How to Clean Your Dyson Robot Vacuum and Dock
A simple care routine for the brushes, filter, mop and station that keep your robot cleaning.
Dyson’s Spot+Scrub Ai combines a wet roller with a bagless cyclonic dock. Cleaning the dry and wet systems separately helps prevent one neglected part from affecting the next job.
These instructions focus on Dyson’s current Spot+Scrub Ai wet-and-dry robot. Older 360-series robots have different hardware and do not share its mopping dock.
What Should You Do Before Maintenance?
Stop the cleaning task, turn off the robot and disconnect the dock from power before working on removable parts. Let hot washing or drying components cool.
Identify the dry brush, wet roller and water-handling components in the Spot+Scrub Ai guide. Do not use a 360 Vis Nav cleaning diagram to take apart the newer wet-and-dry robot.
How Do You Clean the Dry-Cleaning Parts?
- Open the brush cover using the release shown in the manual.
- Lift out the main brush or brushes and remove trapped hair.
- Inspect the brush ends, side brush and wheels for debris.
- Empty the robot’s dustbin and check its accessible openings.
- Reinstall each part and secure the brush cover.
The Spot+Scrub Ai has filtration in the robot and dock. Check the care instructions for each filter separately and wash only components identified as washable.

How Do You Clean the Sensors and Contacts?
Remove dust from exposed sensors and charging contacts with a soft, dry cloth. Find their positions in your robot’s diagram rather than wiping only the top navigation window.
Keep water and cleaning sprays away from electrical contacts. Do not rinse the assembled robot.
What Needs Attention at the Dock?
The cyclonic station collects dry debris in a reusable bin. Empty that bin through the designed release rather than looking for a disposable dust bag. Also check the water tanks and wet-cleaning area.
For a removable dirty-water tank, empty the contents and rinse as the manual directs. Clean only dock components approved for removal and washing. A self-cleaning station still needs its collected waste removed.

How Often Should You Check Everything?
As a starting household routine, inspect for hair and debris weekly and check dirty water after mopping. Use the manufacturer’s schedule for detailed care, checking more often when pets or heavy use create buildup.
Finish by checking for missing parts, loose lids or damp filters before restoring power and starting another task.
