It's time to stop mopping. From iRobot, the makers of the top-selling iRobot Roomba Vacuuming Robot, comes a revolutionary new way to clean your hard floors.  

Meet iRobot Scooba Floor Washing Robot, the world's first floor-washing robot for the home that preps, washes, scrubs, and dries your floor--all by itself. Scooba not only does the job for you, but does it better. Unlike mop and bucket methods that just spread dirty water around your floor, Scooba uses fresh Clorox Scooba cleaning solution from start to finish. With the press of a button, the robot will leave your floors clean, dry, and ready to walk on. Scooba is simple to use, and safe on all sealed hardwood, tile, and linoleum flooring.  

Easy to Use
Scooba is easy to use. Simply fill the "Clean" tank with Clorox Scooba cleaning solution and water. Place Scooba on the floor, press "Power" and then the "Clean" button. Scooba will clean the entire room in approximately 45 minutes. When Scooba is finished cleaning, empty the "Dirty" tank into the sink or toilet, rinse and replace the tank, and connect Scooba to the power supply to recharge its battery.

Scooba is powered by a rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery. Scooba's battery fully charges in about 3 hours and will last for almost two complete cleaning cycles. For best performance, iRobot recommends recharging the battery after every cleaning cycle. Scooba's battery is environmentally safe and will provide hundreds of cleaning cycles.

Scooba also comes with a Virtual Wall to contain Scooba in the area you want to clean.

SCOOBA'S FOUR-STAGE CLEANING SYSTEM

Scooba features a proprietary four-stage cleaning system that will simultaneously prep, wash, scrub, and dry your floor in a single pass.

• Prep: With Scooba, there's no need to sweep the floor before washing. Scooba preps your floor by picking up loose dirt and light debris, including hair, dust, and many cereals.
• Wash: Scooba then washes your floor by laying down a mixture of specially formulated Clorox Scooba cleaning solution and water. Clorox Scooba cleaning solution is safe on all sealed hard floor surfaces. And it's nontoxic, so it's safe to use around kids and pets.
• Scrub: Next, Scooba's specially designed brushes gently scrub floors, cleaning spills and removing grime. Scooba's brush spins at 1,500 revolutions per minute, scrubbing your floor more effectively than traditional mops or any other hard-floor cleaning system.
• Dry: Finally, Scooba actually dries your floor by picking up the dirty water left on the floor and depositing it into a second tank. The residue is held in the "Dirty" tank until it is emptied. So, instead of just redistributing the dirty water around your floor like standard mops do, Scooba leaves your floor cleaner, drier, and ready to walk on.

SCOOBA COVERS THE ENTIRE FLOOR

Scooba thoroughly cleans floors, covering every section of the floor an average of four times. During a cleaning cycle, Scooba monitors its environment 67 times per second and adjusts its cleaning behavior for maximum coverage. Scooba uses three behaviors in every cleaning cycle, ensuring thorough cleaning of the entire area.

• Wall Following: Scooba uses this technique to clean the entire perimeter of the room and for navigating around furniture and other obstacles.
• Room Crossing: Scooba crisscrosses the room as it looks for new areas to clean, ensuring total coverage of the room.
• Spiraling: In this mode, Scooba creates a large spiral pattern to effectively cover large open areas

For best coverage and faster cleaning, iRobot recommends removing chairs and other furniture from the room you want to clean. Scooba cleans an average kitchen in about 45 minutes, covering each area of the room multiple times to thoroughly clean your floor.

Over the course of a cleaning cycle, Scooba will automatically react to obstacles and maneuver its way through a variety of situations. Scooba features integrated cliff sensors that tell the robot to turn away from stairs and other drops. Scooba's non-marring bumper is gentle to furniture and other obstacles. Scooba also has infrared wall sensors that allow the robot to clean around the perimeter of the room and around obstacles. 

** F A Q's **

How does Scooba know where to clean? Do I have to program it?
Scooba covers every part of the floor multiple times every time it cleans. There's nothing to program: Scooba uses sensors and its robot intelligence system to automatically navigate around your room.

Can Scooba clean as well as I do?
Because Scooba is a robot, it uses a different cleaning method than you typically would. Its compact size enables it to reach under furniture and other hard-to-reach places. Plus, it's so easy to use, you can wash your floors more frequently and maintain a cleaner home.

Is Scooba safe to use on hard floors?
Scooba is designed to safely clean all sealed hard floor surfaces, including tile, linoleum, marble and sealed hardwood—wherever you would typically use a standard mop. Scooba uses water and a specially designed Clorox cleaning solution that is safe and effective on all sealed hard floor surfaces.
