who to clean the tip
263927
I use a soft toothbrush and soak in alcohol, then let dry on a paper towel.

I clean out the inside with a damp q-tip. But, don't forget to replace the tip every 3 or 4 months, depending on how much you use it.

I clean the tip of the handheld unit using a very small cleaning brush that came with a hair trimming kit. It's perfect... and I use it to clean the tip after each use. Otherwise, I can see the tip getting really dirty and clogged with the dead skin that's been suctioned off. If you don't have such a cleaning brush, perhaps you can use some sort of small cosmetic-type brush with slightly firm bristles. In addition, I also use a cottom pad with alcohol to disinfect the tip of the handheld piece, every other time I use my machine. I hope this response helps.

I use the toothbrush with very warm water, spray it with hard pressure - alcohol - then I dry it because of the metal tip with the diamond cutting, bacteria sets in - I do this every time I use it...I am a germaphobic....lolPAJ

My response is for the Kendal machine. I doubt that the NuBrilliance tips will hold up to much cleaning before cracking.

A word of caution. Try to remove the metal tip as rarely as possible. The metal is "extremely" lightweight and WILL STRIP. Care is not so much the problem as the actual removal. I now leave mine on, wipe the outside and run steam into the frothing pitcher full of water to do any cleaning needed.

My order was for a cane that was cut to my height so I did not have to remove a old one. But if your removing a tip it must be worn out so just cut it off. Run a sharp knife down it's side. You get that top part loose and you can work it off.

Soak it for as long as you can and then scrape whatever is left. A hard plastic spatula usually works, but since it's stainless, I think it's ok to use metal to scrape it clean as well.

I use mine infrequently, so I just keep the tip submerged in oil when not in use, dry it off and just put a few drops in the barrel before use. I was really surprised at how well this thing works.

This is slightly off topic. I just bought the new Water Pik (WP100) from Amazon. I bought the Nasal tip from Anthony Products. They have a minimum order so I had to buy four of them. Since I only have one nose I have more of the tips than I need. I still have two for the WP100 and one for the old machine (WP60, WP70). These are made of stainless steel and Delrin. The Dr. Grossan tip looks real cheap next to them.At any rate they are never used and in the sealed plastic bags. I will take $14 each plus shipping.Phil

Repeatedly. Just make sure the tip is clean; as it may contain residual contaminants from a prior usage.

I had the exact same problem. I finally broke down and bought some extra tips. Supposedly you can soak them in acetone to clean the tips.(I think it needs to soak for 24 hrs.

I clean the screw-on tip every time I refill the bottle. I just soak it for a few minutes in a container filled with antibacterial dish soap. This prevents any build up problems. If you already have an accumulation of dirt, I would recommend using a q-tip

you should always clean something new. ,vinegar and water rinse a couple of times.

I clean the burner tubes with a torch tip cleaner. You can get a tip cleaner at the hardware store or a farm and fleet store

I'm sorry, I'm not sure. Maybe call the company. I can say it takes some pre rinsing to get them fully clean.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have never had the need to use any kind of cleaner when using this brush/rubber tip. It works so well getting the dirt/dust etc off. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have a blue tip that came with the machine and a yellow tip that was purchased separately. They are exactly the same tip, just different color.

I don,t know. however they look like they will last a long time. Even if you needed to replace the tip, it is so cheap that buing another one would be no big deal!

The tip is removable. Maybe uses standard tips. Try calling the manufacturer.

Try a little Energine or another dry cleaning solvent on the back side. If there is no bleaching from the dry cleaner, you're likely OK with Host.
