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.

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 use tap water which is hard water and not distilled water. Had no problems so far. But I don't use the humidifier frequently. Might probably want to clean with vinegar if prolonged use results in sediments or residue.

i don't have any issue, probably because i clean mine every day after i use it and once a week automatically soak the unit in a mild solution of baking soda and vinegar in water - like i do with my toothbrush.

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.

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.

Mine tasted a little funny the first few water fills, but was fine after that. I use bottled water in mine. You could try running a batch of vinegar water through it, just make sure you run a couple batches to rinse it well.

I haven't cleaned mine yet but I saw a post that suggested using lemon essential oil and an old tooth brush. I use bottled water and haven't noticed any build up so far. I absolutely love this difusser! I have two of them.

This was a great question! I tested mouthwash in my dispenser and the answer is YES! Press the output button to the maximum allowed and it will dole out exactly two teaspoons full, which is the amount needed to rinse.

I've received two units, the waterpik waterflosser ultra and the traveller. The first one works perfectly. It fulfilled and overpassed my expectations, but the traveller unit it didn't work from the first time. I complained about this malfunction and I never received a positive answer and a solution of this problem.

I didn't have any issues. Could be due to local temps/humidity. Rinse with warm water to clear it.

I have had Oral B Rechargeable toothbrushes (not the kind with replaceable batteries) and I have used in the shower for years without problem. The only thing that I have noticed is that the metal tip that drives the toothbrush head motion from the inside can rust a bit cosmetically (after many years), though it is nowhere near the part that goes into the mouth, probably because it is wet almost all the time. I have two, one that I leave in the shower and one that I leave on the sink. This only has happened to my older one, so I think they have corrected the problem with newer ones.

The water pik has different levels of water pressure one of them is fairly soft on the gums , i would take the unit to a nose doctor and show him to get his opinion if it does not harm you and you have aproblem with your nose it will be great for you. as in all matters of life get the right help.

I just use my city tap water and it has worked fine (it's not especially hard or anything, which helps). If you have issues with the 'white dust' that is common with ultrasonic humidifiers, switch to distilled water and that should solve it. So far I've had good luck with the unit.

I did not have any problem with the bottom. I did follow the directions provided and made sure I wiped the unit after using so no water got in the bottom and I did not put it under the faucet. I traveled to a number of places in Australia for a month and did not have any problem with the bottom or other parts of the toothbrush

I imagine mouth wash could clean a sink better than this product. I use Lime Away on my sink and it turns out perfect every time. However, I never leave that on for longer than a couple minutes, then I scrub the sink and rinse VERY WELL. I've been doing this for about a year and a half and haven't had any issues.

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.
