Floor Thresholds & Toe Kick Cleaning

How does Matic detect and clean toe kicks?

Toe kicks are the recessed spaces at the base of cabinets and furniture. Matic uses its 3D vision to detect and clean these areas automatically during a standard clean.

How Matic classifies spaces by height:

• Under 20cm — detected as a toe kick; Matic will attempt to clean underneath
• 20–22cm — detected as a high toe kick; Matic still attempts to clean under high toe kicks but approaches more cautiously
• Over 22.5cm — detected as free space; Matic navigates and cleans normally

How toe kick cleaning works:

Matic drives as deep as possible under the toe kick to clean, using soft physical contact to guide itself. It only cleans toe kicks that are wider than 30cm — narrower spaces are skipped to avoid getting stuck and to keep cleaning times reasonable.

Toe kicks are skipped in Quick Clean mode. If you want toe kicks cleaned, use Standard or Heavy-Duty mode.

For more suction near toe kicks:

Heavy-Duty mode uses higher vacuum power. You can also use Custom Clean to draw an area over the toe kick and run it in Heavy-Duty mode for extra cleaning power in that specific spot.

Floor transitions & thresholds:

Matic can cross floor thresholds and transitions of up to 2.25 cm in height. Anything higher than this may cause the rear caster wheel to get stuck.
