A cleaning log within the app tracks each time the device is in a space and the amount of floor space it covers. This is an excellent way to know whether your floors require more thorough cleaning or to track any dust buildup in a particular area.
In general the majority of robotic mopping devices require some degree of maintenance to ensure they are running at their best. This means checking regularly the roll of the brush and edge-cleaning brushes to ensure there's no hair or other debris that has been accumulated around them. Also, you'll need to clean the sensor and charging plate frequently by wiping off dust and dirt. You'll also need to wash or replace the cleaning pads, if they have them.
