Schbot robotic vacuum cleaners are our everyday helpers, and it's important to take good care of your robot to prolong its life. The robot can be easily serviced in the comfort of your own home, for more complex maintenance or questions you can always contact our specialists who can help you.

Primary care

The first thing to do when you buy a robot drill is to charge it properly. This is essential for its proper functioning. After the first use of the robot, the dust canister should be monitored, as it tends to fill up more than usual at first, as there may be more dirt than usual. For the first week, we recommend cleaning the dust collector every few days, and then at least once a week. If you have four-legged or long-legged family members, you should clean the robot at least twice a week.

Main stem

The main arm is the most important part of the robot. At least once a week, it needs attention to remove hair and other clutter. Cleaning it is very simple, just remove the main brush from the side of the robot. The robot vacuum cleaner also comes with a small knife, which makes maintenance very easy.

Side brushes

Side brushes should be cleaned a couple of times a week, or as needed. It certainly depends on how often you use the robot on a daily basis. When cleaning, longer hairs can be pulled off the side brushes very successfully, and if necessary the brushes can be removed from the robot for a more thorough cleaning.

If the bristles start to curl and are no longer as straight as before, you can straighten them by soaking them in hot water. This depends largely on how often the robot is used, and for very old side bristles, soaking in hot water will not help much.

Sensors

The robot has three wheels and sensors on each wheel, which could be serviced every few weeks. Taking care of the sensors is easy, just clean them with a brush or a microfibre cloth. If they get very dusty, the robot may not be able to sense the boundaries anymore, which could cause it to fall down the stairs, for example.

Wheels

Hair and animal hair accumulates between the wheels of the vacuum cleaner, so we recommend that you clean the wheels at least once a month. The smallest wheel, the front one, is removable and can be handled very well at home. You will need a wrapper or the end of a screwdriver to put it between the wheels and unscrew the wheel.
