Cleaning the Spray Nozzles on a Swiffer?

I have a Swiffer that is about 6 months old, but one sprayer does not work. Nothing comes out of the spray hole. What can be done? Is there a way to clean the spray nozzles?

You could carefully soak that part of the swiffer in hot water (with bottle unattached) and that might dissolve the buildup inside the sprayer. Another idea is to carefully take a needle to try and clean out the sprayer hole.

Absolutely nothing worked on the right side sprayer that was just barely "dribbling"...Not even after soaking and again using a pin in the hole numerous times. Finally just took the (all still good) batteries out. And using a Q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol, I gently cleaned/wiped all the contacts with the rubbing alcohol dipped Q-tip including the spring contacts, AND each end of each battery.

Then, put it all back together. And presto! It now works just like new, spraying like it should from each side!!

I did all of this and it still won't spray. It's not the motor or batteries help

I tried all the solutions posted and nothing worked. I considered buying a new Swiffer but I saw that recent reviews posted seemed to indicate that the mop is not being made as well as in the past. Finally, I made my own low-tech solution. I removed the bottle of cleaner and unscrewed the top (you might need to use a pliers for this step).

Then I removed the batteries. I replaced the bottle top with a manual trigger sprayer. Now I spray the floor and then I use the mop. And no batteries to replace. When I use up the Swiffer brand of cleaner I just might make my own-even more savings.

I didn't think I needed new batteries because each tested at 1.49 but sure enough put in new ones and voila both sprays worked again!!

I put in new batteries, and remember there are "lights", if the lights are working then the batteries are good and working, but still I can't get SPRAY from either side. If the battery connectors were dirty the lights would not go on. So what now?

Remove the spray bottle. The battery panel is behind the location of the spray bottle. There is a thumb-shaped notch in the middle of the panel. Slide the battery panel upward toward where you normally hold the handle.

It might take some force to move the panel if it has not been previously performed. The Swiffer requires 4 AA batteries.
