1. Fill the water reservoir.

• You can use lukewarm water, but don’t use water that is uncomfortably hot.
• Add a small cup of mouthwash twice a week to create a sterile environment.
• Do not use baking soda or salt water as you may block the pipes of the nufloss. 

2. Select and place your preferred nozzle/tip.

• Choose the nozzle that works best for you. The options are the classic jet nozzle, the periodontal nozzle, the orthodontic nozzle, the tongue cleaner tip and the toothbrush tip.

• Place and lock the nozzle/tip in place on the nufloss handle.

3. Place the nozzle/tip in your mouth.

• Start with your back teeth. Hold the tip away from the teeth and gums rather than touching them directly.
• Lean over the sink so you don’t splash water on your countertop.
• You can either start with the outside of the teeth or the inside, but make sure you spray every interdental area where a regular brush can't reach.

4. Turn on nufloss.

• Press the on-button.
• Start with the low pressure setting.
• Increase the water pressure as you go along to a rate that is comfortable.

5. Follow your gum line.

• Go tooth by tooth to ensure you get everything. Aim for the top of the tooth, the baseline of the gum and the space between each tooth.
• Trace both from behind your teeth and from the front. Essentially, you’ll be making four passes to reach the front and back of both and bottom rows.
• Hold nufloss for about two second over each tooth.
• The entire process should last for about two minutes but take your time to rinse if you feel like it.

6. Empty the water tank.

• You should pour out any remaining water.
• Leaving stale water in the reservoir can cause bacteria to grow.
