How to Clean Your Mova Robot Vacuum and Dock
A simple care routine for the brushes, filter, mop and station that keep your robot cleaning.
Mova’s recent robots use several different mopping and dust-storage systems. Identify the parts on your own robot before following a maintenance routine.
These instructions focus on Mova’s 2026 robot vacuums. Spinning-pad, roller-mop and dock designs differ across the lineup.
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.
Check whether your Mova uses spinning pads or a roller. On roller models, follow the manual’s preparation steps for onboard wastewater components before changing the robot’s position.
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.
Remove loose dust from the filter and follow its care label. Rinse only filters and containers the manual marks as washable, then let them dry fully.

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?
Some V70 Ultra Complete stations use an EcoCyclone reusable dust tank instead of a disposable bag. Inspect and empty the tank according to its instructions; a bag-replacement procedure will not apply.
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.
