To clean the water reservoir of a dental irrigator, first ensure you disconnect the device from any power source and remove the water reservoir according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, empty the reservoir and rinse it with warm water to remove any loose residue. Afterward, you can fill the reservoir with a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar, or water with mild soap.
Allow the solution to sit in the reservoir for about 15-20 minutes to disinfect and remove limescale deposits and bacteria. Then, use a soft toothbrush or cleaning brush to gently scrub the inner walls of the reservoir and remove any stubborn dirt. Make sure to rinse the reservoir thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue from the cleaning solution.

It’s important to perform this cleaning process regularly, ideally after each use, to maintain the dental irrigator in optimal hygiene conditions and prolong its lifespan. Always follow the manufacturer’s specific instructions for device maintenance and cleaning.
