Scooba Virtual Wall
The Scooba Virtual Wall creates an invisible barrier that
Scooba will not cross. Virtual Walls can be set to block
areas from three to eight feet wide.
TIP: Use the Virtual Wall to block doorways or to keep Scooba away from cords.
The Virtual Wall beam is keyhole
shaped. A small halo prevents Scooba
from bumping the Virtual Wall and a
larger lobe-shaped section blocks off
areas of your home where you don't
want Scooba to go.
Virtual Walls require 2 “D” batteries.
Virtual Walls will automatically shut
themselves off at the end of a
cleaning cycle.
TIP: For best performance, place the Virtual Wall on the outside of the doorway
you wish to block, and always set the Virtual Wall to the shortest setting possible.

Clorox®Scooba Solution
Clorox®Scooba Cleaning Solution
Clorox®Scooba cleaning solution is a specially formulated cleaning
solution that is safe for use in Scooba. The solution is designed to
be tough enough for cleaning, but safe around children and pets.
CAUTION: Use only approved cleaning solutions in Scooba. Other solutions
may damage Scooba causing corrosion of electronic parts, excessive foaming, and
poor traction. Use of other solutions may damage the robot and voids the warranty.
Clorox®Scooba cleaning solution has been specifically engineered to be safe
and effective on hard floor surfaces, including tile, linoleum, vinyl, marble,
slate, stone, and sealed hardwood.
The solution contains no bleach.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE SCOOBA ON THESE SURFACES:
• Carpet or rugs
• Unsealed hardwood or stone
• Laminate flooring (such as Pergo®)
Scooba is not recommended for use on unfinished or unsealed hard floor surfaces, carpet, rugs
or waxed floors. These surfaces may be damaged by water (an unsealed floor does not have a
coat of polyurethane to protect the sub-flooring from water damage). Additionally, Scooba is not
safe for use with laminate flooring which may be damaged by wet cleaning methods.
TIP: When using Scooba on sealed hardwood floors, inspect the floor surface for worn
finish, bare wood, or separated and unsealed joints. Do not use Scooba on your hard-
wood floor if any of these conditions exist. Follow the floor manufacturer's cleaning
recommendations.
Approved Cleaning Solutions
iRobot approves using only Clorox®Scooba cleaning solution or 2 oz. of
white vinegar with Scooba. iRobot does not assume responsibility for floor
damage caused by the use of vinegar on hard floor surfaces.
