waterpik water flosser
I have been reading up on the forum on various ways to clean watches etc. I got a waterpik ultra water flosser for christmas and figured what the hell . I cleaned my rolex 16613 with it and was amazed how much dirt and grime came off. This watch was not cleaned for a while but didn't look that bad before I waterpiked it. I put it on a high setting and and blasted the nooks and crannies of my watch with hot water and WOW. Be careful and go outdoors it can get messy

This is a proven method. Keep the bracelet below the water line and no mess

It's no substitute for floss, of course.

I've tried the water pic...but...a hand held steam cleaner works 1000% better with less mess. You can get them for $20 at Walmart or Target. Blasts away all the gunk.

This is interesting. Can you post a pic of which one you have.

Very similar to what I have. Shoots a jet of hot steam. Excellent for cleaning bathrooms and kitchens too!

I got Waterpik this Christmas, it has a very good massage function, I use it often. the water flosser is a great tool to keep our teeth healthy and clean and in good shape. I listened to my dentist and said it can help remove plaque. Time will tell.

Great to know! I will have to 'pik' one up on Black Friday or Boxing day as they tend to be cheaper around that time (on Amazon).

I got the system that has an ultrasonic toothbrush and flosser built into one base. I didn't love either of them so I was planning to toss it. As I'm walking to the trash can I think of using it as a watch cleaner. So its in my basement ready for use. The toothbrush also does a nice job on the clasp with a little soap.

I bought my wife a Waterpik for Christmas last year.
Would it be bad for me to secretly use for watch cleaning? She just left for worl and I’m on holidays this week.

twice a year I pop my bracelet off and drop it into an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner and then I take the same fluid to the watchhead with a small brush. Works great!

I have only put it in my mouth not on my watch.
We have a hand held steamer, that actually seems like a great idea. I'll make sure not to hold it with my bare hands |
