The best part of having a robot vacuum is handing over the daily vacuuming and mopping. The trade-off is that, every so often, the robot needs a little TLC of its own. I run my MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller Complete every day, and between the dogs, the hair and the mud, it stays busy. Here’s where I focus my weekly maintenance checks and what the photos show after all that work. ## Start by Laying Out the Parts My usual routine takes about 10 minutes of hands-on work, with drying time on top of that. I like laying the removable parts out so I can see what needs attention and keep track of what goes back where. The first photo shows the robot, brush assembly, bin, filter, roller mop and other removable components. I also keep a microfiber cloth handy for the sensors. ![The robot and removable components laid out for a maintenance session.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/69/d5/69d51699-d072-45ac-9ab4-d45efbe74012/content/images/2026/10/732-01.jpg) The robot and removable components laid out for a maintenance session. Follow your model’s power-off and maintenance instructions before taking parts out. Some of the tools and cleaning methods in my original forum routine still need manufacturer confirmation, so this guide focuses on what to inspect and uses the manual for the cleaning method. ## Look Beyond the Obvious Hair The underside photo was taken after about 15 days of use. With the robot vacuuming and mopping every day in our house, the dust and hair weren’t a surprise. I check the main brushes and their ends, then look around the roller-mop housing. The areas where clean water enters and dirty water is collected can build up residue that’s easy to miss if you only wipe the outside. ![The underside of the robot before cleaning.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/69/d5/69d51699-d072-45ac-9ab4-d45efbe74012/content/images/2026/10/732-02.jpg) The underside of the robot before cleaning. ![Debris in the roller-mop housing before cleaning.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/69/d5/69d51699-d072-45ac-9ab4-d45efbe74012/content/images/2026/10/732-07.jpg) Debris in the roller-mop housing before cleaning. Accessible wheel areas deserve a look, too. The goal is to catch the hair and grime before there’s enough of it to interfere with the next cleaning job. ## Give the Bin, Filter and Brushes Some Attention I check the bin and filter along with the brush assembly. If the robot is leaving debris behind or the bin isn’t emptying well, those are useful places to start looking. One advantage of the Complete bundle is having spare parts available. I can rotate a clean, dry replacement into service while another washable part dries, rather than rushing it back into the robot. Only wash parts the manufacturer identifies as washable, and let them dry fully for the recommended time. Wet parts in a dust path can turn a little leftover debris into a bigger cleanup. ## Don’t Forget the Roller Mop and Sensors Check the roller for trapped hair, residue and wear, and inspect the housing before putting it back. I also work the sensor and camera surfaces into the routine, using the cleaning method specified for them. It’s a little attention now that helps keep the robot ready for tonight’s run. ## The Dock Has Been Working, Too I really like that the dock’s wash tray comes out. Being able to reach it properly makes that part of the cleanup much easier. Then there’s the dirty-water tank and dust bag. For the original photos, I cut a bag open to show how much hair the robot had collected over about three weeks. We’d been watching several golden retrievers in addition to our own dogs, so the Z60 was working overtime. ![Collected pet hair displayed beside the station dirty-water tank.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/69/d5/69d51699-d072-45ac-9ab4-d45efbe74012/content/images/2026/10/732-04.jpg) Collected pet hair displayed beside the station dirty-water tank. ![The dirty-water tank and pet hair removed from a dust bag.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/69/d5/69d51699-d072-45ac-9ab4-d45efbe74012/content/images/2026/10/732-06.jpg) The dirty-water tank and pet hair removed from a dust bag. That opened bag was for the demonstration, not something to reuse. For normal maintenance, check the bag’s condition and replace it when needed. Empty and clean the dirty-water tank as directed, inspect the seals and make sure the tray is back in place. ## How Often Should You Do This? Weekly works for my household. It may be more attention than yours needs, and that’s fine. Adjust the schedule to what you actually find when you inspect the robot. Before the next run, I want everything dry where required, properly fitted and ready to go. The cleaned-up robot and tray are in the photo below. ![The robot and removable tray after cleaning.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/69/d5/69d51699-d072-45ac-9ab4-d45efbe74012/content/images/2026/10/732-05.jpg) The robot and removable tray after cleaning. And I can’t leave out my testing team. They’ve been very dedicated to creating the messes that make these posts possible. ![The dogs in the household used for the home tests.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/69/d5/69d51699-d072-45ac-9ab4-d45efbe74012/content/images/2026/10/732-03.jpg) The dogs in the household used for the home tests. For me, a few minutes spent checking the robot is a fair trade for not having to do all that daily vacuuming and mopping myself. I hope this helps you figure out a routine that works in your own home.
