Vacuuming is supposed to make cleaning easier. But if your vacuum suddenly stops picking up dirt, struggles to move across the floor, or starts making strange noises, the problem might not be the motor; it could just be a clogged brush. Many people assume it's time for a vacuum repair when suction drops, but in reality, a dirty brush is often the real issue. Hair, dust, and threads can wrap tightly around the roller and block movement. Once that happens, the vacuum can't work properly, and over time, it puts stress on the motor. That's why knowing how to clean a vacuum brush is one of the simplest ways to avoid unnecessary breakdowns or costly repairs. With a few basic tools and a little time, you can restore performance and extend the life of your vacuum. In this guide, you'll learn when to clean, how to do it safely, and why it matters more than most people think. Why Clean Your Vacuum Brush Cleaning your vacuum brush, trivial as it might sound, makes a world of difference. Like: A clean brush ensures optimal suction by preventing clogs that reduce performance. Build-up on the brush puts strain on the motor, which can lead to costly damage over time. Cleaning the brush helps stop bacteria and allergens from being spread, ensuring your vacuum helps keep your home clean. How Often Should You Clean Your Vacuum's Brush? For most homes, clean the vacuum brush once a month. However, if you notice reduced suction or poor performance, it might be a sign that the brush needs attention. Clean Your Vacuum Brush More Frequently, If: You have pets, especially ones with long hair. In this case, your vacuum brush will need cleaning more often. Pet hair can quickly wrap around the brush and reduce its effectiveness. Aim to clean the brush every two weeks in pet-friendly homes to prevent clogs. You or family members have long hair. The vacuum brush may accumulate hair more quickly. Long strands tend to get tangled around the brush, which can make it harder for the vacuum to clean your floors properly. In such cases, cleaning the brush every two weeks is recommended. You have hard floors, like tile or wood, and the brush tends to get dirty less quickly as these surfaces shed less debris. Your home mostly has carpet. The brush may get dirty faster due to the increased amount of dust and dirt trapped in carpet fibers. Consider cleaning your brush more frequently if you have carpeted areas in your home. Signs That Your Vacuum Brush Needs Cleaning Signs that your vacuum brush needs cleaning are pretty easy to spot: Reduced Cleaning Performance Visible Hair and Debris Wrapped Around the Brush The Brush Roller Stops Spinning Unusual Noises During Operation Step-by-Step Instructions for Cleaning a Vacuum Brush Cleaning your vacuum brush might seem arduous, but it's easy with a few small steps: 1. Gather Your Supplies You will need a few basic tools to start: Scissors or a seam ripper to cut away any tangled hair or threads. A soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dust and debris. A cloth or towel to wipe off any remaining dirt. 2. Disconnect Power and Access the Brush Roller For safety, always disconnect your vacuum from the power source before you begin cleaning. Next, locate the brush roller. You may need to remove a cover or open a compartment to access it. 3. Remove the Brush from its Housing Once the brush is exposed, carefully remove it from its housing. Some vacuum models may have clips or screws holding the brush in place. If necessary, use a screwdriver to remove any screws. Place any removed parts in a safe spot to avoid losing them. 4. Cut Away Tangled Hair and Threads Using scissors or a seam ripper, carefully cut away any hair or threads that are wrapped around the brush. Be gentle! If you have a vacuum with an anti-tangle brush, like the Dreame X50 Ultra's HyperStream™ DuoBrush, you may find that hair buildup is less of an issue. These advanced brushes are specifically designed to prevent hair from wrapping around the roller. However, if hair does manage to accumulate, it can be easily removed with minimal effort, and the brush will continue to perform efficiently with regular maintenance. 5. Clear Debris from the Brush's End Caps and Housing After removing the tangled hair, use a soft brush to clean the end caps and housing where the brush fits. Dirt, dust, and hair can build up in these areas, reducing the brush's ability to rotate properly. Use the brush to gently scrub away any debris, then wipe it down with a cloth. 6. Wash the Brush Roller (If Applicable) If your vacuum brush is washable, use warm water and mild soap to clean it. Make sure to remove any remaining debris by scrubbing it with a soft brush. Let the brush dry completely before reassembling it. 7. Reassemble the Components Correctly Once the brush is clean and dry, carefully place it back into its housing. Reattach any screws or clips that hold the brush in place. Make sure the brush is securely in place and rotates freely before reconnecting your vacuum to the power source. Tips for Different Vacuum Types Different vacuums require different cleaning methods. Whether you're using a robot vacuum, wet-dry vacuum, or cordless stick vacuum, it's important to follow the right tips to keep the brush in top shape. Clean Robot Vacuum's Brush Take extra care when removing the brush from your robot vacuum, as these models often contain sensitive sensors and electric parts. Perform regular checks on the brush since robot vacuums run frequently, causing brushes to collect hair and debris quickly. Clean the brush every two weeks. Use small tools, such as an old toothbrush, to clean the brush area. These tools help remove dust and debris from hard-to-reach areas without scratching or damaging the vacuum's delicate parts. Check the brush rotation once a week to make sure it spins freely and nothing is blocking it. Some robot vacuums with mopping functions now include self-cleaning systems that rinse and dry the mop pads automatically after each use. Models like Dreame X50 Ultra use high-pressure nozzles and hot air drying to keep the mops fresh and odor-free. While this reduces manual work, it's still important to check the brushes and sensors regularly for best performance. Clean Wet Dry Vacuum's Brush Avoid wet build-up on the brush and other components when using a wet-dry vacuum. After cleaning wet messes, wash the brush with warm water and a soft brush. Thoroughly dry the brush before reusing the vacuum. Check the vacuum's liquid pathways and filters after each wet use to make sure nothing is blocking the tubes or filters. Some wet-dry vacuums, like the Dreame H15 Pro, come with advanced self-drying systems. These features use moisture detection to adjust drying time automatically, helping the roller stay dry and ready for the next use, even in humid environments. Clean Cordless Stick Vacuum's Brush Clean the brush weekly or as needed, based on usage. Check the brush rotation after cleaning to make sure it spins smoothly. When to Replace Your Vacuum Brush Over time, even with regular cleaning, your vacuum brush can start to show signs of wear and tear, so you may need to replace your brush if you notice: The bristles of the brush are no longer stiff or are visibly bent; the brush may no longer be able to agitate dirt and debris effectively. Cracks, splits, or visible damage to the brush or housing, it's time for a replacement. The brush roller no longer rotates freely, or it stops spinning entirely. It could be a sign that the brush is worn out. Reduced suction power even after a thorough cleaning. In this case, the brush may no longer be performing as it should. A Clean Vacuum Brush for a Happier Home Taking a few minutes to clean your vacuum brush makes a big difference. It helps your vacuum run more efficiently, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time relaxing at home. Whether you've got furry friends, little ones, or just the usual mess, regular brush cleaning keeps things running smoothly. It's a simple, quick task that ensures your vacuum is doing its best work, leaving you with fresher floors and a cleaner home! A happy brush means a happy home.

Cleaning a cooking oil spill on your kitchen floor can be tricky. Water and oil don't mix, so water-based cleaners won't do the job alone.  But no worries—there are some hacks that make it easy and quick to clean oil spilled on your kitchen floor. Types of Cooking Oil Spills You Might Face When oil hits the floor, speed matters most—but knowing what you’re dealing with can make cleanup easier. In a typical kitchen, that spill might be olive, vegetable, sunflower, coconut, peanut, or sesame oil. You might also be looking at melted butter or rendered animal fat. These behave differently: animal fats and butter are high in saturated fat, so they solidify as they cool and cling stubbornly to surfaces. Plant-based oils stay liquid at room temperature, so they’re generally easier to blot and lift. The real challenge comes from oils exposed to high heat—like deep-fryer oil—which becomes thinner and seeps into the floor more quickly, making stains harder to remove. No matter the type, though, acting fast is the single most important step for preventing long-lasting damage. First Response: What to Do Right Away Contain the spill before it spreads: Immediately use absorbents such as paper towels, corn starch or kitty litter to cover the spill and soak up as much of the oil as possible before it spreads or soaks into the floor. Allow the absorbent to sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Use a dustpan and broom or scraper to scoop up the saturated material. After removing the absorbent material, apply a fine layer of baking soda or flour to the remaining oily patch to draw out any lingering oil. Deep clean to remove residue once the oil has been absorbed. It's crucial to clean the area completely to remove any remaining substances that could make the floor a slippery hazard: Degreasers: A simple and effective degreaser can be made with a mixture of dish soap and hot water. You can use a scrub sponge to break down oil molecules. Follow up with advanced help such as the Dreame H15 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum to lift remaining oil and sanitize with high heat. Important Do not use water on a large, hot oil spill. This can cause the oil to splatter and create a burn hazard. If you have an oil-soaked cloth or rag, wash it separately to avoid contaminating other clothes. Why a Wet and Dry Vacuum is a Breakthrough Cleaning a cooking oil spill on the floor can be challenging, a wet dry vacuum provides a breakthrough. Unlike some appliances that might simply smear the oil around, each model in the Dreame Wet Dry Vacuum Collection uses powerful suction to lift liquid directly off a surface and then gives it a hot wash. It's a game-changer because it removes the slick, hazardous oil in one pass, leaving you with a clean, non-slip surface with less scrubbing and paper towel waste. The most effective response needs to consider not just the type of oil spilled, but also the surface it has been spilled on. Surface-Specific Advice for Spilled Oil Wood Floor Blot up the excess oil, then use a wood-safe cleaner or a baking soda and water paste. Gently scrub along the wood grain. Laminate Dab the oil with a soft cloth to prevent spreading. A mild solution of dish soap and warm water is effective for a final wipe-down. Concrete Cover the spill with an absorbent material like cat litter. After sweeping it up, use a strong degreaser or detergent with water and scrub with a stiff brush. Kitchen Tiles Absorb as much oil as possible with paper towels. Use a solution of warm water and dish soap to easily cut through and clean the remaining grease. Want to see more floor cleaning hacks? Go check our bolgs: How to clean hardwood floors How to clean wood floors How to Clean and Mop Tile Floors How to Clean Laminate Floors How to Clean Marble Floors How to Clean Grout on Tile Floor How to Clean Linoleum Floors Choosing Floor Cleaning Solution Cleaning Options to Reach For When you're faced with a greasy cooking oil spill on your kitchen floor, dish soap is a go-to for a reason: it is formulated to break down fats and oils, making it easier to rinse them away. It's gentle on most floor types and readily available, so it's a great first line of defense. Degreasers are heavy-duty cleaners specifically formulated to tackle tough grease and grime. They're more powerful than dish soap and can make quick work of a large spill, but it's wise to check if they're safe for your specific flooring material to avoid any damage. Vinegar is a popular DIY natural cleaner. Excellent for cutting through mineral deposits and disinfecting, it doesn't have the same fat-breaking power as dish soap or a degreaser. While a fantastic all-purpose cleaner for many things around the house, it's not the best choice for tackling a cooking oil spill. For that, you'll want to stick to a good dish soap or a dedicated degreaser. The best backup to finish the job is some high tech help such as the Dreame H14 Wet Dry Vacuum that can clear and sanitize the floor in a few quick passes. Smart Kitchen Habits to Reduce Spill Risk Keeping cooking oil spills from happening in the first place is all about building some smart kitchen habits. One of the easiest things you can do is to never leave a pan of hot oil unattended. A moment of distraction is all it takes for the oil to overheat and start smoking, increasing the risk of a splash or a fire. Another simple tip is to use a deep pan or pot when you're frying to contain any splatters. And when it's time to dispose of used oil, let it cool completely before carefully pouring it into a sealable container instead of down the drain—which is a whole other mess to avoid. Small changes can make a big difference in keeping your kitchen floor clean and safe. Pro-tip: Create an Emergency Spill Kit An emergency kit should include a few essentials: a bag of baking soda, cornstarch to soak up the oil; paper towels for initial blotting; degreasing dish soap for breaking down the oil and non-slip rubber gloves. Store everything in a labeled container in an cabinet so you can act quickly. FAQ Q: Can oil spills be cleaned fully?  Yes, a cooking oil spill can be fully cleaned from a kitchen floor with the right approach and a little patience. The key is to first absorb as much of the oil as possible with an absorbent material before using a degreaser or dish soap to tackle the remaining residue. Q: Which cleaner works fastest? Using an advanced appliance such as the Dreame H14 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum is a fast and efficient way to clean up cooking oil spilled on the kitchen floor. It can suck up both the liquid oil and any absorbent material you've used in pre-treatment. Q: Can I use a robot vacuum and mop? They are no substitute for the hands-on actions described above, but some robot vacuum models can handle fresh spills that are not too greasy.   Shining and Safe A cooking oil spill might feel like a sudden disaster, but with quick action, the right materials, and the proper tools, your floor can be restored to its clean, safe, and slip-free state in no time. Dreame’s range of advanced cleaning appliances makes the process easier, delivering powerful, targeted performance to handle even stubborn messes. With the right partner in cleaning, you can keep your home looking beautiful—and safe—day after day.me.      

Timber floors are timeless. They’re stylish, durable, and warm underfoot, but they can also lose their charm fast if not cared for properly. From sticky spots and muddy paw prints to dull patches and water damage, we’ve all experienced the pain of cleaning timber the wrong way. In this guide, you'll learn how to clean timber floors step-by-step, discover the best supplies for each type, and uncover the cleaning mistakes that can do more harm than good. Let’s bring back that beautiful timber glow. Why Timber Deserves Special Care Timber floors are often the centerpiece of a home. They’re durable, allergy-friendly, and can last for decades when maintained properly. But unlike tile or vinyl, timber is naturally porous. That means it reacts to moisture, heat, and even cleaning chemicals. Common risks with timber flooring include: Warping or buckling from excess water Surface scratches from debris or harsh bristles Cloudy residue from the wrong cleaners Long-term damage from oil spills or glue In short? Treat it right, and timber will return the favor. What Kind of Timber Floor Do You Have? Before you start cleaning, it’s important to know your floor type. Different timber finishes have different needs. Solid Hardwood: Natural timber planks with long-term durability. Typically sealed with polyurethane. Engineered Timber: Plywood base topped with real timber. More water-resistant, but still sensitive to excess moisture. Floating Timber Floors: Installed without nails or glue. Usually click-lock planks with a timber veneer. We’ll explain how to clean each of these in detail later on. What’s Best to Clean Timber Floors With? The good news: You don’t need dozens of fancy tools. A few essentials and a solid routine are all it takes to keep timber gleaming. 1. Mop for Timber Floors Can you mop timber floors? Yes—if you do it right. Choose a flat microfiber mop that you can wring nearly dry. Avoid string mops that hold excess water. Always mop in the direction of the wood grain. Dreame Take Try the Dreame L50 Ultra robot mop for hands-free cleaning. Its smart pathing technology ensures every inch of your timber floor gets cleaned while avoiding over-wetting. Perfect for daily upkeep without lifting a finger. 2. pH-Neutral Timber Floor Cleaner Skip harsh cleaners or vinegar. Instead, use a pH-neutral cleaner designed for timber surfaces. These remove dirt without eating into the finish. 3. Vacuum for Timber Floors Vacuuming is often better than sweeping. A quality vacuum, like the Dreame X40 Ultra Robot Vacuum, removes fine dust and grit that causes scratches. Why it’s ideal for timber floors: Soft roller brushes gently lift dirt without damaging the finish Adjustable suction adapts to floor type to avoid wear Anti-tangle design reduces clogging from pet hair or long debris It vacuums and mops intelligently, saving you time and effort. How to Clean Timber Floors: Step-by-Step Guide Ready to get started? Here’s the best way to clean timber floors: Step 1: Vacuum Thoroughly Use a soft-brush vacuum head to lift dust, dirt, and crumbs. Be sure to reach under furniture and along baseboards. Pro-tip Set robot vacuums like the Dreame L50 Ultra to clean while you’re out. With quiet operation and precise room mapping, it cleans thoroughly without disrupting your routine, making it ideal for busy households or pet owners. Step 2: Mix Cleaner with Warm Water Fill a bucket with warm (not hot) water and add a small amount of pH-neutral cleaner. Follow the dilution instructions. Step 3: Mop Gently Along the Grain Dip and wring your mop until barely damp. Mop in the direction of the grain to avoid streaks. Rinse and wring often. Step 4: Spot Clean Stains Carefully For sticky spots or stains, dampen a cloth with a diluted cleaner. Gently blot (don’t scrub), and always test in a corner first. Step 5: Dry Immediately  Never leave timber damp. Dry it immediately with a microfiber cloth or dry mop. Tips for Efficient Cleaning A few smart tweaks make timber floor cleaning faster and help preserve that fresh, clean look. Here are some useful tips: Clean up spills right away, especially liquids like oil, coffee, or wine. Always vacuum before mopping to prevent debris scratching the surface. Open windows or turn on fans after mopping to speed up drying. Keep humidity levels at 40–60% to prevent gaps. Use felt pads under chairs to reduce scratching during movement. Adopt a shoes-off policy to reduce dirt and scratches. Set a robot vacuum to clean multiple times per week for maintenance. Pro-tip For deep cleaning, the Dreame H14 Pro Wet and Dry Vacuum tackles spills without overwetting. It combines powerful suction and controlled water flow to safely lift sticky messes or grime—perfect for preserving your timber floor's finish. Cleaning by Floor Type Each type of timber flooring needs slight adjustments during cleaning. Floating Timber Floors Avoid soaking the joints, as moisture can seep into the seams and warp the planks. Use a nearly dry mop and vacuum with soft rollers. A robot vacuum like the Dreame L50 Ultra is ideal thanks to its no-mop zones. It detects flooring type and avoids moisture-sensitive areas, so you get safe, daily cleaning without risking water damage. Engineered Timber Floors These are slightly more water-resistant but still sensitive to heat and chemicals. Stick with microfiber mops and pH-neutral cleaners. Avoid vinegar, as it dulls the finish. Use a wet and dry vacuum like the Dreame H14 Pro for deeper maintenance without damage. Its precise water control and reach remove hidden messes safely and efficiently. Solid Hardwood This type requires the most care. Water and steam can easily cause damage. Vacuum daily with a soft-brush head, and mop with minimal moisture. Refinish every 5–10 years, and use cleaners labeled for hardwood. For deeper advice, check our full guide: How to Clean Hardwood Floors. Common Mistakes to Avoid Even with the right tools, small mistakes can still dull or damage timber floors. Here’s a table of common pitfalls and how to avoid them: Mistake Quick Fix ❌ Using too much water ✅ Wring mops until barely damp and dry floors immediately ❌ Skipping the vacuum step ✅ Vacuum first to remove debris that can scratch ❌ Using harsh chemicals or vinegar ✅ Stick to pH-neutral timber floor cleaners ❌ Leaving wet spots to air-dry ✅ Wipe with a microfiber cloth right after mopping ❌ Scrubbing stains aggressively ✅ Blot gently with a damp cloth and test first ❌ Using steam cleaners on timber ✅ Avoid steam entirely to prevent warping Important Never steam clean timber floors, as moisture and heat can penetrate and damage the wood fibers. How to Maintain Your Timber Floor A clean timber floor is great, but long-term maintenance is even better. Here’s how to keep yours shining year-round: Vacuum regularly with a robot vacuum like the Dreame L50 Ultra. Avoid high heels or dragging furniture across the floor. Add furniture pads and rugs in high-traffic areas. Keep humidity between 40 and 60% to prevent shrinking or warping. Use doormats at entrances to reduce tracked-in grit.

Dreame L40s Ultra is the latest flagship robot vacuum and mop combo from Dreame, offering top-tier cleaning performance and nearly hands-free maintenance. With a whopping 19,000Pa suction, advanced dual brushes, and an all-in-one self-cleaning base, it promises to tackle the trickiest messes, wet and dry, hidden in hard floor gaps or rugs. On top of the 100% detangling performance, it reaches tight corners using flexible mops and a side brush and clears obstacles up to 1.57in high. In this in-depth review, we’ll examine how the L40s Ultra performs in real homes, its smart navigation and app features, upkeep costs, and whether its premium price is justified for first-time buyers and seasoned smart home enthusiasts alike. Spoiler: if you’ve been dreaming of a powerful, self-cleaning robot vacuum that actually leaves floors spotless, this might be the one. Hald Floors and Carpets Cleaning Mixed floor cleaning is where the Dreame L40s Ultra truly shines. It’s equipped with Dreame’s 6th-gen TurboForce motor delivering up to 19,000Pa of suction – far above most models on the market– yet engineered to operate quietly even at high power. In our tests, this powerful suction translated to outstanding pickup on all surfaces.  On hard floors, the L40s Ultra collected nearly 100% of dust and debris in a single pass, leaving nothing behind even in tile grout lines. Its suction is strong enough to lift heavier particles like cereal and cat litter, and it automatically avoids scattering debris by modulating airflow. Carpet cleaning is equally impressive. On short-pile carpets, the L40s Ultra’s HyperStream™ Detangling DuoBrush system (one bristled roll + one rubber roll) digs deep to extract dirt and debris without tangling. Our tests showed 0 tangles with hair up to 12 in (30 cm). On long-pile carpets, switching to “Intensive Carpet Cleaning” mode slows the robot for a double pass, delivering thorough debris removal. In our tests, a medium-pile carpet came out visibly refreshed, with 99.99% of embedded hair removed. Edge and corner cleaning is another area where Dreame’s design shows its smarts. The L40s Ultra features Dual Flex Arm Technology, which basically lets it extend its side brush and mop pads outward to reach into corners and along wall edges that many round robots miss. The side brush sweeps debris out of corners effectively as the robot approaches edges head-on. Simultaneously, the two round mop pads can swing slightly beyond the chassis, so even wet scrubbing reaches baseboard edges. The result is minimal debris line left along walls – in our tests, the L40s Ultra picked up over 95% of dust in edges, a noticeable improvement over standard models with fixed brushes. Brushes & Mopping System Dreame includes all the necessary tools on the L40s Ultra for multi-surface cleaning. The main brush assembly is a dual roller (HyperStream DuoBrush) that actively prevents hair wrap. One roller has soft bristles ideal for hard floor crevices, and the other is a TPU rubber brush that excels on carpet – together they cover all floor types with low noise. For dry vacuuming, the side brush sweeps dirt into the suction path. When mopping, the L40s Ultra uses two spinning mop pads that press down on the floor to scrub away dried stains. These mop pads automatically lift 0.41 in (10.5 mm)  off the ground on carpets so your rugs stay dry. If you’re tackling a wet spill on hard floor, you can remove or disable the pads and let the vacuum’s brush do its work – the robot will lift its side brush out of the way to keep it dry and free of gunk. This separated wet/dry approach (vacuum-only vs. mop-only mode) is a thoughtful touch that protects the machine and your floors. We compiled a quick overview of how the L40s Ultra performed across different scenarios: Surface Mode Brush/Mop Used Result (Pickup/Cleanliness) Hard floors Standard suction DuoBrush + side brush ~100% of dust and crumbs removed → no scattering. Sparkling finish with mopping. Short-pile carpet Auto Boost + Mop Lift DuoBrush (bristles + rubber), mop lifted Deep clean, dirt and pet hair fully extracted. No dampness on carpet thanks to 0.41 in mop lift. Long-pile carpet Intensive Carpet Mode DuoBrush (mop removed) Excellent debris pickup. Recommended to detach mops to ensure thorough vacuuming. Edges & corners Edge mode SideReach™ extending side brush, mop extend Nearly all debris in corners captured. Minimal residue along baseboards. Wet spill on tile Mop-only mode Twin spinning mops (167°F hot water) Sticky dried spill completely scrubbed off. No brush contamination (side brush lifted). Bath rugs / entrance mats Vacuum-only or bypass DuoBrush Option to vacuum and remove debris, or skip cleaning to cover more areas quickly. Prevents overwetting and extends mat life. Yoga / play mats No-mop / vacuum-only mode DuoBrush Avoids overwetting to prevent odor/mildew. Maintains mat hygiene without moisture damage. Navigation & Smart Mapping L40s Ultra quickly maps your home using laser mapping (it can save up to 4 floor maps), and it adeptly identifies and navigates around common obstacles like furniture legs, toys, and cords in real time. Navigation is handled by Dreame’s Pathfinder™ LiDAR system, paired with a 3DAdapt™ obstacle avoidance sensor. This model forgoes an RGB camera in favor of a single-laser 3D structured light sensor on the front. This sensor projects infrared light to “see” objects in 3D. In our experience, it works remarkably well: the robot slows down and bypasses shoes, pet bowls, and even stray socks on the floor. You won’t get pet waste recognition without a camera, but the upside is that the L40s Ultra can clean in complete darkness (great for overnight runs) using lasers and IR alone. The accuracy of mapping is excellent: the generated floor plan in the app was precise, allowing us to set reliable no-go zones and room dividers. After the first mapping run, it never mistakenly bumped into marked no-go areas. Threshold Climbing A standout feature is Dreame’s new EasyLeap™ system for obstacle climbing. This robot has 4-wheel drive: two main drive wheels plus two front “auxiliary wheels” shaped like little claws. Working together, these allow the L40s Ultra to climb thresholds up to 1.57 in (40 mm) high – far higher than most robo vacs manage. It handled transitions like thick rug edges and even sliding door tracks without getting stuck. We watched it go over a 0.6in (15mm) tall door saddle effortlessly. If you have raised room dividers or older home layouts, this is a big plus. Maintenance & The Self-Cleaning Dock One of the L40s Ultra’s biggest advantages is its all-in-one “8-in-1” Smart Multifunctional PowerDock™, which handles almost all the dirty work: Automatic dust emptying: After each run, the dock vacuums debris from the robot into a 0.85 gal (3.2 L) bag, good for up to ~100 days. Suction is strong enough to pull fine dust from the filter, and the new dustbin captures 90% more dust per pass than prior models. Emptying is quick (~10s) though loud, and afterwards you simply toss the sealed bag when full. Water refilling & solution mixing: The dock houses two water tanks (1.19 gal clean, 1.06 gal dirty). The dock can refill the robot’s water tank on the fly, so the L40s Ultra mops large areas without stopping for you to manually add water. It also automatically adds floor cleaning solution in measured doses. The solution helps sanitize floors and break down grime. Mop self-washing with Hot Air: After mopping, the L40s Ultra scrubs its pads on a textured AceClean™ DryBoard with 167°F (75°C) water, then pumps waste into the dirty tank, achieving a 99% stain removal rate. An automatic hot-air cycle dries the pads within hours, preventing mildew or odors. Self-maintenance features: Dreame tries to minimize user upkeep. The dock periodically flushes its own pipes and has a scale inhibitor to reduce hard water buildup (useful if you have mineral-rich water). It also supports an optional water line hookup: you can connect the base to your home’s water supply and drain, so it will auto-refill clean water and auto-drain the dirty water without you ever touching the tanks. This kit is sold separately, though, and most people will be fine just refilling the tank every few days.  Are There Any Long-term Costs? Main consumables are the 0.85-gal dust bag, mop pads, and HEPA filter. Bags last about 3 months (3–4 per year) and are inexpensive. Mop pads are washable and can last over a year with heavy use. The HEPA filter can be rinsed but should be replaced annually. Upkeep is modest compared to traditional vac+mop setups, with weekly tasks limited to topping up clean water, adding solution, and emptying the dirty tank. App Experience & Customization The Dreamehome app (available for iOS/Android) is your command center for the L40s Ultra. Setting up the robot via the app was straightforward – you scan a QR code on the unit and it connects to Wi-Fi in seconds. In the app, you can view a live map of your home, split it into individual rooms, and rename those rooms however you like. The level of control and customization is excellent: You can set cleaning schedules (e.g. vacuum the living room and kitchen every morning at 9 AM, mop the foyer every other day in the evening, etc.). The app allows room-specific settings. You can set the L40s Ultra mop the kitchen with high water flow and two-pass scrubbing, while vacuuming the carpeted bedrooms with extra suction but no mopping. No-Go zones. If you have areas you want it to avoid (like pet feeding areas or a cluttered play corner), drawing these on the map is easy and very precise thanks to the accurate mapping. The robot respected these zones perfectly, which is reassuring. Customized cleaning modes. Through the app, you can choose from Quiet, Standard, Strong, and Turbo suction levels, and four mopping modes (from gentle to deep scrub with hot water). There’s even a setting for Intensive Carpet Cleaning (the robot will slow down and do a double vacuum on carpets) and Suction Boost toggle for carpets.  Notifications and alerts: The app will alert you when the dust bag is full or water is low, etc. You also get notified if the robot gets stuck (which, in our case, never happened during testing). The L40s Ultra even uses voice alerts; it speaks in a friendly voice when it starts cleaning, returns to dock, or if it encounters an issue. Integration with smart assistants is supported too; it's compatible with Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. The app’s interface is clean and intuitive, a plus for first-time robot owners. Each feature has little info tooltips explaining what it does, which helps in understanding things like “Mop drying time” or “Edge clean” options.  Noise Levels – Quiet or Not? In Quiet mode, we measured the sound at roughly a gentle 55 dB – about the level of a normal conversation in the next room. In this mode, it’s unobtrusive and could run at night if needed (especially since its obstacle avoidance doesn’t need lights). Standard mode bumps it up to around the low 60s dB, still quite tolerable – you’ll know a vacuum is running, but you can watch TV or talk over it.  In Turbo (Max) for deep cleaning, we noted about 70–72 dB right at the vacuum, which is loud but not surprising given the power (a typical upright vacuum is 75+ dB). The robot uses Max power only when necessary (like on carpets or very dirty spots) and for short durations. One nice touch: The dual-brush system runs quietly, avoiding the high-pitched whine common on hard floors. The dock’s dust-emptying is loud (~80 dB) but lasts under 15 seconds, while mop washing/drying are much quieter. You can schedule self-cleaning for when you’re out. In summary, the L40s Ultra is apartment-friendly in terms of noise.  Battery Life On a full charge, the L40s Ultra can clean for up to 220 minutes (over 3.5 hours) in quiet vacuum mode. That means it could vacuum and mop an entire large house (up to ~3,000+ sq ft) on one charge, especially since it returns to base to reload water as needed. Even in a balanced “Standard” mode, expect around 2 to 2.5 hours of runtime, which covers ~1,800 sq ft main level with battery to spare. If you live in a smaller space like an apartment, battery life is a non-issue. For mixed cleaning (vacuuming and mopping with higher suction bursts on carpet), you get around 140–160 minutes per charge, which is still excellent. And if the battery does run low mid-job, the Dreame L40s Ultra will perform “Recharge and Resume”: it drives back to the dock, charges up to an adequate level, then continues cleaning right where it left off.  Charging is 30% faster than previous-gen Dreame models. From empty to full takes roughly 4 hours. Energy efficiency is worth touching on: despite its large battery, the L40s Ultra uses only a few kWh per month—even with daily cleaning and hot drying—adding just $1–$2 to your electric bill. That’s minimal for a device replacing both a vacuum and a mop. Price & Value The Dreame L40s Ultra comes in at a premium price of $1,399.99 MSRP. There’s no sugar-coating that this is a significant investment – it’s in the upper echelon of robot vacuum pricing, on par with other flagship “vacuum and mop with auto-clean dock” models on the market. The question is, do the features and performance justify the cost? [product handle="l40s-ultra-robot-vacuum" rating="4.5"] For tech enthusiasts or those with large homes, the value is definitely there. You are essentially getting several appliances in one: a top-of-the-line vacuum, a floor mopping robot, an automated vacuum dirt bin, a mop washer, and even a part-time air dryer (with the mop drying functionality). If you tried to assemble a similar setup piecemeal, you’d either spend more or end up with a lot more hassle. The L40s Ultra truly takes over the daily floor cleaning routine. There’s a convenience factor here that, once you experience it, is hard to give up. For pet owners and allergy sufferers, the L40s Ultra’s value is even higher. The high suction and tangle-free dual brushes mean it picks up pet hair and dander exceptionally well, and the auto-empty base seals the dust in a bag so it doesn’t puff back into your air. The hot water mop washing also ensures any bacteria from pet messes on the floor are cleaned off the pads hygienically. If you have multiple shedding pets or messy toddlers, this robot can be a game-changer for keeping up with the constant dirt. If you live in a small space or on a tight budget, Dreame offers several models in the L40 lineup that forego some of the luxury features like the mop washing or the extreme suction.  The L40s Ultra is priced competitively for a flagship 2-in-1, often undercutting rivals with less suction or no hot water mopping. Solid build quality, a 3-year US warranty, and all-in-one performance make it a strong long-term value. Value verdict: For those who will utilize its full capabilities, the Dreame L40s Ultra is worth every penny. It’s an investment in a cleaner home and free time gained. Final Verdict The Dreame L40s Ultra is a dream come true for clean floors. It delivers an exceptional blend of raw cleaning power, intelligent features, and true autonomy. After living with it, it’s hard to imagine going back to vacuuming and mopping manually – or even to a simpler robot that still needs frequent intervention. This unit genuinely takes care of itself and keeps your home tidier on a daily basis than most people could manage on their own. It’s particularly well-suited for: Large homes: The huge battery life, fast mapping, and ability to empty and refill itself mean it can handle big cleaning areas, multi-level layouts, and long cleaning sessions with ease. Pet owners: If you have dogs or cats, the L40s Ultra will make your life easier. It handles pet hair without tangling, cleans up tracked litter or kibble, and even mops away paw prints and the occasional accident. Busy families & professionals: Anyone with a hectic schedule will love the “set it and forget it” nature of this robot. Tech aficionados: If you appreciate smart home tech, this robot will satisfy your cravings with its high-end specs and integration options. It’s on the cutting edge. Dreame set out to build an ultimate robot vacuum and mop, and they pretty much nailed it.

It's compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri Shortcuts for voice control.

Cleaning your house can feel like a never-ending task, especially when life is busy. Between work, family, pets, and everything else, it’s easy to fall behind or feel overwhelmed. But you don’t need to scrub for hours to get results. With the right approach and smarter tools, you can clean efficiently and thoroughly without sacrificing your weekend. Let’s dive into expert-backed strategies to make cleaning faster, easier, and more satisfying. Essential Cleaning Tools to Use Before you start your routine, gather the tools that will make your cleaning faster and more effective. Professionals know that the right gear isn’t just about power, it’s also having everything you need within reach, from quick dust-ups to deep cleaning sessions. Your go-to toolkit should include: Manual Tools Microfiber cloths (great for dusting, wiping, and streak-free finishes) Extendable duster (for ceiling fans, vents, and tall furniture) Scrub brush and old toothbrush (for grout, sinks, and tight corners) Toilet brush Rubber gloves (to protect your hands from chemicals and grime) Garbage bags and a donation box (decluttering is half the battle) Baking soda and vinegar (natural, multi-purpose cleaning staples) Glass cleaner and multi-surface spray For those who prefer a more natural approach, these DIY homemade floor cleaner recipes offer safe, effective alternatives to store-bought solutions. Electric & Specialty Tools Cordless vacuum (for everyday debris and floor care) Wet dry vacuum or mop (for handling both wet and dry messes) HEPA air purifier (to keep indoor air fresh and reduce allergens) Pro Tip: Keep your most-used supplies in a portable caddy or bin so you can move from room to room without stopping to hunt things down. Room-by-Room House Cleaning Checklist Cleaning your entire home doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Think of your house in zones. When you break tasks down room by room, it’s easier to stay on track and build a routine. Living Room Dust high and low surfaces. Pay attention to ceiling fans, shelves, and baseboards. Wipe down electronics with a microfiber cloth. Finish by vacuuming the floor and under the furniture. Bedroom Start by stripping the bed and tossing linens into the laundry. Dust nightstands, headboards, and dressers. Don’t forget to clean behind the furniture, then vacuum or mop the floor. Kitchen Clear and wipe down countertops. Clean the sink with disinfectant and degrease stove areas. Finish by mopping or vacuuming the floor. Take out the trash and disinfect the bin. The Dreame L50 Ultra vacuums and mops in one go, navigating tight spaces and corners for a fully automated clean. It’s perfect for daily upkeep in high-traffic areas. Bathroom Disinfect the toilet, sink, and shower or tub. Use a scrub brush on grout lines and corners. Clean mirrors with a streak-free solution. Finally, sanitize handles and light switches. Entryways and Hallways Wipe down doors and light switches. Shake out rugs and sweep or vacuum floors. When you take a systematic approach to each space, you’ll get better results and avoid the temptation to skip steps. Most importantly, finish one room before moving to the next. Create Your Cleaning Plan The difference between a rushed job and a professional-level clean often comes down to having a solid plan. Here’s how to structure your workflow like a pro. Use this simplified visual checklist as a guide: Room Tasks Focus Areas Entryway Remove shoes, sweep, sanitize handles Doormat, handles, visible scuffs Living Room Dust, clean surfaces, vacuum/mop Couch cushions, under furniture Kitchen Degrease, wipe, disinfect, clean floors Countertops, sink, appliances Bathroom Disinfect, scrub, polish surfaces Toilet base, faucet, shower grout Bedroom Dust, vacuum, change linens Under bed, windowsills, lamps Air Quality Replace filters, vacuum vents Bedroom and living room zones The Dreame Z20 features powerful suction and an illuminated soft-roller brush that lifts dust and debris right up to baseboards for a truly edge-to-edge clean.For extra help maintaining clean air, especially in homes with pets or allergies, a high-efficiency purifier like the Dreame Air Purifier PM2.0 quietly filters out fine dust, dander, and airborne bacteria so your space not only looks clean, but feels healthier too. How to Clean Your House Fast and Efficiently Sometimes you don’t have hours to spare. Whether guests are on the way or life just feels chaotic, speed cleaning can be a lifesaver. Here’s how to clean fast without cutting corners: Declutter First Spend five minutes picking up items from the floor and surfaces. Put dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher, and toss out any obvious trash. Set a Timer Give yourself a strict deadline for each task. For example, 10 minutes for the bathroom and 15 for the kitchen. Race the clock to stay focused. Start with What’s Visible Wipe counters, fluff pillows, and clean anything guests will immediately notice. If you can squeeze it in, run the vacuum or mop in high-traffic areas only. Use Multitasking Products Choose cleaning sprays that work on multiple surfaces and tools that clean as they go. Wet dry vacuums like the Dreame H15 ProHeat vacuum and mop in one pass while breaking down tough stains with heated water, cutting your cleaning time in half. Work in Sections Instead of jumping between rooms, focus on one small zone at a time. A clean corner is better than half-cleaned chaos. Deep Cleaning Essentials Deep cleaning goes beyond everyday maintenance. It targets buildup in places you rarely look, such as behind the fridge, under the couch, and inside appliances. The key difference between regular and deep cleaning is attention to detail. You’re not just wiping visible dirt; you’re tackling grime, bacteria, and allergens where they tend to hide. Here are a few examples of what deep cleaning includes: Washing baseboards and walls Cleaning inside the oven and refrigerator Descaling faucets and showerheads Shampooing rugs and upholstery Scrubbing tile grout and resealing if needed Schedule a deep cleaning session every month or quarter, depending on how fast your home gets messy. How to Keep Your House Clean Once your home is clean, the next challenge is keeping it that way. A maintenance routine helps prevent messes from piling up and makes deep cleaning easier down the line. Here’s a simple task list to keep your home in shape: Daily🗹 Make the bed🗹 Wipe kitchen counters🗹 Wash dishes or load dishwasher🗹 Do a 10-minute tidy before bed Weekly🗹 Vacuum and mop floors🗹 Change bed linens🗹 Sanitize high-touch surfaces🗹 Take out all trash and recycling For easy weekly upkeep, the Dreame Z30 delivers robust 310 AW suction, edge cleaning, smart dirt detection, and pet-friendly tools,making routine maintenance faster and more effective Monthly🗹 Clean air vents🗹 Wipe baseboards🗹 Wash windows🗹 Organize closets and drawers Common House Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid Even with the best intentions, cleaning mistakes can make your home look messier or even damage your surfaces. Small habits, like using the wrong products or skipping key areas, can quietly undo all your hard work.  If you want a complete breakdown of how to clean your floors without the risk of damaging them with harsh chemicals or the wrong vacuum brush, check out this detailed floor cleaning guide from Dreame. Here is a list of what to look out for during cleaning: Using Too Much Product More isn’t always better. Excess cleaner can leave streaks or residue that attracts dust. Cleaning Surfaces in the Wrong Order Always clean high to low. Otherwise, dust will fall on already-clean areas. Experts at Homes & Gardens agree with the method, recommending that you start with high surfaces like ceiling fans and end with floors to prevent allergens from resettling and to reduce cleaning time overall. Skipping the Floors Floors collect the most dirt. Even a quick pass with a vacuum makes a big difference. Ignoring Soft Surfaces Curtains, cushions, and rugs trap odors and dust. Clean them at least monthly. Reusing Dirty Rags Bacteria can spread quickly through used cloths. Always switch to a clean one between rooms. FAQ 1. What’s the fastest way to clean a house? Work top to bottom, remember one room at a time. Dust, wipe, then vacuum. Use a robot vacuum to save time. 2. How often should I clean my house? We recommend doing light cleaning weekly, deep cleaning monthly. More often if you have pets or allergies. 3. How to clean a house with pets? Vacuum daily with a pet-friendly model. Use lint rollers, wash pet beds weekly, and clean up messes fast. 4. What’s the best order to clean a house? Start high (fans, shelves), then furniture and floors. Don’t forget to clean dry before wet. Conclusion Cleaning your house like a pro isn’t about perfection. It’s about consistency, using the right tools, and building smart systems that work for your lifestyle. By following this guide, you’ll spend less time scrubbing and more time actually enjoying your space. Ready to take your home care to the next level?
