What am I doing wrong? My sprayer doesn't work. I just tried my little green for the first time. I tried pumping the trigger, then tried holding it for a time. help! I am hoping it's not defective and is just operator error. Thanks!

Sorry to be the banter of bad news, but it does sound as though you have a defective unit. The good news is you are still under warranty. Do not waste another minute; call the store where you bought it and have it returned. This device is a no brainer; you plug it up, turn it on and watch it go...the spray should work with ease and percision. Buying defective items does happen in life; sorry you had to experience that. Best wishes with everything.

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!

Hi Nibor,I do not remember that I had to do any thing to spray the liquid. If it is push and twist, then try pushing the trigger down and twsting it right or left. If not. Remove the trigger from the bottle. Get a pipe cleaner and clean out the tube under the trigger and try again. If that does not work. Send it back. I am sure that Amazon will honor a defective product. These things do happen. But trust me when I say the product works great. I tip also....always use a clean microfiber cloth. One you have used your cloth 2-3 times it must be clean or you will see scratches from the dirt on the cloth. Have a great day.

So sorry I haven't responded sooner, been having major internet problems. Have you "squeezed" the trigger back towards the bottle? If you did, and it didn't work, it may be defective.

What's not working on it? Is it the steamer or the actual shot puller thing? It could be that the temperature isn't hot enough or it's clogged, but which component is it?

Not at all sprayer works just fine. My husband uses it and it's been working great and he uses it for his business. He even ordered two more.

Mine also stopped. I was sent a new spraying gun and that one also broke after 5 tans. I gave up. This product is not worth it. I went to a hardware store and bought a paint spraying gun for $30 and it works perfectly! That was my solution.

My sprayer stopped working too. It's too bad they put such a cheap sprayer with such a nice bottle. Anyway, I think the sizing of the sprayer is fairly standard cuz I went to Container Arts and bought a small (travel size) pump sprayer. I went home, took the pump off and screwed it onto the glass bottle, and wa la! It fit.

No, I haven't had a problem with the trigger. I keep it pushed in while I am cleaning the carpet, & don't touch it while I am in the drying stage. If I take my finger off the trigger it stops generating fluid. I don't know if this helped or not.

There is a little latch underneath the handle that might be flipped up instead of down preventing you from using the spray. Also on the top of the nozzel is a screw thing that controls the flow. That might also be your problem. You will have to play with it.

I don't know. My husband had no problems. Was your sprayer clean before using this? If you had something else in there and forgot to clean it out, it might have caused a problem. Did you make sure it was mixed? Also, did you make sure you had the right amount mixed in the sprayer. These are the only suggestions I have. It worked great for us.

The unit I have does not have that problem. After I press the trigger the pump starts after a split second. Not sure what imwould do if imhave your problem. I might contact the manufacturer and put them on "notice" how the unit is now working. In case you ha e tomreturn it after amazon's return date has expired. They may send you a new pistol as that may be causing the delay. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck

Unless the nozzle has become clogged, I can't think of any reason why, after building up a head of steam, it wouldn't discharge. Perhaps there's something wrong with the trigger. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Bob Waterstone

We had to replace the sprayer because it was doing the same thing. New one works fine. You can get them on Ebay.

It requires you to hold the trigger down to spray. It s not the pump trigger that ypu would find onbthe black flag plastic model

The first thing I would try would be to make sure you are cleaning the gun thoroughly. Next make sure you test your spray on something first like a wash cloth. If it is coming out uneven or plotchy adjust how much is coming out by turning the knob in the back. You may just need to turn down how much is coming out.

Your sprayers are blocked. You could try to open the holes with a needle, but usually that doesn't work, since the blockage is usually way up in the tube that feeds a sprayer. Seems the cleaner that they make with this tool dries out in that tube and leaves a residue that blocks the tube. Since there's no way to easily open the tool and get to the tubes and clean them, you're out of luck and have to buy a new Swiffer. I think they planned it that way, imho.
