๐ Speaker Cleaner โ tap play
For Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO phones with the bottom speaker grille beside the USB-C port.
Set your volume to maximum, unplug headphones, and hold the phone speaker facing down.
How to use it
- Check first: on many MIUI/HyperOS phones there is a built-in 'Clear speaker' option (look in Settings โ Additional settings). If yours has it, it plays a 30-second cleaning sound โ the page you are on does the same job with more modes.
- Set the volume to maximum and remove the case.
- Hold the phone with the bottom grille facing down and play the Water Eject cycle.
- Stereo Xiaomi models also play through the earpiece โ run Earpiece Clean for that channel.
- Finish with a soft dry brush across the bottom slots.
Good to know
- Water resistance varies a lot across the Xiaomi range: flagship Mi models may carry IP68, while many Redmi phones are only splash-resistant โ treat yours as splash-resistant unless your exact model says otherwise.
- Xiaomi's own support guidance after water exposure is the same pattern as everyone else's: power off if it was a real dunk, dry, and wait before charging.
- If the built-in cleaner and this page both leave one channel dull, clean that grille physically before suspecting damage.
