I put my Waterpik away when I was diagnosed with Mac and realized I’d have to be so cautious with water.
What kind of water do you use and how do you clean it?

Kathy I only use distilled water. I have the Waterpik Cordless Advanced Water Flosser. Had the same unit previously but made the mistake of boiling the reservoir in hot water which warped it. So now clean with white vinegar water as described in this youtube video.

Keeping our teeth and mouth clean are very important with MAC. I use my Waterpik daily with Spring water that Dr. Falkinham tested (Crystal Geyser Alpine Spring Water or Pure Life without boiling). I clean the parts of the Waterpik with vinegar and water. It is no different than cleaning all of our other nebulizing and air clearance parts.
