manufacturers often release updates that improve cleaning patterns.
  •  

  • If the Roomba keeps missing the edges in one specific area, verify if floor transitions are causing the problem. In some cases, uneven flooring or small steps can confuse the Roomba.
  •  

  • Contact iRobot support if the issue persists. They can guide you through more specific troubleshooting steps or replace faulty parts if necessary.
