Try a warmed up pin or paperclip the plastic may not have been punctured when it was unmolded during the manufacturing process or return to the store for another one.

Hello you can try this it may help.. Worked for me :)
Step 1
Push the button on the front of the mop body where the cleaner bottle inserts into the Swiffer Wet Jet. Pull the cleaner bottle out of the unit and sit it on a flat surface with the cap side pointing up.

Step 2
Fill an 8-ounce glass Ā¼ full with white vinegar. Fill the rest of the glass with warm water. Dip a toothbrush into the vinegar water and scrub the front of the nozzle on the top of the mop head. The vinegar eats away at caked on dirt and grime.

Step 3
Insert the tip of a toothpick into the nozzle hole as far as possible. Do not force the toothpick, simply push it in and out slightly. This breaks up dirt inside the nozzle.

Step 4
Set the mop head into a sink and pour the remaining vinegar water into the area where you insert the cleaner bottle. Avoid spilling the water on the outside of the mop body. Position the mop head so that the nozzle is pointing to the side of the sink or even hold the mop handle and allow the nozzle to point to the drain.


Step 5
Squeeze the spray trigger just as you would when the bottle is in the mop. The warm vinegar water passes through the tube and nozzle, breaking up any dirt and grime.

Step 6
Pour the remaining liquid out of the bottle cartridge from the front of the mop, once the sprayer sprays consistently. Dry the outside of the mop with a towel to remove any spills. Reinsert the cleaner bottle and continue cleaning your floors.
Good luck and I hope this helps :)

My bissell spot lifter model 1716 won't spray water at all, how do i fix this?

ok - this works even though it probably isn't the "best" solution. Unclog the input and output nozzle ares with a pin. The input area (behind the solution) was my clog problem - I put 2 or 3 drops of CLR into the hole, waited 5 minutes, then primed the trigger. This unclogged it! Fill the tank with a 1:1 ratio of white vinegar and warm water. Insert tank into unit and spray out the contents into the sink. This will eliminate any leftover CLR residue and clean the nozzle thoroughly. For the intake (suction part of the tank) I just rinsed through the lines with the vinegar mix and it seemed to unclog the rest. These things are a pain to take apart and if you break any pieces you'll be stuck - replacement parts have been discontinued for older models.

How to unclog a bissell proheat turbo carpet cleaner

proheat 9300

Remove the water tank. You will see 2 red tabbed plastic spray tubes.(where the spray comes out if not clogged) Pinch the clips to remove from the machine. Then you will need to pinch the hose clips to remove the red tabs from the hose. Clean out those red spray nozzles. Next step: have a towel ready and fill the solution tank with water. Put the solution (not water) tank on to where the water tank would go. Place the machine selection knob to rinse/wet only. Now with towel under the hoses that you removed the red tabs. Turn on the machine and pull the trigger to activate the water. You should see water flow out of the hoses that had the red tabs on them. If not, release and pull again the trigger several times. If only 1 hose has water coming out of it then block the one that works and try the process above again to de clog the one that isn't working. Good luck.

The cleaning solution nozzle on the Hoover Spin Scrub upholstery attachment just barely drips. I can't get the solution to spray. Any ideas?

make sure that the supply line is clear ,some times if solution is allowed to dry in the line the soap dries and blocks the route of solution
Try and use some viniger to break up the deposits

Will spray from handtool but not from brush floor

Thanks to many others who have posted on similar problems -- water and/or solution sprays through the handheld tools, but not through the main machine.

As others have suggested, I removed the water reservoir, which exposes the 2 main water sprays mounted above the rollers. Using, pliers, I carefully slid the clips back. Gently but firmly removed the two red nozzles.

Elsewhere I have read suggestions to just do one nozzle at a time. However, I found out that if you remove both red nozzles, you can then blow through one side and it will come out the other. In my case, that dislodged a nice collection of crystal-like chunks (guessing it may be crystallized residue from the cleaning solution).

There was also a bit of blockage in one of the red nozzles, which I cleaned out. Make sure you can blow through both of them with little resistance.

Reassemble: Push red nozzles back into hoses. Using pliers, reposition sprung clip back over the red nozzle. Snap nozzles back into place. Refill tanks and power it up.

In my case, that resolved the problem of no sprays from the main machine. Sprays like new now. Hope yours does too!! e
