In 2025, the market for automated cleaning solutions is experiencing rapid growth. Companies of all sizes, from small businesses to federal corporations, are actively implementing robots for professional cleaning, optimizing costs, improving service quality, and minimizing dependence on the human factor.
According to TechnoStrategy 2025 analytics, demand for robotic cleaning systems has grown by 67% compared to 2023. The segment of robots for cleaning premises is developing particularly rapidly in areas such as:
warehouses and logistics complexes — where speed and contactless cleaning are important;
office spaces and coworking spaces — with high cleanliness requirements;
shopping centers, stores, and hypermarkets — with high foot traffic and heavy wear on flooring;
medical facilities and clinics — where compliance with sanitary standards is critical.
A modern cleaning robot for business is not just a machine with brushes and a water tank. It is a high-tech device with artificial intelligence, capable of navigating space, avoiding obstacles, working on a schedule, and even sending reports on the work done to the cloud.
Traditional cleaning requires ongoing costs: for staff, equipment, consumables, and quality control. Robotic solutions reduce costs by up to 60% and allow you to:
clean premises around the clock without breaks or sick leave;
monitor the process through cloud systems in real time;
achieve consistent quality regardless of the human factor;
expand your business without increasing your cleaning staff.
That is why in 2025, purchasing or renting a cleaning robot will become not just a profitable investment, but an element of competitive strategy. More and more entrepreneurs are asking themselves: which cleaning robot to choose, where to buy reliable equipment, and how to integrate it into current processes?
Why are cleaning robots becoming increasingly popular? Rising personnel costs and staff shortages in the cleaning industry are making traditional approaches less and less effective. Cleaning robots:
work 24/7 without breaks or sick days,
eliminate human error,
save up to 60% on personnel costs,
pay for themselves within 6–12 months,
provide consistent and predictable cleaning quality.
According to an analytical report by Waybot Robotics, by the end of 2025, the penetration rate of automated cleaning in the B2B segment will exceed 55%.
Types of cleaning robots
Modern robots vary in functionality and purpose. Below are the main categories.
Vacuum cleaning robots
Used in business centers, hotels, museums, and schools. They handle daily dry cleaning of dust and small debris.
Floor cleaning robots
Suitable for wet and combined cleaning of hard surfaces. Ideal for shopping centers, medical facilities, train stations, and warehouses.
Important: models such as the Cleanbotics 400 PRO perform two functions at once — dry and wet cleaning — without the need to change modules.
Autonomous robots with AI and self-service These devices independently:
charge at the docking station,
collect water and cleaning agents,
transmit reports to the cloud system,
determine the need for maintenance.
How to choose a robot vacuum cleaner: 7 key parameters
Determine the number of square meters for regular cleaning. For example:
Area of the facility, m² | Suitable model |
Up to 2,000 | Compact Cleanbotics 400 |
From 3,000 to 6,000 | Cleanbotics 600 or equivalent |
Over 6,000 | Large industrial models with high power |
Specify what types of surfaces the robot works on:
tiles,
linoleum,
concrete,
carpet.
The best models automatically adjust to the type of floor and regulate the pressure of the brushes.
Cleaning modes Important features:
night mode (silent operation),
zone scheduling,
spot cleaning function,
manual control via tablet.
Service and support Availability of an official service center in the region, supply of spare parts, repair time, warranty terms.
Cloud management and APIIf you have a network of facilities, centralized management via the Internet and the ability to integrate into a “smart building” system are important.
Cost of ownershipConsider not only the purchase price, but also:
rental cost,
service costs,
consumables costs.
Manufacturer | Country | Model | Price, ₽ | Cleaning area, m² | Maintenance |
Waybot Robotics | Russia | Cleanbotics 400 PRO | 1 500 000 | up to 4,000 | Subscription 30,000 ₽ |
LionsBot | Singapore | Rex CS | from 2,200,000 | to 8,000 | Separately |
Gaomei | China | GM50 | from 1,900,000 | to 5,000 | Separately |
Tennant T7AMR | USA | T7 | from 4,000,000 | to 12,000 | Through a distributor |
Should you buy or rent a cleaning robot? Renting is a flexible option that works well for small and medium-sized businesses:
- no big investment,
- comes with a warranty and service,
- and you can try it out before you buy.
Parameter | Rental | Purchase |
Start-up costs | from 50,000 ₽ | from 1.5 million ₽ |
Service | Included | By subscription or separately |
Warranty | For the entire rental period | 2 years |
Operation | Carefree | Partially on the client |
Purchase after lease | Available | — |

Modern cleaning robots do not require daily attention. On average:
brush replacement — once every 3 months,
detergent refill — once every 5–7 days,
debris removal — as needed (automatic notification).
The control interface is intuitive, most often in the form of a tablet with cloud access. No special qualifications are required — a short training course is sufficient.
Sklifosovsky Research Institute (Moscow): automation of corridor and reception area cleaning. 38% reduction in costs, fewer patient complaints about cleanliness.
Tatneft Headquarters (Almetyevsk): night cleaning of offices and meeting rooms. Improved sanitary standards.
Rameev IT Park (Kazan): cleaning of public spaces, integration into the building's BMS.
Choose wisely — automate your cleaning today.
