How Mint Cleans Cont’d
Mint’s Moves
In open areas, Mint methodically cleans
back and forth across your floor.
Mint starts where you place it and works
its way out from there, cleaning as far
as it can reliably go and automatically
adjusting to new areas it discovers.
As Mint encounters chair legs, furniture
and other obstacles it cleans around
them and then continues its cleaning
pattern. Mint will periodically return to
areas it skipped before continuing on.
Mint detects stairs and will maneuver
away from drop offs and back to the
cleaning area.
Mint also detects area rugs and raised
transitions to carpet so it can avoid
driving onto them.
Note: If your carpet is flush with your hard surface floor, you may need to add a temporary
barrier to provide Mint a boundary it can detect.
Mint follows along walls and edges as
it encounters them and at the end of its
cleaning cycle.
