Preparing Your Roomba J5+ for Zone Cleaning

Before starting, ensure your Roomba J5+ is fully charged and connected to your Wi-Fi network. Download the iRobot Home app on your smartphone or tablet, available for both iOS and Android devices. Open the app and connect your robot if you haven’t already done so.

  • Choose the “Map” option to view your home’s layout.
  • Identify the area you want to target for focused cleaning.
  • Tap on the “Create Zone” or “Add Zone” button.

Use your finger or mouse to draw a rectangle around the desired area on the map. Adjust the zone boundaries as needed for precision.

Saving and Naming Your Zone

After defining the zone:

  • Tap “Save” to store the zone.
  • Give your zone a descriptive name, such as “Kitchen” or “Living Room.”
  • Repeat the process to create additional zones if necessary.

Starting a Focused Zone Cleaning

To clean a specific zone:

  • Go to the main screen of the app.
  • Select the “Clean” button.

Additional Tips for Effective Zone Cleaning

Ensure your home map is updated regularly for accurate zone placement. Re-map your home if you move furniture or make significant layout changes. Use the app to monitor cleaning progress and make adjustments to zone boundaries as needed.

For best results, clear the targeted area of obstacles before starting the cleaning cycle. This helps your Roomba J5+ navigate efficiently and clean thoroughly.
