A-007: Disinfecting an Ava Robot

Updated August 2024

In most environments, Ava can be cleaned using a lens cloth to gently wipe the sensors, screen and camera lens. 


This Tech Note lists recommendations for disinfecting an Ava Robot (model AVA-01) for environments that require deeper cleaning or disinfection. Please email support@avarobotics.com if you have any questions.


Cleaning and Disinfecting

We recommend wiping Ava’s shells, screen, and sensors with cleaners and disinfectants that contain Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride. Ava Robotics uses Lysol All Purpose Cleaner. 


Isopropyl Alcohol up to 70% is safe for the Ava Robot's surface. Above 70%, some discoloration may occur but no functional damage is expected.


We do not recommend acetone or bleach based cleaners as they can cause discoloration and chemical damage.


For general cleaning, apply the cleaning agent to a soft, lint-free cloth and wipe Ava’s surfaces. We do not recommend spraying the cleaner directly onto Ava’s screen or sensors. As dust accumulates, a lens cloth is recommended to gently wipe the sensors, screen, and camera lens.


Cleaning Agents Safe for Use on Ava

  • Clorox Disinfecting Wipes

  • Lysol All Purpose Cleaner

  • Lysol Multi-Surface Cleaner

  • Lysol Disinfecting Wipes

  • 409 Multi-Surface Cleaner

  • Other cleaners with Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride as the active ingredient

  • Isopropyl Alcohol up to 70%

  • Spor-Klenz


Cleaning Agents Not Recommended for Use on Ava

The following agents are not safe for the coating of Ava's shells. Ava Robotics is not responsible for damage or discoloration of the Ava Robot as a result of use of these agents:


  • Bleach based cleaners (sodium hypochlorite), such as Clorox Bleach

  • Other cleaners that contain sodium hypochlorite

  • Alcohol based cleaners higher than 70% 

  • Acetone
