Cleaning Equipment

I'm new to enemas, and I just bought a closed-top bag.

I would like your input on how to keep my new toy nice and clean.

The last time, I boiled all of the parts in a pot of water for about 10 minutes... However, I'm a little concerned this might degrade the materials.

Should I be going about it a different way?

Also, how long do you think it takes a bag to dry? I have it hanging in my closet, but would like to be able to store it flat and out of sight once it's dry.

Closed top bags take a LONG time to dry. Closed top bags should be hung with the tube side down so it can drip. Open top bags should be hung right side up for best dripping and air access. An open top bag will obviously dry faster. You want it to dry fast, so make your final rinse with hot water and shake it out the best you can.

Colon tubes, double balloon rectal catheters, and other tubes should be hung straight and vertically, NOT coiled until they are completely dry. coiling will dramatically slow down drying and promote mold growth.

Soap and water or bleach diluted 1:5 is fine for cleaning enema equipment. Boiling is not necessary.

Our S&M/enema equipment room looks like a meat locker with everything just hanging straight down from hooks. Nothing is coiled with the exception of ropes.

The use of grapefruit seed extract is a lot of bunk. Here's my post and it contains a scholarly, scientific, refereed journal reference:

If you have nozzles with very small holes take a brush that comes with a electric razor & use it to brush out the small holes.

I use Ivory liquid to clean my equipment after each use. The combo bag takes longer to dry so I let it hang on the shower most of the time.
