can anybody vouch for using sd alcohol instead of the braun cleaner product?

I've had an activator for about two years. You can get a gallon can of DN Alcohol at Ace Hardware for about ten bucks. I'm about halfway through my second gallon. Rinse out the reservoir with ordinary tap water and let air dry. I rotate them - one in use, one drying. Pour 1/2 cup of the DN Alcohol, and add 2t of lemon extract. It's just like the commercial solution! Good luck.

I would never buy the Clean and Renew system again. I only bought it with my first Braun. It is a gimmick which is expensive. You can easily brush out cut whiskers or carefully wash them out. It is not like the whiskers are actually dangerous and a health concern. I know of wha I speak.

{ have used the Disc washer system for a long time and it seems RCA has bought the francize. I have seen on the web for doing your own with that solution that you put up. but I have had great success with this system. Disc washer originally had a blue felt pad or whatever it's make up was. The alcohol will lift the dirt The detergent will hold it and then the pad picks it up. The only one that I know of and this is long ago there was a system that you sprayed on the disc and then like a thin coating of plastic you would peel it up taking all the contaminates with it. I don't remember the name of the product because it was expensive back then. A better pad no but a micro fiber cloth would also work. { have used the Disc washer system for a long time and it seems RCA has bought the francize.

The cleaner contains a dry film lubricant similar to Molykote® 557 Silicone Dry Film Lubricant made by Dow Corning. It is not simply isopropyl alcohol. I would add Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil to the alcohol if I were trying to "stretch it." (Actually, I would not try to "stretch it.")

I am a loyal Braun user and found a new one on amazon. This was a couple of years ago so not sure if a vendor offers one.

I have used several concentrated products for cleaning from Sams Club based on the stain issue. Would not recommend "foamy" types of cleaners. I have used lysol, fabulosa, oxy orange, purple power

Looks like it should work but not what I used it for. You could try Goof Off or rubbing alcohol too

I personally don't think that the cleanser works very well. I have been using 99% rubbing alcohol, and lint free nail pads or paper towels. Works much better!!!

Nope. I left a great review on this. The other cleaners I tried would streak. This is the only one that works great in my opinion and you get more of it then you do other brands too.

As per below, I use Starbucks House Blend. I can't see it being a problem. Cleaning the chute every few days, it's simple and helpful.

NO. The Braun 350 (looks) like the 340 and even takes the same head, but the similarities end there. The 350 has different electronics that responds to electronic (cycling) of the (cleaning & charging station). The 340 does not have this capability. How do I know this? My Son has the 350 (which I view as far to expensive) and I have the 340. Also, the replacement cleaning cartridges for the 350 cost about $12.00. I also found a way to circumvent this cost. Empty the dirty alcohol/water solution and refill the cartridge with clean solution myself. After several years of use, I personally see little value in paying for a 350 model, as both give an identical shave. NO.

Im not sure. I only bought the shaver. I rinse this shaver (with the shaving head removed) after every use with warm water. I would go to the Braun website to check if there is a set with the cleaning unit.

I bought the whole package when I bought mine. But after a while I put the santizer piece in the cabinet and just use the travel charger. I never had a sanitizer for my regular toothbrush. I think it is a way for them to make more money off of the consumer, my opinion. I purchased one for my son for Christmas and just got the tooth brush with the portable charger (comes with it) for $89 minus twenty percent coupon and they are offering a rebate right now. Bed Bath and Beyond have all you need. About the Diamondclean, you can purchase the diamondclean heads and they fit on the flexcare plus. The diamondhead is just a stiffer bristle brush and I like it a lot. I will continue to buy the diamond clean replacement brushes as I like a stiffer bristle brush! Hope this has helped! SLA

I've not used Braun. I'm a hairdresser and cut/shave men. It's great to remove 5:00 shadow, if however, you don't shave for a few days, it doesn't do well on longer hair. It's also great for teenagers starting with peach fuss on mustache and chin. I also use it on neckline after using trimmers to give cleaner look.

I have not cleaned up win with it yet, but I have cleaned up split dark beer and brown soda which are probably similar in nature to wine. I have never let anything soak in though so if you are writing this about a stain you currently have I can make no guarantees.

I used tap water but I also only used the product once before I returned it. I was just not happy with the hassle of using it versus the regular ole' scrubbing with cleaners. However, I do think Hoover recommends distilled water.
