Stepped on pedal 10+ times, and the mop still comes out very wet - I wring it with my hands and so much water comes out... Am I using it wrong?

Does the handle spin in your hand when you do that? Make sure the handle is straight when you put it on the spinner

There are several YouTube tutorials that may give you the answer you're looking for. It's important to seat the mop head in the spinning receptacle squarely, and not at an angle. Otherwise, the spinner spins off kilter and the mop head doesn't get wrung out properly.

Have you checked the wringer without the mop to be sure it spins? Do you put the mop clear down in the wringer section(red) and then when you step on the pedal do you hold the mop handle loose enough so that the whole mop spins? Mine works great. hope this helps

what you are suppose to do is continuously pump the pedal it will spin as long as you push it you dont just push it then stop you keep pushing it and it will continue to spin

Have not had any issues using it but I am not "rough" on my mops so not quite sure if this will answer your question or not.

I'm having no trouble with my mop It was stiff the first few times but now squeezes very easily..Did you make sure the mop head was wet through? It will not roll if the mop is dry.

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.

Mine sprays pretty far. Make sure the container clicks into the mop (you have to push pretty hard). If that doesnt work I would say you may have a dud.

It depends on how much dirt is being picked up, but even when I've had a mess to clean up it only takes a few rinses to get the water from the mop to run clear. So far I've found it to be a good mop- but you really must get the mophead completely wet before you can squeeze it - otherwise it's improssible to get the handle that squeezes the mophead to work. Once it's wet though, it works fine. It is slightly larger than other sponge mops I've used which makes cleanup quicker and the mophead is dense and sturdy.

I am not sure what you are asking, I have no problem, but it sounds like maybe you do not have the mop head on securely so that is why it is flopping. Try re attaching the mop head and make sure it is clicked on securely.

The first time might be a little stiff. Can you make it move without the sponge head in it? If yes then reinsert the mop head get it wet and try again.

Excess water could mean you are overfilling the tank. This has happened with another brand of steam mop I have had.

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.

I have never had that problem, when you wash the mop, lift straight from bucket and place in spin section, sometimes a few strands will be on the edge, just lift mop head up again and guide it in to the spin section, and you never touch the stands with your hands... Hope this helps!

Greetings from GoVacuum, We are a very large distributor for this product, and I do get this questions very frequently. I have called Reliable and asked them about why the machine still leaves the floor wet. What they told me was that there is no need to continuously hold the steam trigger down while you are mopping your floors. They tell me that once the pad is wet, the pad will already be hot from the steam, and you should use the steam sparingly. I have tried this techniqe and found that the machine will still clean very well without be trigger happy, and leaves the floors substantially dryer when I'm finished. The best technique I found is to pull the trigger, let the steam accumulate on the pad for approximately 30 seconds, and then begin mopping. I can usually mop a 25 square foot section before I have to release more steam.

It depends on how dry you want the mop as to how many times you depress the petal. If you want the mop to still be pretty wet then only depress a time or two. If you want it to be very dry then give the petal several depressions. I have found that I can use my mop for both wet mopping and even to use slightly damp as a dust mop. You will have to experiment with it yourself to get the desired degree of wet/dry.

I had this problem too. lol. Be sure that you are holding the handle at the grip part. In this picture, its the middle part of the handle that is colored red. If you hold it anywhere else, the handle and the mop head will come apart., Try it. I hope I described it correctly, if not get back to me. Youre gonna love this mop

You are doing nothing wrong. All that mop and the Bona does is spread the dirt around. It does not "trap" dirt and remove it from the floor. If you keep using that you will have a sticky film on your floor that takes 20-30 moppings to get it off. Terrible stuff.

I have had 2 foot pedal spin mops and two without foot pedal.Trust me ,you want the one without the foot pedal.Both of the foot pedal models broke,or stuck,within 6 months.I love my spin mop without the foot pedal.My only wish is for the bucket to be made of stainless.I would be willing to spend more for a better bucket.

You can use the pedal to keep it as wet or dry as desired. We have 3 African grey parrots.. they produce a lot of dust. I use this mop to wash the walls.. in fact I just did wash walls tonight. It works great for that too... not just foors. I love it. I got mine at Walmart for $29 I love Amazon tho too!!!
