There are a few things you can do to get your Roomba to clean certain rooms. The first thing you can do is make sure that the room you want cleaned is clear of any obstacles. This will help the Roomba move around more easily and prevent it from getting stuck.
You can also try using virtual walls to block off areas where you don’t want the Roomba to go. Finally, you can use the scheduling feature on your Roomba to set specific times for it to clean certain rooms.
- Purchase a Roomba that is compatible with your home’s flooring type and layout
- Choose the room or rooms you would like Roomba to focus on cleaning
- Create virtual barriers using the included infrared remote control or the app (if applicable) to keep Roomba focused on certain areas and out of others
- Press ‘Clean’ or schedule cleanings via the app and let Roomba do its job!

Can You Program Roomba to Clean Specific Rooms?
Yes, you can program Roomba to clean specific rooms. You can do this by creating virtual barriers using the included Lighthouse beacon devices. Once you’ve placed the beacons in strategic locations, Roomba will know which areas are off-limits and will avoid them when cleaning.
How Do I Get Roomba to Avoid Certain Areas?
If you want your Roomba to avoid certain areas, there are a few things you can do. One option is to use virtual wall barriers. You can place these barriers around areas that you don’t want the Roomba to go.
Another option is to use tape or other physical obstacles to block off areas. You can also create no-go zones in the Roomba’s app, which will tell the robot where not to go. Finally, you can manually move the Roomba around when it’s in an area you don’t want it to be.
How Do I Set Up Roomba Zones?
Assuming you would like a blog post discussing how to set up Roomba zones:
Setting up Roomba Zones
The idea of having a robot vacuum is very appealing.
You can just set it and forget it, right? Well, almost. In order to get the most out of your Roomba, you need to learn how to properly set up zones.
This will help your little friend clean your home more efficiently and avoid any accidents.
Here’s everything you need to know about setting up zones for your Roomba:
What are zoning boundaries?
Zoning boundaries are lines that you draw on your floor using special beacons or magnets. These lines tell your Roomba where it can and cannot go. You can use them to create virtual walls or keep your Roomba away from certain areas altogether.
For example, if you have a pet bowl that always seems to be in the way, you could use a boundary line to keep the Roomba away from it.
Beacons vs. Magnets
Beacons are small devices that emit an infrared signal.
You place them on the floor and they communicate with your Roomba, telling it where the boundaries are. Magnets are much simpler – they’re just strips of magnet tape that you attach to the floor (you can also buy them already affixed to adhesive strips). The downside of using magnets is that they’re not as reliable as beacons – if something disrupts the magnetic field (like a rug), the Roomba might not detect the boundary line correctly.
Creating Your Zones
Once you’ve decided what kind of boundaries you want to use, it’s time to start setting them up! If you’re using beacons, each beacon needs its own AA battery before it will start working. Once they’re all powered up, place them around your room in strategic locations – remember, these will be the corners of your virtual walls so make sure they’re placed accordingly! If you’re using magnets, simply stick them down on the floor following whatever design you desire for your zones. Once all of your boundary markers are in place, test them out by starting up your Roomba and seeing if it recognizes the lines correctly – if not, make adjustments as necessary until everything looks good.
