Why isn't my spray bottle working?Updated an hour ago
TL;DR: Start by clearing the nozzle and checking you're using a compatible fill. If the issue persists, contact us with a short video and photos of the bottle and we'll arrange a replacement under warranty.

Which spray bottle do I have?
Green trigger. Produces foam. No weighted ball on the tube.
Translucent white trigger. Fine mist. Weighted ball on the tube for 360-degree spray.
Translucent green bottle. Clips into the Spray Mop holster. Twist to remove.
How do I clear the nozzle?
A blocked nozzle is the most common cause of dribbling or weak spray. Try this first.
✓ Three steps
Remove the trigger head and rinse it under warm running water.
Pump clean water through several times until the spray is clear and consistent.
Reattach and test.
If the trigger feels stiff or output is still uneven after clearing, the mechanism may be faulty. Skip to the warranty section below.
Am I using a compatible fill?
Not all Koh products are compatible with Foaming Spray Bottle. Using the wrong product can block or damage the mechanism.
