- Zero foam - safe for the robot's sensors, pump, and seals
- Dilute 5–10 ml/liter - 1 L lasts for many months of use
- Dries quickly - no streaks on laminate, tiles, vinyl, or wood
- For Roomba, Xiaomi, Roborock, Cecotec, Kärcher, and other brands
- Also works as a traditional floor cleaner - 20–30 ml/L in a bucket
Why standard floor cleaners aren't always suitable for robots
Standard floor cleaners have two properties that become problematic in a robot's tank. Firstly, foaming: surfactant-based cleaners foam heavily in the robot's small pump, blocking liquid level sensors and overloading the dosing mechanism. Secondly, waxes and polymers: they create a layer on the floor that, after 3–4 robot cycles, results in stickiness and streaks that are impossible to wash off.
Vitaclean Mop Robot Concentrate was developed with zero foaming and no waxes. pH-neutral, fast-evaporating - no film, no streaks, no scent once dry. A bestseller with 3000 units in stock. Produced in Germany.
Low foam, quick drying - what difference does it make
Three parameters determine the results of robotic cleaning: foaming, drying speed, and solution pH.
| Parameter | Standard floor cleaner | Vitaclean ✓ |
|---|---|---|
| Foaming | high - risk of pump blockage | zero |
| Drying | slow - marks and streaks | fast |
| pH | often alkaline - dulls the finish | neutral |
| Wax / polymer | often yes - accumulates | none |
How to choose a cleaner for your floor type
| Floor type | Dosage | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Laminate panels / varnished wood | 5 ml/L | Do not soak - short contact and quick drying are essential |
| Ceramic tiles and stone | 8–10 ml/L | Safe for grout and seals - leaves no white residue |
| Vinyl and LVT | 5 ml/L | LVT does not tolerate alkaline cleaners - pH-neutral Vitaclean won't dull the surface |
Dosing step-by-step
The most common mistake - too much product. A robot mop needs far less than a traditional mop.
| Robot tank size | Vitaclean concentrate |
|---|---|
| 150 ml | 1 ml (pipette or 1/5 of a teaspoon) |
| 250 ml | 1–2 ml |
| 300 ml | 1,5–2 ml |
| 450 ml | 2–3 ml |
| 5 L bucket (traditional mop) | 100–150 ml |
Streaks left by the robot - 8 causes and quick fixes
| # | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Too much cleaner in the tank | Reduce dose to 5 ml/L |
| 2 | Cleaner contains wax or polymer | Switch to Vitaclean - wax-free |
| 3 | Dirty or wet mop cloth | Replace or clean before mopping |
| 4 | Floor dusty before mopping | Vacuum first, then mop |
| 5 | Detergent residue from previous cycle | Rinse the tank after each use |
| 6 | Hard water in the tank | Use filtered water or demineralize |
| 7 | Floor too cold (<15°C) | Product evaporates slower - streaks after cooling |
| 8 | Robot moving too slow in intensive mode | Change cleaning mode or increase travel speed |

What to pour into a robot mop?
Water with a concentrate designed for robots - no foam, no wax. Dilute Vitaclean 5–10 ml per liter of water. Do not use standard floor cleaners - high foaming blocks sensors and the robot's pump.
How many ml of Vitaclean concentrate per robot tank?
5–10 ml per liter of water. For a 300 ml tank, that's 1,5–3 ml - less than a teaspoon. Overdosing is the most common cause of streaks and white marks once dry.
Does standard floor cleaner damage a robot mop?
With regular use, yes. High-foaming agents block sensors and the pump. Agents with waxes accumulate in the tank and on the cloth, leaving a sticky layer on the floor.
How to eliminate streaks from robot mopping?
Most common causes: too much product in the tank, cleaner with wax, dirty cloth, dusty floor before cleaning. Start by reducing the dose to 5 ml/L and changing the cloth.
Is Vitaclean safe for laminate and varnished wood?
Yes. The formula is pH-neutral and free from waxes or alcohols that dull the finish. Safe for laminate panels, varnished wood, LVT vinyl, and ceramic tiles.
How often should I clean the robot mop tank?
After each use, rinse the tank with clean water and leave it open to dry. Every 2–4 weeks, rinse with warm water and a few ml of Vitaclean - this prevents bacteria growth and musty odors.
Does Vitaclean concentrate work as a regular floor cleaner too?
Yes. Diluted 20–30 ml per liter of water, it works as a fully effective cleaner for traditional mops or cloths. Same properties: no streaks, fast drying, safe for all surfaces.
