How to Clean Your Narwal Robot Vacuum and Dock
A simple care routine for the brushes, filter, mop and station that keep your robot cleaning.
Narwal’s cleaning stations can wash mops and collect debris, but the robot’s brush, water-handling parts and station still need attention between automated tasks.
These instructions focus on current Narwal robots, including the 2026 Flow 2. The app may be labeled Narwal Freo, and hardware varies by family.
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.
Flow-series track mops and Freo-series spinning pads need different removal procedures. Follow the maintenance instructions linked to your device in the Narwal app.
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.
Check the robot’s filter and dust-storage parts through its in-app maintenance guide. Do not apply a care table for an older Freo model to a Flow 2 without checking compatibility.

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?
On the Flow 2, the dock handles dust collection, mop washing and drying. Its app provides maintenance controls; inspect the tanks and cleaning area before repeating an unsuccessful task.
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.
