A self-propelling and self-steering floor-cleaning device comprising:

• a travelling gear configured to move the floor-cleaning device on a floor surface;

• a control unit coupled to the travelling gear and the cleaning unit;
• a storage unit that is coupled to the control unit, at least one map of at least one room to be cleaned as well as a user-predeterminable cleaning plan having one or more cleaning tasks stored in the storage unit, at least one cleaning task being associated with a particular room that is identifiable from a map;
• and
• a sensor unit that is coupled to the control unit;
• wherein, when the cleaning plan is executed, the control unit:
• is configured to analyze at least one sensor signal of the sensor unit for features indicative of the room the floor-cleaning device is in;
• is configured to check for presence of the features in the at least one map stored in the storage unit;
• and
• is configured to determine whether the room in which the floor-cleaning device is placed is the particular room;
• and
• wherein, if the result of this determination is negative, the control unit is configured to not carry out, interrupt or end performance of the cleaning task associated with the particular room.
