Can I rinse my Philips Groomer with water?

Published on 27 June 2025

Philips groomers have icons molded or printed on the handle to indicate whether they can be cleaned or rinsed with water. These icons may not be immediately apparent, so always check in a well-lit area. The documents provided with your product will also indicate whether or not it can be cleaned with water.

  • If your product has a crossed-out tap icon, it should not be rinsed or cleaned with water to avoid damaging the device. 
  • If your product has a tap or shower icon, it can be rinsed or cleaned with water.

Note: For some products, the detachable combs and cutting teeth may be washable while the handle is not. Check the documentation provided with your product for details.
