Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions
Your Waterpik® Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and antibacterial
solutions. After using any special solution, rinse unit to prevent clogging by partially
filling reservoir with warm water and running unit with tip pointed into sink until
unit is empty.
Cleaning
Never immerse unit in water. Clean the product when necessary by using a soft
cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser to wipe exterior.
The water reservoir is removable for easy cleaning and is top rack dishwasher safe.
It is recommended that the reservoir is removed and cleaned weekly.
Removing Hard Water Deposits / General Cleaning
Hard water deposits may build up in your unit, depending on the mineral content
of your water. If left unattended, it can hinder performance. Cleaning internal
parts: add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to a full reservoir of warm water. Point
the handle and tip into sink. Turn unit ON and run until reservoir is empty. Rinse by
repeating with a full reservoir of clean warm water.
This process should be done every 1 to 3 months to ensure optimal performance.
