The disclosure relates to a cleaning robot, and a cleaning method. The cleaning robot includes a body; a moving mechanism, configured to support the body and drive the cleaning robot to move; a power module, configured to provide a driving force for moving and working; a mopping module, configured to be mounted on the body and perform predetermined mopping work, where a wiping member is capable of being mounted on the mopping module; a control module, configured to be electrically connected to the power module and control the power module, to implement automatic moving and automatic working of the cleaning robot; and a detection module configured to detect a region type. When the mopping module completes mopping work of a current region, the detection module detects a region type of a next region to determine whether the region type is the same as that of the current region, and when it is determined that the region types are different, the control module controls the cleaning robot to transfer information indicating that the wiping member is to be replaced to a user or replace the wiping member. The beneficial effect of the present disclosure is that stains in different types of regions are not contaminated mutually, thereby improving the degree of cleanliness of the cleaning robot, and improving user experience.

A roller mop capable of self-cleaning, comprising a pull rod (41), a mop head component (1), and a cleaning basin capable of holding the mop head component (1). The pull rod (41) is grasped by a person to operate; a motor (15) in the mop head component (1) drives a roller (10) to clean the ground; after the mopping is ended, the mop head component (1) can be put in the cleaning basin for charging and washing with water. The roller mop provided with a trash bin (17) can receive a number of small trashes; labor intensity is reduced due to the driving of the motor (15); the mop can perform continuous operation, and thus high cleaning efficiency is achieved; moreover, the mop has a self-cleaning effect, and is easy to use.
