Why can't the mop pad on the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S40C dry?

If the mop pad on your Xiaomi Robot Vacuum S40C remains too wet or does not dry properly, it's important to note that this device does not support automatic mop pad cleaning or drying functions. You will need to manually remove the mop pad after each cleaning session, wash it thoroughly with clean water, and let it air dry completely before the next use. Keeping the mop pad clean and dry helps prevent odor buildup and ensures optimal mopping performance.
Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow:
1. Manually remove the mop pad after cleaning and rinse it with clean water;
2. Wring out excess water before drying to reduce moisture content;
3. Hang the mop pad in a well-ventilated area to allow faster air drying;
4. Avoid storing the robot vacuum with a damp mop pad attached, as this can lead to mold or unpleasant smells;
5. Have spare mop pads on hand so you can switch them out when needed.
