Why am I having trouble getting the mop to spray? I have to jiggle the bottle for it to spray well??

Is the bottle snapped in all the? If so you just squeeze the handle and and it will spray. You have to wait for the trigger to release before spraying again.

Perhaps the opening of your bottle is defective. I've used this product for several years and can just put my finger over the opening, tip the bottle upside down then right the bottle and have just enough oil to dab around my eyes, etc. It takes several times to get enough oil if I'm doing my whole face.

As long as the mop is in the upright position it will not produce steam. Assuming you have the mop setting turned on and water in the holding tank, just start mopping and the steam should come. It comes in bursts of steam. Hope this is all that is wrong and this helps.

the directions I found said to stand on the strands and tip the mop handle to the side...................NO NO. I broke the handle. My dear husband is trying to get it glued back together but I'm thinking it will need to be a new handle. I will try the screw driver next time. Thanks

I used to use just the spray with the bona mop too, I have found that the built in cartridge is easier and more convenient for me. I definitely mop my floors more often! Just be careful not to spray too close to baseboards or furniture as the spray fans out a bit. Good luck!

I,m having the same problem with the trigger. A lot of time it won't spray and I take the solution tank out and put it back in and then it works. I had a smaller Bissell cleaner and loved it, but I'm not very happy with this one. I don't have the box that it came in. If I did I would send it back. Trying to decide if I want to get a different one.

Check that your two piece mop handle is properly aligned and that the two protruding buttons are fully extended. They secure the handle parts and if not in order you can have difficulty using the trigger mechanism. We did, but once aligned all is fine.

The bottle that is shown is already diluted. I have bought the cleaner in a spray bottle so that I can spray it on the floors and then wipe with the mop. If you are using this on some kind of small mishap, dampen a paper towel and wipe with that. Don't dilute this at all. Pouring from this bottle could cause you to use too much. Spraying is best.

Try spraying it for a longer period of time. When I first spray it, it does that. Or try a different kind of oil.

In order for it to steam, the receptacle has to be filled with water, the switch on the front of the mop has to be flipped to "steam," and the plate the mop pads velcro to must be attached. If you've taken all of these steps, check the outlet where it is plugged in (when I clean at work, only two outlets out of four actually function!). If it still doesn't work, you may have a defective machine. Hope this helps.

I really wasn't impressed with the mister's ability to continue to spray. The only suggestion I have is to soak it in really hot water and attempt to spray it to try and loosen or breakdown whatever is blocking the sprayer. Hope it works! Good Luck!

Mine sprays consistently, constantly. I love my Bona mop. In fact, I have two, one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Maybe you got a clunker. Customer service is awesome from what I hear. The company would want to make it right with you.

I have had this problem as well. I think it's more the ergonomics of the mop handle that came in the kit I purchased. It works ok for me if used as a dry mop, but as soon as I spray the mop or the floor (lightly) with Bona), it stutters and sticks instead of gliding. I've just purchased another pad and am giving it another try, keeping one pad for wet mopping and one for dry.

Make sure the spray bottle is pushed all the way down. It clicks when it is in correctly. If there is still an issue get a replacement.

I have the same problem...I have used the machine twice, tried a third time. First time it worked great! Second time I had to unclip the little spray nozzles at the bottom and un-clog them with a paper clip. Third time I was unsuccessful in getting the machine to spray (spend hours looking stuff up on the internet and trying different solutions, nothing worked). It was useless. VERY frustrating.

My mop works fine. The locking mechanism when you push it upward towards the handle prevents the mop from spinning when mopping. Push downward and the mop will spin when you push down on handle. Mine works well.

Try to lightly hold the handle but allow it to spin with the mop instead of holding the handle still. Should help with that.
