How to Assemble a Swiffer WetJet
Swiffer WetJets come in a variety of styles and are great for convenience and easy to assemble. Whether assembling a battery powered model or simply changing the batteries of your Swiffer, use your WetJet to clean tile, wood, laminate, vinyl or linoleum floors.
Steps

Assembling the Swiffer

Unwrap the Swiffer. Open the box and unwrap all the pieces. This includes removing any sticky tape from the handle, floor piece, cleaning solution and cleaning pads. Set all these items to the side for easy access.

Snap the three pieces of the pole together. After lining up all three of the main pieces, snap the pole with the mop, the middle pole, and the pole with the handle together. If your Swiffer is pre-assembled, you may need to pull the handle to extend the pole. Listen for a click. Once the pole is extended, it is permanently extended.

Insert batteries. Your Swiffer will generally require four AA batteries. To remove the battery panel, click the notch inside the area that holds the cleaning supply. Open the cover and insert the batteries.

Insert cleaner. Your Swiffer should come with liquid cleaning supply. To insert the liquid, turn the Swiffer upside down. The flat side of the cleaner should fit flush against the pole of the Swiffer. Once the cleaning bottle is aligned, firmly press it up into the Swiffer holder. You should hear a click once the liquid is inserted correctly. Older models may need the lid of the cleaning solution to be turned slightly. In current models, there is a seal that will be broken by the Swiffer. If you suspect you have an older bottle, try turning the lid a quarter turn.

Put on a cleaning pad. While looking at the cleaning pad you will see two strips of paper. These will need to be removed to allow the sticky adhesive to seal onto the Swiffer itself. Once removed, line the adhesive up with the bottom of your Swiffer. Put the Swiffer down onto the pad and hold for three seconds and the pad should automatically stick on. Swiffer pads have an extra-tough-spot cleaning strip that is textured. It can be found on one side of the mopping pad. When applying the pad to the Swiffer, put the tough-side at the back end of the mop. Swiffer pads come in many styles with different cleaning products. If you don’t like the initial choice, don’t be afraid to go back and exchange your Swiffer for a new style.

Flip the Swiffer rightside up and test. To use your Swiffer, lay it on the floor pointed at the mess you wish to clean. Gently press the button on the handle to release the cleaning liquid. Mop the Swiffer back and forth to clean the liquid. A two to three-second hold of the button will release enough liquid to clean approximately 10 square feet of flooring.

Changing the Swiffer Batteries

Remove the cleaner. To access the batteries, you must remove the Swiffer cleaner. To do so, hold the Swiffer upside down. Push the large button between the cleaner and the Swiffer pole. Pull down firmly to remove the cleaner.

Remove the battery tab. The battery tab will have a finger notch you can pull down. Put your finger within the opening and pull down. This will slide the battery cover off.

Replace the expired batteries. Remove the batteries and replace them with new ones. Check to make sure you are putting them in the correct direction. Batteries should be recycled. Your local township should have a recycling depot that will recycle your one-use batteries free of charge. Save them in a container until you’re ready to dispose.

Reassemble the swiffer and test. Once you’ve inserted the new batteries, replace the battery cover and the cleaning supplies. If you don’t need your swiffer right away, you can test it without putting on a pad by holding the button down. If the Swiffer doesn’t release liquid, disassemble it and check that the batteries have been inserted correctly.
