Understand how iRobot Scooba cleans
Before You Get Started
Scooba’s Cleaning Pattern
Scooba is a robot that cleans differently than
the way most people clean their floors. Scooba
uses iRobot’s AWARE™ Robot Intelligence
System to determine the best way to pass
over and clean every section of the floor.
While Scooba is cleaning, it calculates the best
path to clean your floor and it determines the best
times to exhibit its various cleaning behaviors:
Spiraling: Enables Scooba to efficiently clean a
concentrated dirty area
Wall following: Enables Scooba to clean the room
perimeter and navigate around furniture and
obstacles
Room crossing: Enables Scooba to clean new
areas while crisscrossing the room
IMPORTANT:
Let Scooba complete an entire
cleaning cycle every time you clean
Scooba’s Cleaning System
Scooba performs 4 cleaning methods in one pass:
Preps – Picks up loose crumbs, sand, and dirt
Washes – Uses fresh, clean solution
Scrubs – Gently scrubs your floor, removing
dirt, grime, and spills
Dries – Picks up the dirty solution, leaving the
floor clean and dry*
* Floor drying time may vary.
Grasp the handle
and pull Scooba’s
tank up.
Release Scooba’s
tank by pushing
the handle.
