I have to clean my wife's spacer regularly, and the key is to wash it gently with warm soapy water and let it air dry completely. Don't rub the inside with a cloth because that creates static energy. Just like keeping an eye on BP, maintaining hygiene is crucial for preventing infections.
I completely understand how stressful it feels when you're worried about keeping your medical equipment sterile. I used to panic constantly thinking I'd do it wrong and get an infection. Just soak it in warm water with a bit of mild dishwash liquid for 15 minutes, rinse, and let it air dry on a clean towel.
I was actually researching this for my younger brother and found out that we shouldn't use harsh detergents or boiling water. Just a normal rinse with mild soapy water once a week is recommended. It seems so simple but we often ignore it.
I just cleaned mine yesterday because my doctor reminded me during my follow-up last week. Just disassemble the parts, soak them in warm water with a drop of liquid soap, rinse well, and let it dry overnight. Do not wipe it with a towel or tissue because it leaves paper bits inside.
Cleaning it is super easy and barely takes 5 minutes! Just shake it in warm soapy water, rinse it under running water, and let it dry naturally. Keep it clean to breathe easy and stay happy!
