Thanks for the video. I've done general maintenance with my Roborock; however, my vacuum got into some fine ash. We have a woodstove; while removing the ash from the woodstove, some got under the woodstove, leaving a very fine layer that blended right into the tile, and the vacuum went right over that. Since some items needed replacement, I just took care of everything. This video was very helpful in checking other areas, and now my vacuum is as good as new.

amazing and thorough videos, also the music is matching perfectly. One thing to note, on the mopping pad the brownish stains are because of the dryer first usages, it's some plastic residue from the vents due to the heating inside the dock, so with a new one you wont have this anymore in the future, maybe in the long run but not so soon as when robot was new.

Great job, better than Roborock's videos. And soothing music and voice, I left feeling relaxed and ready to clean my vacuum! I'd like to mention that the dirty water tank should be emptied very regularly, if not after every mopping session. I find that if you don't use the mopping feature frequently (such that it fills up and prompts emptying) letting the dirty water linger leads to a very foul odor. I use a spray cleaner containing bleach in the tank and let it sit for 5 minutes or so before rinsing it out (don't leave it in the tank, it can eat the plastic). I leave the dirty water tank door open while it's in the dock so it can dry it out when not in use.

Thanks, very useful. By the way, don't you think the way the side brush gets its fibers angeled by the heat of mops drying is a design failure? Mine is like yours and in other vacuums I had that did not happened. The worst thing I think it is not just a chosmetic error, cause sometimes I can see side brush kicking trash out instead of absorbing it. Have you had a similar experience with yours?

So I have been cleaning my floors with dirty water! gross! I have found the same brown mildew in my clean water tank too, but Today is the first time I even looked at the vacuum's water tank. Please come out with a better solution to add to the Roborock products! It says you are only allowed to use Roborock cleaning solution, so now I don't know what to do!
