Learn how to clean your Water Flosser in 5 easy steps.
Step 1: Clean the outside of the unit.
Clean the outside of the product when necessary by using a soft cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser.
Step 2: Clean the water reservoir.
- Remove the water reservoir from the unit. (Refer to your product manual if you need assistance).
- If using a countertop model that contains a small black reservoir valve, remove the valve by pushing on it from the bottom. Clean the valve by massaging it under warm water for 30-45 seconds and set aside.
- Place the reservoir in the top rack of your dishwasher for cleaning. We recommend air drying instead of a heated dry cycle.
- If you removed a valve, place it back in the reservoir before use. (Dome side up, push in place so the four prongs are visible on the bottom of the reservoir.)
- Reservoirs can also be hand washed with warm soapy water.
The reservoir is top-rack dishwasher safe.
Step 3: Clean the internal parts.
- Based on your model, mix 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar with 16 ounces of warm water.
- Run this solution through the unit until the reservoir is empty.
- Rinse by repeating with a full reservoir of clean warm water.
Mix white vinegar with a full reservoir of warm water and run the solution through the unit.
Step 4: Clean the handle (for countertop models)
Note: Do not soak the handle of the Radiance (WF-09) model as it contains a non-replaceable battery.
- Remove the tip from the unit using the eject button.
- Soak the Water Flosser handle in a mixture of 2 parts water, 1 part white vinegar for 5-7 minutes.
- Rinse the handle under warm water.
- Clean the Water Flosser tip separately using step #5.
Soak the handle of countertop units in vinegar/water mixture for 5-7 minutes.
Step 5: Clean the flosser tip.
- Remove the tip from the unit using the eject button.
- Soak the Water Flosser tip in a container of 2 parts water, 1 part hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar for 5 minutes.
- Rinse the tip under warm water.
- For maximum effectiveness over time, we recommend replacing Water Flosser tips every 3-6 months. The tips can become clogged and/or affected by mineral deposits.
Soak the flosser tip in vinegar/water mixture for 5 minutes.
Complete this process every 1-3 months to ensure optimal performance.
