the robot is mopping but leaving streaks and wet lines on my floor, it's not drying properly.

— asked by Riley

Quick answer: The mopping pads are either too wet, dirty, or the robot's drying station isn't activating the hot air cycle correctly. This is a common gripe with the auto-drying feature.

Diagnosis

The mopping pads are either too wet, dirty, or the robot's drying station isn't activating the hot air cycle correctly. This is a common gripe with the auto-drying feature.

How to Fix It

Manually trigger a drying cycle. In the app, go to the Dock settings and press "Dry Mopping Pads." Let it run the full 2-hour cycle. While it runs, remove the pads, hand-wash them with mild detergent, and let them air dry completely before reattaching.

If That Didn't Work

Check the water tank setting. In the app, for your saved floor plan, ensure the water flow isn't set to "High" for sealed hard floors. Try a "Medium" or "Low" setting for less moisture.

Heads Up

The hot air drying only works if the pads are *centered* on the docking station trays. After the robot docks, visually confirm both pads are fully seated on the heated vents.
