How Often Should You Clean Your Automower®?
Husqvarna recommends a light clean every 1–2 weeks, with a more thorough clean once a month — especially during heavy use.
You may need to clean more frequently if:
Your lawn is wet or muddy
You have pets using the yard
The mower is cutting dense, fast-growing grass
You notice buildup under the deck or near the wheels
Tools You’ll Need
Avoid high-pressure hoses or strong chemicals — instead, use these gentle tools:
Soft brush (a clean paintbrush or toothbrush works well)
Plastic scraper or wooden spatula
Damp microfiber cloth
Mild detergent (optional)
Gloves for safety
The Husqvarna Automower Cleaning Kit, is a handy kit to use to maintain your Automower.
❌ Avoid: High-pressure washers, alcohol wipes, or soaking the unit in water. These can damage seals and electronic components.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide
1. Turn Off and Unplug the Mower
Always switch the main power off and remove the mower from its charging station.
2. Flip It Safely
Place it on a soft towel or mat. Don’t rest it on the cutting blades directly.
3. Remove Grass from the Deck
Use your scraper or spatula to gently lift off built-up grass and mud around the cutting disc.
4. Brush the Wheels and Axles
Grass often winds around the wheel hubs — use a dry brush to clean these areas thoroughly.
5. Clean Sensors and Charging Contacts
Wipe around the perimeter sensors and charging pads with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid pressing water near openings or electronics.
6. Wipe Down the Body
Use a damp microfiber cloth to remove dust and pollen from the outer shell.
Extra Cleaning Tips
Let mud dry before scraping to avoid smearing
Never submerge or hose the unit
Inspect the blades while cleaning — replace if worn or nicked
Use a soft toothbrush for tight areas around sensors and wheels
Clean the charging station contacts periodically for better performance
