How to Clean and Maintain the Ultra Dock (on the Roborock S7MaxV Ultra)

At @robotspecialist we are getting a lot of questions about the Roborock S7MaxV Ultra Dock and the best way to maintain it.
In this tutorial, Simon will take you through best practice and tips & tricks to keep your Ultra Dock running as new! Hopefully this helps :)

Great presentation, thank you! I've had mine for a month and a bit of regular maintenance should keep it running for a long time. I have heard complaints about odors coming from the wet tanks and the mop. The Omo solution seems to prevent any odors from the clean water tank, no matter how long the water sits there. Rinsing it when it eventually runs out of water is a good idea. The dirty water tank should be emptied and rinsed at the end of your mopping day. Spraying inside the tank with a disinfectant (such as Lysol spray) prevents any odor at all. Whether you have the dryer attachment or not, it's a good idea to remove the mop head at the end of your mopping day. Either rinse it with warm sudsy water or toss it in the washer, then let it air dry. Never any odor problems. All of these require some degree of maintenance and it's well worth the small amount of time it takes. They save hours of work and pay for themselves in a short time.

Just the info I came here for. I went to empty my dirty water tank today and it smelled like death. I'll give the lysol trick a try.

the grime builds up so much all over the bottom of the dock - where he took the filter out, and wiped easily under there - there are so many crevices and ledges... so hard to see inside it and so many holes / patterns on the plastic where things just build up. I'm worried mine wont last long!!

My Ruborock Ultra 7 Max stopped sucking clean water from the tank!! Previously, I used to fill the tank with clean water about every three days, but now, unfortunately, the tank has been full for more than ten days, and the dirty water tank is empty. The mop no longer wipes like before, and its performance has become very weak. Is there a solution? There is no maintenance center for this device in my country.

After some time the clean water tank will begin to have algae floating all over in the clean water. It's kind of hard to get the algae buildup completely cleaned from all the cracks and crevices inside those water buckets. Not alot of room inside them to get your hand down in there and removed all the buildup of moldy type algae. Kind of a pain as I don't want to be mopping my floors with algae water.

have you considered using detergent or white vinegar? they've made a special detergent for use with Roborock products.

I use white vinegar in mine and get the algae. @@SkyReviewsNet

Thanks, how do you trouble shoot a vacuum plug up that is lower in the chamber and can't grab out?

My robot won’t wash the mop is it possible for the nozzles to get blocked?

[@rxappdev]

At this rate, you will go through toothbrushes like crazy 🤣

damn the Q revo is so much less hassle than this despite being cheaper(same robot, just diffrent dock with same features). defiently engineers making new changes to justify their jobs and worsening the product as a result.
