How Braava Cleans
Braava intelligently cleans your floor by mapping the room as it cleans.
Cleaning Cycle
• Braava cleans your home in sections, first cleaning areas to its right and
later returning to areas to its left.
• When the open areas in each section are complete, Braava cleans along
edges of furniture and walls before moving on.
• When finished, Braava returns to where it started and parks itself.
Cleaning Pattern
• In open areas, Braava methodically cleans back
and forth across your floor.
• As Braava encounters chair legs, furniture and
other obstacles, it cleans around them and
continues its cleaning pattern.
• Braava detects stairs and will maneuver away
from drop offs and back to the cleaning area.
As a safety precaution, open ledges or
balconies with a drop of 2 feet or more
should be blocked off with a physical barrier.
• Braava also detects area rugs and raised transitions
to carpet so it can avoid driving on to them.
Note: If your carpet is flush with your hard surface floor,
you may need to add a temporary barrier to provide Braava
a boundary it can detect.
• Braava follows along walls and edges as it
encounters them and as it completes each section
it cleans.
