Which Detergent should you use in a Robot Vacuum Cleaner? A Guide to choosing and using the right product
For a floor cleaning robot, it is advisable to use a detergent specifically formulated for these devices, with low foaming properties and to be used according to the dosage indicated by the manufacturer.
Robot vacuums have become a valuable ally for keeping floors clean every day, leaving technology to handle part of the work that previously required time and attention.
Choosing the right product is important not only to achieve effective cleaning, but also to use your device’s washing system correctly.
This is why VELUREX CleaneRobot was created: a detergent specifically formulated for Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Docking stations, designed to remove stubborn dirt, streaks and residues without excessive foam or sticky residues.
A formulation designed to work alongside technology, with simple use and precise dosing. Because when the robot does the work for us, the detergent should be up to the task too.
Why choose a specific detergent for Robot Vacuum Cleaner?
A floor-cleaning robot uses a controlled amount of water and detergent and, during the cleaning cycle, distributes the solution over the surface and then collects it.
For this reason, the detergent formulation is important: it is necessary to check that the product is compatible with the device and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Can I use a regular floor cleaner in a floor-cleaning robot?
It is not advisable to automatically use a regular floor cleaner in a Robot Vacuum Cleaner. Before use, it is important to check the device manufacturer’s instructions and the detergent’s compatibility.
Detergents not specifically designed for automatic cleaning systems may, depending on their formulation, produce excessive foam or leave residues. These characteristics can interfere with the proper functioning of the washing system.
For this reason, it is preferable to choose a product formulated for this type of device and always use it according to the dosage indicated in the technical data sheet..

an the detergent also be used with a wet and dry cleaner?
When using a wet and dry cleaner, choosing the right detergent is important. These devices require products that are compatible with their washing system and, in particular, it is preferable to use low-foaming formulations.
Regular floor cleaners designed for traditional cleaning with a bucket and mop may produce an amount of foam that is unsuitable for this type of appliance.
Why is it important to choose a low-foaming detergent?
VELUREX CleaneRobot is specifically formulated for floor cleaning robots and docking stations and helps remove dirt, streaks and residues without excessive foam or sticky residues.
This feature also makes it suitable for wet and dry electric cleaners. Foam formation is an important factor to consider when choosing a detergent for an electric cleaning device. Less foam, fewer residues, cleaning designed around your device’s technology.
