Wet cleaning in the robot vacuum cleaner Xiaomi: how to turn on and configure the mode

Xiaomi’s wet-cleaning robots have become indispensable tools for keeping clean. However, many users have difficulty first turning on the mode: the app doesn’t show an option, the vacuum cleaner ignores the command or leaves a divorce, and the reason is often due to improper installation of accessories or incorrect settings in the Mi Home.

In this article, we will discuss all the steps from robot preparation to the subtleties of adjusting wet cleaning for different models (Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro, S7, X10+ and others), you will learn how to avoid typical mistakes, such as why the vacuum cleaner does not spray water or why the wipe remains dry, and also how to optimize the mode for different types of coatings (laminate, tile, parquet).

What Xiaomi models support wet cleaning

Not all Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with a wet cleaning function, and here is a list of current models with this option (2026):

• 🔹 Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Pro – combined cleaning with electronic water supply control
• 🔹 Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Lite – budget version with manual humidity control
• 🔹 Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop P – support for zoning and recognition of carpets
• 🔹 Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S7/S7 MaxV - vibration wipe and automatic lifting of the mop system on carpets
• 🔹 Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X10+/X20+ — premium series with hot water and automatic drying of napkins

If your model is not included in the list, check the specifications on the official website or in the instructions. For example, Mi Robot Vacuum 1S or Mi Robot Vacuum E10 do not support wet cleaning - they do not have a water tank and a mount for a wipe.

Also, look at the firmware version: In older versions (before 2022), the wet cleaning function may have been hidden or not working properly.

1. Open the app and select your robot.
2. Go to Settings → About the device → Update firmware.
3. If a new version is available, install it.

Preparing the robot for wet cleaning: what to check

Before the first activation of the wet cleaning mode, follow the mandatory steps:

Install a water tank|Attach a napkin to a mop platform|Fill the tank with water (not above the mark) MAX)|Check the cleanliness of the sprayers|Update the firmware in Mi Home-->

Let's take a closer look at each item:

1. The water tank. Make sure it's properly installed -- you can hear the click. In the S7/X10+, the tank has a water level sensor, so if it's not fixed, the robot won't start cleaning.
2. Use only original or certified wipes, which should fit tightly to the platform, without creases. In models with a vibrating mop system (for example, S7), the napkin is attached to Velcro.
3. Water level. Only pour distilled or boiled water, which prevents the spray from plaqueing. Don't go above the MAX mark, or it may leak.
4. Sprayers. Check if they're clogged with dust. Use a needle or compressed air to clean. In the X10+, the sprayers self-clean when they return to base.

⚠️ Warning: If the Xiaomi robot, after installing the wipe, gives an error Mop platform is not installed, restart it (hold the power button for 10 seconds) and repeat the mounting. 90% of the time this solves the problem.

Typical problems and their solutions

Even after setting up properly, wet cleaning can work incorrectly.

Robot doesn't spray water

• 💡 Check the water level in the tank (should be between the two) MIN and MAX).
• 💡 Clean the sprayers from blockages (use a needle or toothpick).
• 💡 In Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop 2 Lite models, check if the water supply valve is open (it is located at the bottom of the tank).
• 💡 Update the firmware – in the old versions there was an error with the pump lock.

The napkin stays dry.

• 🧼 Make sure the wipe is properly installed (Velcros should be tightly fixed).
• 🧼 In models S7/X10+ Check if the only vacuum is on.
• 🧼 If the robot has stood for a long time without use, wash the tank with acetic solution (1:1 with water) to remove deposits.

Robot leaves divorces

• 🌊 Use less water (select Low level in settings).
• 🌊 Add it to the water. 1-2 drops of floor washing products (only for models with support for detergents!).
• 🌊 Check the napkin - if it is worn out, replace it.

Tips for caring for a wet cleaning system

To make Xiaomi robot vacuum cleaner last a long time, follow the care recommendations:

• 🚿 After each cleaning, drain the water from the tank and dry it.
• 🧼 Once a week, wash the tank with warm water and soap. To disinfect you can use a solution of vinegar (1:1).
• 🔧 Every 3 months, clean the sprayers from plaque. X10+ This is done automatically on the base.
• 🧻 Wash your wipes by hand at 30.°C without bleach. Don't use the underwear conditioner -- it clogs the pores of the fabric.
• 🔋 If the robot is not in use for more than a week, remove the water tank and store it separately.

For models with hot water (X10+):

• Use only distilled water – this will prolong the life of the heating element.
• Once a month, start the Self-Cleaning function (available in the base settings).

💡

Regular maintenance of a wet cleaning system increases the life of the robot by 30-40%, especially critical for electronically controlled models (such as the S7 or X10+), where clogs can disable the pump.
