How Mint Plus Cleans
Mint Plus intelligently cleans your floor by mapping the room as it cleans.
Cleaning Cycle
Mint Plus cleans your home in sections, first cleaning areas to its right and later
returning to areas to its left.
When the open areas in each section are complete, Mint Plus cleans along edges
of furniture and walls before moving on.
When finished, Mint Plus returns to where it started and parks itself.
Cleaning Pattern
In open areas, Mint Plus methodically cleans
back and forth across your floor.
As Mint Plus encounters chair legs, furniture
and other obstacles, it cleans around them and
continues its cleaning pattern.
Mint Plus detects stairs and will maneuver away
from drop offs and back to the cleaning area.
As a safety precaution, open ledges or
balconies with a drop of 2 feet or more
should be blocked off with a physical barrier.
Mint Plus also detects area rugs and raised
transitions to carpet so it can avoid driving
on to them.
Note: If your carpet is flush with your hard surface floor,
you may need to add a temporary barrier to provide
Mint Plus a boundary it can detect.
Mint Plus follows along walls and edges as it
encounters them and as it completes each
section it cleans.
