Another money saving win using salt to clean my water flosser nozzle

I’ve had my h2ofloss water flosser for about six months and honestly love it, but lately the nozzle started turning a little green. My bathroom is pretty humid, so I guess that’s no surprise.

I went down an internet rabbit hole looking for quick cleaning tips. One person said to use an effervescent tablet in the tank and let it sit for ten minutes. Another suggested putting a few grains of salt directly in the nozzle. Someone else even mentioned using a bit of cling film soaked in dish soap and pushing it through, but that sounded like too much work.

I didn’t have any tablets, and the cling film thing just sounded messy, so I went with the salt trick. To my surprise, it actually worked. The nozzle looked way cleaner afterward.

Sure, the proper solution would be buying a new nozzle, but this cost me nothing and gave me a tiny victory moment. I also decided to keep my water flosser in the living room now since it’s drier there.

TL;DR: My water flosser nozzle turned green from humidity. I cleaned it with salt, it worked, and I saved a few bucks.
