Q&A for How to Assemble a Swiffer WetJet

Just make sure you pushed the refill bottles all the way down, then store the Swiffer in an upright position.

You aren't supposed to take anything off the pads. The brown strip should go down, meaning it will be against the floor.

Yes. The swiffer pads come in a plastic or cardboard box, but without other packaging. When you remove the pad from the box, it is ready to use.

Sometimes you have to really push hard to get it to snap. Be sure you are putting it in the right way. The bottle should state which side should go against the handle.

Underneath the button to pop the bottle out is a little lever that you press down and pull, that is the battery compartment. Make sure the front of the bottle where it says Swiffer WetJet is facing to the left when you face the Swiffer forward like when you are about to use it and you face it away from you.

The Swiffer website says to replace the batteries when jet are not working properly. Try that.

Change the cleaning solution bottle, it may be empty. While you have it out, try putting in fresh AA alkaline batteries. One of these two things should do the trick. If not, you may need to exchange it.

Usually the battery compartment is right in front of the the liquid on the other side.

A back-end loads mean the fee is charged when you redeem the mutual fund. A front-end is the opposite of the back-end load, and means the fee is charged up front. A no-load fund simply means that you can buy and redeem the mutual fund unites/shares at any time without any commission or sales charge.

Wet Jet liquid is in a proprietary bottle that is designed for the Wet Jet and is purposely made to discourage refilling. To my knowledge Wet Jet does not market their cleaner in any other containers. In short, you can't refill it.

Brushing the jet and clearing it with a toothpick worked for me. Also make sure to change the batteries.

In each battery channel there is a tapered coil spring which contacts the negative(-) end of a battery. Install and compress the spring with the first battery and install the next battery against the first one while still compressed, and push the other end into the positive(+) contact.

Remove the battery compartment, and check to see if the batteries are installed correctly. Make sure the batteries are fresh. It's not uncommon to find defective batteries in the so-called "budget battery bundles" where a lot of "super volt" batteries are packaged and sold cheap. The correct battery polarities are molded into the holder next to where the battery contacts are. If this didn't correct the problem, contact the Swifter company. The fluid label tells you how.

A good way to make it much easier to refill it and in the future as well is to dunk the cap in hot water to slightly soften it, then twist the cap off, clip the locking tabs off with a pair of nail clippers, then remove the bottle. Pour the cleaning solution of your choice into it, then replace the cap and put the bottle back in.
