Why it is important to clean and disassemble the Waterpik Water Flosser regularly

We will explain to you, step by step, how to clean and maintain each part of your Waterpikwith which it will be more efficient and will extend its useful life:

Cleaning the irrigator on a regular basis

First of all, regularly clean both the reservoir and the irrigator handle regularlyto avoid the accumulation of dust and other polluting agents of the environment.

This process should be done at least once a weekwith a damp cloth and then a dry one to dry it well.

Cleaning the water tank

One of the great advantages of Waterpik irrigators is that your deposit is removable. With a little force, you can take it out and clean it easily.

All you have to do is wash it in the basin or sink with soapand then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have a dishwasher, you can wash it inside without problem, placing it in the upper tray.

He reservoir has a valve? In case you didn't know, it is through that small hole where the water passes to the handle. place it under a stream of hot water while rubbing for about 30-45 seconds. After cleaning it, let it dry at room temperature.

Before replacing the tank, be sure to clean the cavity well with a paper towel to remove any remaining dirt.

Cleaning the internal parts

When using tap water, small microscopic minerals accumulate in the irrigator filters and gradually form a stopper that prevents the water from passing properly.

To clean these parts, fill the reservoir and add 2-4 tablespoons of white vinegar. Stir well and turn it on so that the water comes out. When you have emptied half the tank, wait 20 minutes before emptying the other half. Fill the tank with normal water again and repeat the process, to remove the remains of vinegar.

Cleaning the handle and nozzles

As with filters, the internal parts of the handle and nozzles can become clogged by mineral buildup.

To clean them, Submerge the pieces in a container with warm water and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar for about 7 minutes at most.
