  Suggested Aldi Floor Cleaner

  I use Aldi floor cleaner diluted on my hardwood floorboards.

  Seems to do the job fine.

    Thanks for your reply!

    How long have you been using it for?
    Just wanted to make sure you have been using it long enough without any clog to the robot

      I’ve been using it for almost 12 months with no problems.

      I also use the same solution in my bissell for almost 4 years with no problems.

  I just use tap water. It's because we have natural timber with varnish on top. The intensive mopping vibrations with solvents (eg Methanol) would dissolve the varnish.
  Also, I just don't want to risk putting anything that could corrode something and create a leak given roborock + docking are sooo expensive.
  We don't wear shoes inside the house, and it seems to feel clean enough for us.

  Suggested Water

  Why not just water for the robot and stick to your water & methylated spirit mix when you mop.

    Thanks for your reply.
    so that I understand, you suggested I use both the robot and the normal mop in combination of it?

      Correct…. These machines are not full replacements for cleaning. You'll still have to vac and mop yourself every now and then, but clearly way less. There are areas they just don't get to.

  Just white vinegar/water mix should be enough.

      Oh sorry I was just more talking as a general cleaner that is all you should need, though it’s much less harsh than the OMO solution you said people in us use, so based on that it shouldn’t clog anything.

  I use a small amount of iRobot robot cleaner solution, available from bing Lee and Amazon.

      Only about a month. Someone in another forum had mentioned they’d been using the solution for a couple of years.

  Also Interested to know if there is a safe additive. Some people recommend spraying the floor with a floor cleaner before the robot mops, but im not sure this is a good idea as the robot will suck up moisture / water as it passes over the spray.

  Pinoclean diluted with water, then I add a few drops of Elderwood oil for scent.
