How to Clean a Waterpik® Water Flosser
Mineral deposits and other materials can collect in your Water Flosser, causing it to lose pressure and
effectiveness.
Here are 4 steps for simple cleaning with water, vinegar, and your dishwasher to keep your Water
Flosser performing at its best. Complete this process every 1-3 months to ensure optimal performance.
Step 1: 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 WP-100/112 (Ultra), WP-260 (Kids), WP-300 (Traveler), WP-60/65
(Classic), WP-72 (Classic Professional), or WP-900 (Complete Care), remove the black reservoir
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 the 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.)
The reservoir is top-rack dishwasher safe.
Step 2: Clean the Internal Parts
Mix 2-4 tablespoons (1-2 ounces) of white vinegar with 16 ounces of warm water.
Fill the reservoir with the solution, and then run 1/2 of it through the Water Flosser.
For countertop models, with the unit off, place the Water Flosser handle in the sink and allow
the solution to gradually drain out the handle for 20 minutes.
Run any remaining solution through the unit and then rinse with a full reservoir of warm water.
