Use the Rubber Mat As a Ramp for Your Robot Cleaner
Robotic vacuum cleaners are convenient and practical: with proper maintenance and care , they save you valuable time, are easy to store and charge, and are much more practical than large vacuum cleaners for people with limited storage space. However, no matter how good they are, robotic vacuum cleaners also have some drawbacks. For example, they may have difficulty moving from room to room if they bump into saddles or ledges in a doorway. Fortunately, this is easy to fix.
Use a rubber mat to move the robot cleaner from room to room.
Some people recommend using rubber mats to connect your rooms so that the vacuum cleaner can easily fit through doorways. According to the Daily Mail , one Australian from the private Facebook group “Moms Who Clean” swears by her rubber mat, which she bought for about $24. You can get your own version for about $31 at Home Depot .
Before turning on the vacuum cleaner, lay it smoothly across a doorway so the device can slide over any ledge or ledge on the floor and reach the next room without having to pick it up and put it there – or rescue it when it’s stuck.

For maximum cleaning of your little robot, you need to make sure that there is nothing on the floor that it can accidentally suck up, such as nails, paper clips or scraps of paper – it is not equipped for this. If it uses an optical sensor, try scheduling floor cleaning at a time when there is light in the rooms you want to do. Be extra careful, it doesn’t suck up water or liquid either, so if it’s heading into a damp bathroom or you’ve dropped ice on the kitchen floor earlier, intervene before it hits anything wet. Also, don’t forget to roll up your fringe rugs before your session – don’t even try to risk it .
Here are some general recommendations about what not to vacuum that apply to robot vacuums as well.
