Thanks for reaching out to Swiffer and sharing this experience with us, Kelly.

We're so very sorry to hear about this, Patti. With our quality checks, this isn't what we expect especially if the cardboard is remove. If you have not done so already, check the silicone cap, and If the cap is bulging, try unscrewing/rotating the purple cap counterclockwise by 180 degrees. After this step, tilt the bottle on its side for 2-3 seconds to check for liquid leakage. If there is no leakage, insert the bottle into the device. If there is leakage, move the bottle upright, screw back on 180 degrees or rotate clockwise to reclose. Retry the insertion into the device. We'd like to see if this helps, so when you're free, please call us at (800) 742-9220.

We're sorry to hear that the pads wouldn't stay on your Swiffer PowerMop, Leslie! Our products go through strict quality tests to ensure they work effectively every time when used as directed, so this isn't the experience we want you to have, and we're glad you reached out. For the best results with attaching a new pad, be sure that you have the correct refill pad for the device you have, and that the printed side of the pad is facing the mop head and the white and purple strips are facing the floor when you go to apply it. Our team would be happy to share additional tips for getting the best use from your Swiffer Powermop and assist you further with this. Please give us a call at (800) 742-9220, any time from 9:00AM-6:00PM EST Monday-Friday, so we can help!

We're sorry you're disappointed to find dirt left behind when using our PowerMop, Steph16. We're dedicated to making it easier and convenient to have your home sparkling clean, and lot of thought and research goes into our product designs. For best results, we recommend that always sweep or vacuum the floor before mopping. When using the PowerMop, spray cleaning solution onto the floor by pushing the spray button on the handle down for 2 or 3 seconds to release enough solution to clean 10 square feet of floor. Spray a generous amount of solution on the area you are cleaning. Let the solution sit for 10-15 seconds. If the pad doesn't glide smoothly, spray more solution. We recommend that you clean the least dirty area first, saving the dirtiest floor for last. We hope these tips help you see sparkling results in the future. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and our Swiffer Team is standing by ready to assist you. Please give our team a call at 1-800-742-9220 from 9AM -- 6PM EST Monday -- Friday, so we can help.
