Q: QuestionIf my house has lots of things that move from day to day will the roomba know where to cleen and not bump into things?

Asked 5 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hello, To reorder cleaning in your apartment with a Roomba that uses Imprint™ Smart Maps, you can adjust the cleaning order in the iRobot Home app. Rooms are cleaned in the order they are selected. To change the order, simply tap to unselect a room, and the cleaning order will adjust automatically. If you have made significant changes to your apartment layout or moved the charging dock, you may need to delete the existing map and create a new one according to iRobot.
