Abstract: The invention relates to a method for docking a self-propelled and self-steering floor treatment device to a base station, wherein a particular docking signal spatially extended in a particular signal region is emitted by means of two or more transmitting elements of the base station, wherein the signal regions overlap in some sections and the docking signals each have a different signal characteristic, and wherein the docking signals are received by a receiving device of the floor treatment device and are analyzed by a control unit of the floor treatment device. According to the invention, in order to provide such a method that enables simple and reliable docking of the floor treatment device to the base station, the actual position of the floor treatment device in relation to the base station is calculated in consideration of the differing signal characteristic by means of the control unit, a travel path of the floor treatment device from the actual position to a characteristic target region at a specified or specifiable position in relation to the base station is determined, and the floor treatment device is moved to the characteristic target region, from which the floor treatment device is moved into a docking position against the base station. The invention further relates to a floor treatment system for performing the method.
