How do you clean and dry the sensor, after it's been wet? My daughter often wets more than once a night.

We rinse it clean with warm water and pat dry with a towel. You could also use a type of wipe to clean it.

You can dry the sensor and hold the button at the same time and it should reset. If the alarm is still sounding then that means that there is moisture inside the actual alarm portion. Please contact our office if we can help further.

We usually just wipe it clean with a washcloth before reattaching to underpants. The alarm will go off with just a drop of urine. If you get to it quickly, it shouldn't be that wet. Eventually she will learn to stop herself when she hears it, but it may take a little time.

We just used a damp cloth and a dry one. Also we placed the sensor on the outside of the underwear down in that area near where the underwear has a seam (close to where she would be peeing). Seemed to work really well for us.

I had the same problem earlier on, so I contacted the manufacturer and thought that i would be returning this. I got a prompt response. Basically it happens when oil builds up on the bottom (too much oil used or some of my oil seem to cause a problem more than others). They just told me to clean it well and dry overnight, which I did and it worked like a charm. Now I just rinse it with hot water before use and once a while put a tiny drop of Dawn in it and clean/dry with q-tip. I've had it for several months now and hadn't had any problems. It's in my kiddos' room and we use it nightly, they won't go to sleep without it. I do use it in the living room here and there too, as needed. Hope this helps :)

I wash mine in the bathtub, shake it, set it up against the tub edge, come back in 10 min, repeat. Should be pretty dry then, put back in furnace.

it happens but i don't find the need to clean it every time...unless yours is a particularly leaky one, try cleaning it once a week or even every two weeks...longer than that might be funky but i've had no problem with waiting a couple of weeks to remove and clean...try it.fs

That's what I do. I only clean and change the water in the reservoir. I only check the water in the sensor when the plants don't seem to be getting enough water-the sensor has to be completely full for the plant sitter to work properly.

you need to clean it. Mine did the same thing. Follow the instructions that came with the unit.if you don't have them anymore take the batteries out first, then put the unit in a throw away pan with a little unscented laundry detergent. Let it soak for about an hour and then use an old toothbrush to clean the bottom. Only put enough water in to cover the bottom part of the unit. Rinse it out thoroughly and let air dry. Put the battery back in and you're good to go.

Yes it's still working once dry but i don't like the smell of it. So I soak the damaged items for half a day with about a cup mixed with washing machine low level water, then I wash with Tide & downy. Then I do a smell check & if all out then dry but if I still smell urine then I soak again. It's only not worked on one item ( a nylon jacket).

I had that problem time to time after the first few years. An easy solution is, while it's on and seems to be stuck, pick it up straight out of the water and shake it side to side and front to back for about 15 seconds and place it back in the water. Hope this helps!

Mine did that a few times and it was one defective unit (garage) that kept triggering the system. They are quite sensitive to any kind of debris. You should also use a vacuum every 6 months and suck out any dust build up of the sensors to help prevent this.

I found the same thing...all wet!.. I will try to move it closer, or perhaps place it on a try with a towel underneath. Love the size and it works well.

if it is still wet, just wash with soap and water ... but if you let it dry ... you will need to scrub ... hard. :-)

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

Try this: Remove cover, empty out all the water and then fill it with fresh water. If that doesn't work, then try this: unplug it, remove cover, inside you will see sensor (it sticks up a little with a silver metal on top) touch the sensor with your finger. For some reason this works. I think the sensor gets stuck "thinking" the water level is low, so the unit doesn't go on.

I did reset mine but I probably didn't need to. I also covered the sensor with a piece of tape.

I actually take some vinegar in a cup and put the steamer wand in it and let it set over night. That always seemed to help. I also clean it out with vinegar every other week and then followed by running water through it about three times.

I use kaboom or scrubbing bubbles. I spray it on, let it sit, and then rinse it off. on any stubborn places, I wipe it too.

I had to replace one a few years ago. I believe I reset it so many times that the reset failed to function properly. I read Hippie Bob's suggestion and wish I had tried that before I discarded the original sensor. Good luck .
