iRobot Roomba Care Guide

Give the moving parts a regular check.

Roomba maintenance varies by generation and whether your model vacuums, mops or uses an auto-empty base. The official model guide should always take priority.

• Remove hair and debris from the main brushes or extractors
• Inspect the filter and empty the bin as required
• Wipe charging contacts and sensors using the recommended method
• Check the front caster and drive wheels for trapped debris
• Use the app's error message to narrow down a recurring fault

iRobot's UK support guidance recommends cleaning main brushes weekly—or twice weekly in homes with pets—and replacing them when due or worn. Confirm the schedule for your series.
