For a Roomba s Series, separate the bin and filter before deciding what may be washed. The maker’s s Series instructions distinguish these parts; removable does not mean washable. Keep the filter clearly apart from the bin-care area and follow the exact model guide before returning the assembled bin to service.
That’s the whole rule. If you’d rather not be the one auditing bottles — we bring our own, eco-friendly by default, and we follow whatever note you leave on your booking. Message us and we’ll send a price for your place.
Identify the series before handling loose parts
Read the machine’s identification rather than relying on the appearance of a spare part. If another robot shares the household, keep its components in a separate place. A photo of the normal assembly can help preserve the arrangement, but it does not replace the operating guide.
Use separate locations for the two tasks
iRobot’s s Series care page permits rinsing the bin after removing the filter and states that the filter must not be washed. Set the filter outside the washing area before starting. Avoid a shared bowl of loose parts that invites someone to rinse everything together.
Account for every component at reassembly
Keep an unfinished-maintenance note with the machine so an automated cleaning plan is not mistaken for readiness. Check the guide’s drying and refitting instructions and confirm that the correct filter has returned to its location. If a part cannot be identified, stop and consult model support.
