How Mint Cleans

Mint intelligently cleans your floor by mapping the room as it cleans.

Mint’s Cleaning Cycle

Mint starts by cleaning open areas, cleaning first to the right and returning later to clean the area to the left, covering the floor section by section.
When open areas are complete, Mint cleans along edges of furniture and walls with the side of the cleaning cloth.
When finished, Mint returns to where it started and parks itself.

Tip: The first time you clean, start Mint in an open area to get a sense of how it maneuvers.

NorthStar® Navigation

The NorthStar Navigation Cube acts as a beacon, emitting a signal that guides Mint’s cleaning.

When Mint detects the signal, it tries to establish a connection to the NorthStar Navigation Cube, indicated by one flashing blue light on the Navigation System Indicator. Once Mint has locked onto the Cube, the light turns solid blue.
The Navigation System Indicator also indicates Mint’s range. As Mint gets to the edge of its range (such as going out of the room or far from the NorthStar Navigation Cube) the number of lights will go down.
Mint may occasionally drive back toward the NorthStar Navigation Cube to confirm its position before continuing on its cleaning path.
Mint builds a new map each time it starts a new cleaning cycle. Please note that
if you stop or move Mint mid-cycle it will clear its map and create a new one when you restart it.

Note: Because the Cube is just one part of the NorthStar Navigation System, Mint can still clean without the Cube present, however the cleaning area will be smaller and Mint will not be able to perform edge cleaning at the end of the cleaning cycle.

Tip: Use Mint without the NorthStar Cube for a quick clean in small areas like bathrooms.

How Mint Cleans Cont’d

In open areas, Mint methodically cleans back and forth across your floor.

Mint starts where you place it and works its way out from there, cleaning as far
as it can reliably go and automatically adjusting to new areas it discovers.

As Mint encounters chair legs, furniture and other obstacles it cleans around them and then continues its cleaning pattern. Mint will periodically return to areas it skipped before continuing on.

Mint detects stairs and will maneuver away from drop offs and back to the cleaning area.

Mint also detects area rugs and raised transitions to carpet so it can avoid driving onto them.

Note: If your carpet is flush with your hard surface floor, you may need to add a temporary barrier to provide Mint a boundary it can detect.

Mint follows along walls and edges as it encounters them and at the end of its cleaning cycle.

Sweep and Mop Modes



Mint sweeps and mops hard surface floors using readily available dry and wet cleaning cloths or the included reusable microfiber cloths. See page 12 for additional information about cleaning cloths.

Sweep mode is intended for cleaning with a dry cloth.
In sweep mode, Mint moves ahead in a straight line when it begins cleaning, then cleans back and forth in parallel lines.
It is ideal for picking up dust, dirt and hair to maintain clean, grit-free floors every day.

Mop mode is intended for cleaning with a wet cloth.
In mop mode, Mint drives forward a short distance to one side, backs up slightly then moves forward to the other side, alternating to the left and right as it progresses.

This mopping action helps dissolve and pick up the deeper dirt and grime on your floors.
Mint automatically adjusts to a smaller cleaning area in mop mode to optimize cleaning while the cloth is wet.

Tip: Start with dry sweep mode to pick up surface grit and then follow with a wet cloth in mopping mode to get a deeper clean.

Sweep and Mop Modes Cont’d

Notice: Mint is not a vacuum and is not intended to pick up large debris. Pick up large debris before cleaning with Mint and check for gravel or sharp objects that could scratch the floor if captured under the cleaning pad.

Cleaning Cloths

Mint is compatible with most disposable dry and pre-moistened wet cleaning cloths such as Swiffer brand and store brands like Target

Please note that Mint is not compatible with Swiffer® WetJet® Refills.
Microfiber cloths that are designed to work with Mint can also be used. These cloths can be rewashed and reused. Different cloths are available for different types of cleaning. To learn more visit www.mintcleaner.com.
Tip: Always follow the use and care instructions included with any dry or wet cleaning cloths to care for your floors.

Floor Types
Mint is designed to clean hard surface floors including wood, tile, vinyl, linoleum and laminate.
Mint cleans best on smooth hard surfaces and may not perform on uneven tiles, heavily waxed floors or rough surfaces like slate or brick which can snag the cleaning cloth.

Mint is intended for indoor, household use only.
Mint is not a vacuum and is not intended for use on carpets.

Notice: Wet cloths may not be suitable for cleaning unsealed floors. Refer to the instructions included with wet cloths and solutions to determine if they are safe for your floor.

Operating Mint
Put On a Cleaning Cloth
Set Mint on its end and remove the cleaning pad.
Attach a dry or wet cleaning cloth to the cleaning pad:
Lay the removable pad on an open cleaning cloth.
Attach cloth by tucking it into the gripping strips on both sides.
Re-attach the removable cleaning pad. Magnets will help it snap back into place.


Caution:Make sure the cleaning
cloth does not drape into the middle channel between the gripping strips as this could impede sensor functions and safe operation.

Operating Mint Cont’d
Place the NorthStar® Cube

Press the button on the back corner of the NorthStar Navigation Cube to turn it on. A blue light will flash on the opposite corner when turned on, and then go solid when Mint locks onto it.
If you forget to turn the Cube on, Mint will send a signal to try to turn it on. If Mint is successful, the blue flashing light will appear on the Cube.

Note: You can set up additional Cubes (sold separately) to cover different areas in your home. If two Cubes are in range, Mint will lock onto the one with the strongest signal and clean that area. The other Cube will automatically shut off.


Place the NorthStar Navigation Cube on a table or counter top, pointing the blue light away from walls and toward the middle of the room.

For Best Results
Place the NorthStar Navigation Cube where it has a clear view of the ceiling (for example, no cabinet or shelf directly above it).
Do not move the NorthStar Navigation Cube once Mint has started cleaning as it may impair Mint’s cleaning performance.
Do not put the NorthStar Navigation Cube on the floor as the cleaner may run into it and move it.
