Has anyone experienced problems with using undiluted mouthwash in this unit, as opposed to water?

Have been using it in this twice a week a little diluted for a couple of months with no issues. Used it in the predecessor for > year which is still working.

I have not used mouthwash, but I don't see why it would not work just fine. We have two of theses and we both really like them. A lot easier to use that the "tethered" type that have the counter top pump and tank connected by a stiff coiled tube. These are a lot quieter than my old Water pick model.

I have tried using only a tablespoon or 2 of mouthwash added to the water, so I am not sure about using undiluted mouthwash. I think it would probably be okay as long as you thoroughly rinse the unit afterward by filling with plain water and running it for the full cycle. I'd say give it a try.

The only liquid I have ever used in this (have had several over the years) is undiluted mouthwash (Listerine-type) and it works great!

Personally, I use peroxide, as a mouthwash. Before that, I was using straight Listerine in it. Works fine.

Same here. I bought this yesterday, filled with tap water as high as the MAX water line, put some salt before going to bed. It never actually vaporized, even though I added salt again. This morning I added even more salt, and I got neither steam nor sputtering.I think it's been about 4 big fat pinches of (Redmond Real Salt) salt so far... I'm afraid of adding more in case it damages the vaporizer.Ugh, I'm so tired, I keep waking up at night with a stuffed dry bloody nose.

I suppose you could fill it with mouthwash. I don't think the mouthwash would stay pure because it's not air tight. There could be a reaction from the mouthwash sitting in the plastic container as well. It would squirt into a glass ok, still, don't think I would use it for that. They are easy to use with liquid soap and do not leak.

I have not had any problems with mine but I use a filtered water! Suggest you try that first!

First thought is out of charge. I charge mine overnight every Saturday so I do not forget. If unit is fully charged - still doesn't work - may be defective - I would return for exchange. 2nd thought is you are using mouthwash mixed with water? Instructions state unit will be damaged if you do not use plain water. Was difficult for me to get used to.

Have you tried a bleach product? I rinse mine out and then leave the filling port open. I have not had a problem.

I have been using mine for at least a year and have had no problems. I use distilled water. Not sure if that helps.

I haven't needed to clean mine (I use it on the plane), but have you tried baby wipes? If that doesn't do it I'd try a toothbrush and soapy water.

I used with water. I think it can use with water like liquid mouthwash for better result.

I use mouthwash occasionally, not everyday though. No strange thing happened to the flosser.

I run really hot water in mine, then rinse it with dish detergent, then rinse really well again and finally I used mouth wash lol . Sounds silly but it works for me

i did not have that problem. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? Or else I would try a solution of water with vinegar and baking soda swished around. Just an idea.

Either you have hard water and need to clean the unit, or possibly something got into the machine. I have taken off the plate on the bottom of the unit (kind of a long triange with 3 screws) this was recommended from one of the critiques I read. I only use bottled distilled water, as our's is so hard, and it will keep the life of the machine extended. Hope this helps.

weird trick that I use is the effervescent tablets used to clean dentures. I drop a tablet in the bottle that's filled with water. The bubbles help loosen up the gunk in the places the bottle brush cannot reach. After the effervescents, I wash the bottle with dish soap and water. and Presto! bottle is like new

You would have to dilute mouthwash with water to be able to have enough in the reservoir to cleanse properly. The level goes down pretty fast. You do, however, need to fill the reservoir with plain water & let it rin through after using mouthwash. The sugar in mouthwash will clog the apparatus.

I have developed a system in which I run it on quick rinse cold, quick rinse hot, with rice cold with extra rinse and it works perfectly. I could give more details if needed.

I did sometimes, but I realized it was user error. If the mouthpiece is not fully opened and the straw isn't all the way on, you can't get anything out of it. Hope it helps!!! That seemed to help for me :)
