How to edit floor types

Matic automatically detects carpet and hard floor as it maps your home. If anything looks off, you can correct it manually using the Edit Floor Types option.

If you would like to Edit Floor Types

  1. Open the Matic app and go to the Edit Map tab.
  2. Tap Edit, then select Edit Floor Types.
  3. Review your map. Dotted areas represent carpet, shaded areas represent hard floor.
  4. To make a change, tap the pencil icon in the top right corner.
  5. Draw over the area you want to update, then tap Label as Carpet or Label as Hard Floor.

To ensure Matic mops only hard floors and does not miss any areas, make sure the floor types on your map are labeled correctly.

If you manually labeled an area as carpet for a movable rug, Matic will continue treating that area as carpet even after the rug is gone, since Matic only updates floor detection automatically for areas it identifies on its own, not for areas you've labeled manually. If you remove a rug you had previously labeled, you can reset that area to let Matic detect it on its own again:

  1. Go to Review and Edit My Changes.
  2. Select the area you want to remove the override from.
  3. Tap Reset This Area to use Matic's self-detection.

Note: Manual labels override Matic's automatic detection

Understanding the Floor Type Map

The floor type map uses shading and color to show different surface types:

  • Dotted — carpet
  • Shaded — hard floor
