The difference between owners who love Optimus for cleaning and those who don't comes down to workflow design. Random 'clean the house' commands fail; zone rotations succeed.

Building your zone schedule

Assign one or two zones per day. This matches professional cleaning patterns and prevents Optimus from running low on battery mid-task.

Vacuum setup

Attach the HEPA Vacuum Kit before your first cleaning session
Map high-traffic paths explicitly — Optimus prioritizes these
Schedule vacuum runs during family-out times for quieter operation
Swap microfiber mop pads weekly — machine washable

Laundry workflow

Set a folding station with the Folding Laundry Board in the laundry room
Optimus transports baskets, folds using the board template, and puts away
Assign laundry days: wash Mon/Wed/Fri, fold daily as baskets fill

Guest mode (Firmware 3.2+) runs a 20-minute living-area tidy before visitors. Enable it for every family with regular guests.
