The company that gave us the button-cute Roomba robotic floor vacuum has now unleashed Scooba, a smart mop that further shortens the list of domestic duties. In one pass, Scooba can pick up loose dirt and debris, lay down a cleaning solution, scrub the floor and then squeegee it dry, according to iRobot. Scooba uses two ounces of a special, bleach-free Clorox cleaner with the rest of the tank filled with water.
