How the Swiffer Wet Jet Works (Quick Overview)
A battery powered spray mop: the trigger activates a small pump to spray cleaning solution
onto the floor.
A replaceable pad lifts dirt; toss pads after use for best results.
If the trigger feels loose, empty, or batteries are low, the sprayer may not work
correctly.

Batteries & Prep Checklist
Use 4 × AA alkaline batteries (always install as indicated in the compartment).
Have your cleaning solution bottle and a fresh mop pad ready.
Turn the Wet Jet off and keep it upright before opening any compartment.
Tip: Keep a spare set of alkaline batteries in a dry drawer so you never get caught mid clean.

Replace the Batteries Steps 1 3
1) Remove the solution bottle: Grip firmly and pull it straight out to prevent spills.
2) Open the battery compartment: It s usually near the handle or inside the main housing
(check your model).
3) Remove old batteries: Dispose of them responsibly (follow local battery recycling
rules).

Replace the Batteries Steps 4 6
4) Insert 4 × AA batteries: Match the +/ orientation shown inside the compartment.
5) Close the compartment securely: A loose cover can interrupt power to the pump.
6) Re attach the solution bottle: Push until it clicks and feels seated.
Safety: Never mix old and new batteries or different brands/types in the same device.

Prime After Battery Change
Squeeze the trigger 5 10 times to re prime the pump if spray doesn t appear immediately.
Check that the bottle straw is fully submerged and the bottle is properly clicked in
place.
If trigger remains unresponsive, re open the battery door and confirm correct orientation.

Troubleshooting: No Spray
Confirm batteries are inserted correctly and the door is fully closed.
Ensure the solution bottle is full and correctly seated (listen/feel for the click).
Inspect nozzle for clogs wipe gently with a damp cloth.
Prime the trigger repeatedly; air can get trapped after bottle/battery changes.

Troubleshooting: Weak Spray or Leaks
Weak Spray: Replace low batteries; check for partial clogs at the nozzle or dried solution
in tubing.
Leaks at Bottle Neck: Re seat bottle or replace if the cap s gasket is worn.
Pad Saturation: Change pads sooner over wet pads reduce pickup and spread streaks.

Care & Maintenance (Keep It Working Like New)
Remove the pad after each session; let the mop air dry upright.
Wipe nozzle and handle with a damp cloth to prevent dried solution build up.
Store away from direct heat/sunlight; avoid leaving batteries in extremely hot
environments.

Best Practices for Streak Free Floors
Work in small sections; overlap slightly to avoid missed spots.
Use fresh pads for large/dirty areas don t push dirt around.
Avoid over spraying; more solution isn t always better on delicate surfaces.

Quick FAQs
Which batteries are best? High quality AA alkaline batteries deliver consistent spray
performance.
How often should I replace pads? Swap once the pad looks saturated or no longer lifts dirt
effectively.
Can I use my own solution? Follow manufacturer guidance non approved liquids may clog or
reduce performance.
