mop head won/t screw in very well what can I do

I had the same problem with an older model. While it fit the newer model better, I found that the second or third wring out popped the plastic tie that held the mop head together. Recently I tossed the whole batch in a charity bin. Very disappointed in the product. Loved the original, but the replacements just did t do the job.

Mine didn't either. The threads don't match but are tight enough that it seems to hold. I have given up on this kind of mop because it was too much trouble. I have one mop head left, so I figured I got my money's worth out of the pack of 6.

Is this the only new mop head you have? Do you have others that do screw in ? If it is a replacement mop head you may have cross threaded it the first time you tried to screw it on. You could have a defective new mop head or the handle itself.

The new heads are hard to screw in but if you push in while screwing it will work. Good luck!

No it does not screw on. The shape on the end of the mop refill fits exactly into the mop handle. It is a square.

Mine works some of the time! I just use a spray bottle of bona and spray in front of the mop

Amanda, if you're using tap water then I can likely solve your little problem. And believe it not, it's little! Remove the mop head at the neck, where it joins the body. There in the neck you will find a small pinhole that sends the steam to the mop head. What happens is that tiny pinhole gets clogged with mineral residue, calcium, etc and steam can't get out. The fix is to UNPLUG THE DEVICE AND LET IT COOL OFF! Then straighten out a small paper clip, slide it up into the little pinhole, and run it in and out a couple of times to remove the deposits. I keep a straightened out paper clip in my cabinet for just this very purpose. Plug the device back in and see if that doesn't fix the lack of steam. If it does, keep the paper clip handy for future clogs. If it doesn't, well, that means a call to Shark Customer Service. They are the ones who told me how to do this :). Good luck!

I bought the six wide mop head, it seems to work perfectly with this bucket. As far as where to buy I would recommend Lowes or Home Depot they seem to have a better quality.

To remove the mop head you can either step on it while it's on the floor & pull up on the handle OR simply tug using the strands. The mop head should pop right off. Other reviews mentioned directions- mine did not have any.

I had a problem with original mop head not staying on. In the words of the raven, "Nevermore."

I only have the H2o so I don't know, sorry. You might try measuring your mop and checking the specifications of the pads.

It's not easy. Brace the mop handle with your feet and pull the old mop head out. You can then spot the track into which you shove the new mop head. It also takes a little horsepower.

I just hold below the part where it lengthens or shortens & twist above that part to loosen & then adjust it. Sorry you are having problems. I love my mop!

I had the same problem when I first started using mine. The secret of keeping mop together is where you hold the mop. YOu must hold it on the little sliding plastic piece in the middle of the mop handle, so as not to unscrew it.

I had the same problem so I replaced the side screws to screws with heads instead of flat screws. It seemed to do the job. Good luck.

There is an opaque guard ring above the mop head on the mop handle, pull that up towards the mop handle away from the mop head. Then remove the old mop head and replace it with the new one. You may need to give it a tap with a hammer or a twist with a wrench if it has been in place for a long time or rusted.

Hold upright with handle in your hand and place your foot on the mop strings and pull up on the handle . the mop comes loose very easily. You can also hold the handle in your left hand and turn the mop to the right side and stick your hand inside the hole in the mop head and pull BUT that is messy if the mop is wet and used. LOVE THIS MOP!!!!

Just step on the mop fiber close to the plastic head and bend the handle to the left or right. Google Dyno mop and scroll down to see a demo. :)

It doesn't unfortunately. I tried myself and the pieces of the mop fall off

Here is what I do when that happens. Dip the mop into the water, raise the mop out of the water, let it drip a few seconds. This will pull down all the strands and allow you to put the mop head into the spinner without the strays watering down the kitchen. It works for me once I discovered how to do it.
