I've been cleaning everything that I can think of. Today I did the bathroom and mopped the floors. Before I started I let the Roomba go through the entire apartment once (on Sunday) and through my two cleaning zones (two cycles, one for each zone) earlier in the day. What I noticed was that there was next to no dirt on the floor when I mopped. Normally there's tons of hair and stuff even after vacuuming. Given, there were some big dust bunnies in areas where I can only reach if I put the mop along the floor (with my very flat mop), but those areas used to be dirty when I used a regular vacuum cleaner too. Oh, and this means that my Roomba is OK after the incident earlier this month. I started my xmas cleaning today. I’ve been cleaning everything that I can think of.

I casually set it to clean the entire flat when I left for work in the morning. What I had forgotten was that I had left my two cell phone chargers on the floor in the bedroom. When I came home the cords on both chargers had become stuck in the brushes of the Roomba, which had tried to "drive away" from the cables and then shut itself down when it failed to do so. Since the cables were so thin, they'd been partially sucked into the dirt bin and the brushes had even peeled off a piece of the outer rubber tube on one of the cables. This also caused some minor damage to the rubber brush. I had my first “incident” with the Roomba the other day. I casually set it to clean the entire flat when I left for work in the morning.
