Your Power Flosser should be cleaned once a week. Please see the instructions below, depending on your model.

Cordless Power Flosser

Warning: Do not clean the Cordless Power Flosser while the charging cord and adapter are attached. Unplug the device and close the charging port cover before cleaning.
 
  • Clean the reservoir by gently twisting it clockwise when removed from the power flosser. Hand wash with warm water and mild soap or place in the top rack of a dishwasher.
 
  • Clean the handle by wiping it with a soft cloth and mild soap.
 
  • Clean the nozzles regularly by removing them from the handle and rinsing the tip under warm water. Every few months or if your nozzle becomes clogged, soak it in a container of 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar for 5 minutes. Rinse the nozzle with warm water.
 

  • The internal components, hose and handle can be cleaned by filling the reservoir with warm water and 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar. Point the nozzle at the sink and turn the Cordless Power Flosser on, then run the solution until the reservoir is empty. Rinse by repeating with a full reservoir of clean, warm water.
