Safety Preparation
  • Ensure the toothbrush is completely powered off and disconnected from any charging source.
  • This prevents electrical risks and ensures safe operation without accidental activation.
  • Identify the location of the vents—often on the handle, base, or near the charging port.
Initial Cleaning
  • Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface around the vents first.
  • Remove any loose dust, toothpaste residue, or hair covering the openings.
  • This initial cleaning helps expose actual clogs and prevents spreading debris deeper.
Gentle Brushing for Mild Clogs
  • Use a soft-bristled toothbrush (preferably new) to gently brush vent openings.
  • Use light, circular motions to dislodge trapped debris.
  • Avoid applying heavy pressure to prevent bending vent slits or pushing debris inside.
Using Cotton Swabs for Stubborn Debris
  • Use a clean, dry cotton swab for stubborn residue.
  • Gently insert the tip into vent openings without pushing too far.
  • Twist slightly to pick up residue or run along narrow slits.
  • Avoid using sharp tools like pins or tweezers to prevent damage.
Final Check and Prevention
  • Check airflow by holding toothbrush near your cheek and blowing gently.
  • You should feel slight airflow if clogs are cleared.
  • Wipe vents one final time with a dry cloth to remove loosened debris.
  • Prevent future clogs by wiping vents after each use.
  • Avoid storing the toothbrush in damp, dusty areas.
