About your Dyson PencilWash™ wet cleaner

To set up and use the Dyson PencilWash™ wet cleaner, first ensure the dirty water tank is empty, clean, and securely fitted. Remove the clean water tank and fill it with water (up to 35°C/95°F). Do not use hot or boiling water. Add the recommended floor cleaning solution – never use bleach. Reattach the tank, fit the high-density microfibre roller, and power on the machine. Before cleaning, run the roller for 10 seconds to hydrate it, then select Auto or Max mode based on your cleaning needs and glide Dyson PencilWash™ across your hard floors.

When using floor cleaning solutions, do use gentle, low-foaming common household detergents and do not use bleach. Be sure to follow the solution’s specific direction for dilution. We do not recommend putting neat detergents in the clean water tank.

We recommend emptying the dirty water tank when the clean water tank runs out of water. The dirty water tank has a capacity of 360ml to re-collect all liquid from the clean water tank (300ml) with additional capacity for any dust and debris picked up.

After cleaning, empty and rinse both the clean and dirty water tanks, wash the roller under running water, and wipe down the machine before storage. Leave the roller to air-dry fully before returning it to the cleaner head.

We recommend that owners wash the Dyson PencilWash™ cleaner head and wet roller after every clean.

We recommend replacing the wet roller every six months to maintain optimum performance. This will vary depending on how often you use your machine.
