Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner with wet cleaning: how to set up and optimize work

Xiaomi’s wet-cleaning robot vacuum cleaners have become indispensable tools for cleaning homes, combining dry dusting and wet floor cleaning. However, many users face problems: divorces remain, the wipe quickly gets dirty or the robot avoids wet areas, most often due to improper settings or ignorance of the nuances of operation.

In this article, we will discuss how to properly adjust wet cleaning on Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro, Xiaomi Robot Vacuum-Mop P, DreameBot W10 and others that support this feature. You will learn which modes to choose for different types of coatings, how to prepare the robot for cleaning and avoid typical errors, and how to extend the life of the napkin and water tank.

Which Xiaomi models support wet cleaning?

Not all Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with a wet cleaning function, which is available in the following series:

• 🔹 Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop (all versions including 2 Pro, 2 Lite, 2 Ultra)
• 🔹 Xiaomi Robot Vacuum-Mop P (with automatic napkin lifting system)
• 🔹 DreameBot (models) W10, D9, L10 Pro – Dreame brand belongs to Xiaomi ecosystem)
• 🔹 Viomi V3 and V2 Pro (with Yiko support for management)

To check if your model has a moping feature, check the device specifications in the Mi Home app or on the box. Note: some budget models (for example, Mi Robot Vacuum 1S) can only clean dry.

Preparing the robot for wet cleaning: what to do before the first launch

Before you turn on the moping mode, follow a few mandatory steps:

1. Set up a water tank. The robot comes with a tank (usually white or transparent) that is mounted instead of or over the standard vacuum collector, depending on the model. For example, in the DreameBot W10, the tank is built into the main unit.
2. Stick the napkin. Use only original or certified napkins -- they're optimally dense and they don't leave a pile. Inappropriate fabrics can clog the pump or damage the machinery.
3. Pour water. Use distilled or boiled water to prevent plaque from forming in the tubes. In models with autodosing function (for example, Xiaomi Vacuum-Mop P), it is enough to pour water up to the MAX mark.

Important: If your model has a water intensity regulator (for example, in DreameBot D9), adjust it to the type of coating. For laminate or parquet, choose the minimum level, for tile or linoleum - medium or high.

Set up wet cleaning through the Mi Home app

The moping modes are controlled through the official Mi Home app (or Dreame/Viomi for the respective models).

1. Open the app and select your robot vacuum cleaner.
2. Go to Cleaning (or Cleaning in English).
3. Click on the Wet Cleaning icon (usually indicated by a drop of water).
4. Choose one of the modes: 💧 Weak - for delicate coatings (laminate, parquet). 💧💧 Medium - for linoleum or tiles. 💧💧💧 Strong - for persistent contaminants (only for water-resistant surfaces!).

Start

In zonal cleaning models (e.g. Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro), you can set separate areas for the puping.

1. In the app, select Area Cleaning.
2. Draw on the map of the room area where you need wet cleaning.
3. Specify the number of passes (recommended 2-3 for the best result).

Caring for a wet cleaning system: how to extend the service life

To ensure that the robot vacuum cleaner lasts a long time, follow the care recommendations:

1. Clean the tank. After each cleaning, drain the water, wash the tank and pipes under running water. Once a month, use vinegar (1:1 with water) to remove the plaque.
2. Replace a wipe. Microfiber wipes last 2-3 months with regular washing (manually, without bleach). If the wipe has become hard or has lost absorbent properties, replace it.
3. Pump inspection: In models with electrically sprayed water (for example, DreameBot W10), lubricate the pump with silicone lubrication once every six months (use only the manufacturer's recommended means!).
4. Storage. If the robot has not been used for more than a week, remove the napkin and the tank, dry them. Store the device in a dry place at a temperature of 10 to 30 ° C.

⚠️ Warning: Never use abrasive sponges or metal brushes to clean your robot, as they will damage sensors and plastic parts. Use soft cloth soaked in soapy solution to remove persistent contaminants.

💡

Regular maintenance of the moping system increases the life of the robot by 30-40%, and pay special attention to cleaning the humidity sensors - their contamination leads to improper cleaning modes.

Additional features: Autowashing dock, spraying detergent and other chips

Modern Xiaomi models are equipped with advanced features for wet cleaning:

• 🤖 Automated Dock: Xiaomi Vacuum-Mop 2 Ultra and DreameBot W10 The robot washes and dries the napkin after cleaning, and you just pour water into the dock and add detergent.
• 🧴 Spraying detergent. Some robots (e.g. Viomi) V3) They support automatic mixing of water with detergent. Use only special concentrates for robot vacuum cleaners!
• 📊 Intelligent mapping: The robot remembers the types of coatings in each room and automatically selects the optimal moping mode, for example, in the bathroom it will use more water, and in the bedroom it will use less water.
• ⏱️ You can program the cleaning for the night or when you're not home. Make sure there's enough water in the tank!

If your model supports voice control (via Alice, Google Assistant or Siri), you can run a wet cleaning with your voice.

Alice, run a robot vacuum cleaner for the wet cleaning in the kitchen.
