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.

For best results, we recommend using 10ml of Dyson 01 Hard Floor Cleaning Solution each time you fill the clean water tank. Dyson 01 Hard Floor cleaner effectively eliminates 99.9% of bacteria.

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™ wet floor 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.
