Can I use Universal Cleaner in a robot vacuum or mop?Updated a few seconds ago
TL;DR: No. We haven't tested Universal Cleaner in robot vacuums or robot mops, so we don't recommend putting it in one. Universal Cleaner is never diluted, and a robot's tank mixes whatever goes in it with water. Use what your robot's manual specifies in its tank, and use Universal Cleaner in Spray Mop for floors.

⚠ Not tested in robots, so not recommended
We haven't tested Universal Cleaner in any robot vacuum or robot mop, so we don't recommend putting it in the tank or any internal part.
Universal Cleaner is never diluted, and a robot's tank mixes whatever goes in it with water. Robot mops also differ a lot under the lid: tanks, seals, tubing, pads and sensors vary by brand and model, and most manuals specify water or the maker's own solution.
What should go in my robot mop's tank?
✓ Water in the robot, Universal Cleaner for the rest
A water-only robot pass does a good job of keeping dust and light soil down between proper cleans, which is most of what a robot mop is for in the first place.
The film that builds on high-traffic floors, kitchen spills, and the edges and corners a robot cannot reach are where a manual clean earns its place. Spray Mop takes Universal Cleaner directly in its refillable reservoir, so the two jobs split cleanly and Universal Cleaner never goes in the robot.
What's the Koh-tested way to clean floors with Universal Cleaner?
✓ The Koh-tested floor pairing
Spray Mop is designed and tested by Koh to run Universal Cleaner straight in its refillable reservoir. No bucket, never diluted, mop pads that machine wash and go again. Suits sealed timber, laminate, tile, vinyl and sealed stone. For oiled or waxed timber, fill it with plain water instead.
The Spray Mop Starter Kit pairs the Spray Mop and five mop pads with a dusting mop pad and a box of Universal Cleaner.
