Do self-washing mop robots actually work for pet stains?

Yes, they work. The mop head scrubs, rinses itself in the dock, then goes back out—no wringing a dirty rag. For pet stains, the difference is night and day: a regular robot vacuum smears wet paw prints, but these bots wash the pad mid-cycle so it’s not dragging muddy water. Pet models add odor-eating pads and stronger suction that pull dried crud off grout lines.
