As 2024 draws to a close, it's time to start the year-end cleaning, and don't forget to clean your robotic vacuum cleaner and its base station. You will need a cloth and replacement consumables, which include a rolling brush, side brushes, filters, mops, dust bags, etc. Regularly replacing these consumables can more effectively maintain the cleaning efficiency of your robotic vacuum. The replacement parts for this Shark robotic vacuum cleaner are all produced by techTongBo and are perfectly compatible with the machine.
Let's start with the robotic vacuum cleaner. The dustbin location varies among different robotic vacuum cleaners. For my Shark model, the dustbin is located at the side rear of the machine, and it's a larger module that can be wiped directly with a cloth. The primary filter and the main filter can be cleaned separately and air-dried. On the other hand, for the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra robotic vacuum cleaner, you need to open the top cover to remove the dustbin. The top cover of the vacuum can be wiped clean with a cloth. Open the lid of the robotic vacuum cleaner to remove the dustbin and detach the installed filter from it. The dustbin and filter can be rinsed with water, dried, and then reinstalled. The robot vacuum filter should be replaced about every three months. The dust collection port and the recessed areas on the machine can be wiped with a cloth, and you will still find some residual debris.
Turn the machine over to remove the rolling brush cover, rolling brush, mop, and side brushes. Some side brushes can be removed directly, while those with screws may need a screwdriver to unscrew. The removed parts can be cleaned with water and a small brush. If the main brush is tangled with hair, you can remove both ends for cleaning. When these parts age, replacement parts are available, and more affordable third-party replacements can perform the cleaning tasks of the vacuum cleaner very well. Next, use a cloth to wipe the wheels and other parts of the chassis clean, and use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the sensors, cameras, and other areas.
The cleaning of the base station is often overlooked. For this Shark robotic vacuum cleaner, first remove the chassis and wash it with water, then wipe the remaining parts clean with a cloth. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra's base station features self-cleaning capabilities. It is equipped with a self-cleaning brush, and the water tank filter is detachable. Both can be removed for individual cleaning. Open the red latch to remove the self-cleaning brush, which can also be cleaned with water. Next to it is the water tank filter, which can be removed and washed with a brush. There is a handy tool here, a water flosser. If you happen to have one, use it to rinse the cleaning tray, and it will clean very well. You can also use cleaning solution, or nowadays some robotic vacuum cleaners are equipped with antibacterial silver ions in the dirty water tank, which can help eliminate odors. Remove the clean water tank and dirty water tank and clean them thoroughly. If your base station uses disposable dust bags, replace the dust bag directly with a new one. The surface of the base station can be wiped clean with a cloth.
Follow these steps to maintain and clean the robotic vacuum cleaner and base station, as well as to replace consumables. Your vacuum cleaner and base station are now as good as new, ready to welcome the upcoming new year!
