To use a robot floor cleaner to clean an outdoor patio, start by removing any large clutters from the area that may damage the vacuum. Then set up virtual boundaries on the paired app to prevent the auto vacuum from venturing into unwanted areas. Ensure that the docking station is placed indoors, and the smart vacuum cleaner is fully charged. Next, turn on the robot vacuum and let it clean the patio. Once finished, empty the dustbin and store the self-cleaning vacuum indoors.
