Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a self-propelled and self-steering floor-cleaning device, wherein at least one map of at least one room to be cleaned and a cleaning plan, which can be specified by a user and which comprises one or more cleaning tasks, can be stored in a memory unit of the floor-cleaning device, wherein at least one cleaning task is associated with a certain room, which can be identified on the basis of a map, and the floor-cleaning device is placed in a room. In order to provide such a method that enables efficient execution of the cleaning plan, according to the invention the floor-cleaning device, during the execution of the cleaning plan, determines whether the room in which the floor-cleaning device is placed is the certain room, and, in the event of a negative determination, the performance of the cleaning task is foreborne, interrupted, or ended. The invention further relates to a floor-cleaning device for performing the method.
