Cleaning (new & used) Equipment

Tubing can be mechanically cleaned with a CPAP tube cleaning brush; it's 7 ft long. It's a tight fit.

When you have YOUR OWN equipment that no one else uses, a good thorough hot water wash, fully disassembled is all you really need.

If you are not sure add a small amount of bleach. Does not have to be a particular brand

I wouldn't be concerned with cleaning used equipment. I would buy equipment only that was new and I would clean only my "stuff". For what it is worth, I don't buy used cars either.

I use soap and some time use medical antiseptic. I use alaminol but it is local name.

Just hot soapy water using antibacterial soap then rinse and fill the sink with hot water and a splash of bleach. Doesn't have to be too strong, a few percent bleach is good. If you can smell it you're good. Soak it for an hour or two. Nozzles can also run through the dishwasher.

I generally just take my equipment apart, wash it well with soap and water, let it dry, and store it.

If you need things to be clean then you want to be more specific than these instructions. 2 tablespoons bleach to 1 quart water, contact time of 2-3 minutes will disinfect if the surface is clean. If it is dirty then you can't depend on chemical disinfecting.

True cold sterile is another level, but disinfecting is generally good enough for what we do here.

I go along with the `10 percent blaach solution, which should not harm rubber.. Mom preferred the metal enema can as easier to clean with hot water.

Rubber is a touchier subject. The surface isn't smooth and there is a much higher risk of pathogens hiding out beyond the reach of the chemical solution. Granted, this is all a matter of balance based on what you are willing to risk "sharing", and if it's play with a spouse there isn't as much of a concern except maybe going a step or two up in cleaning if one of you is sick.

Dishwasher

Bleach and water. Dawn dish soap and warm water air dry and put away.

HOW TO CLEAN ENEMA BAGS AND TUBES

For sanitizing and cleaning equipment, almost any soap or detergent or a little bleach, diluted 1 part bleach to 10 parts water will keep your stuff very clean and in great shape.

Here is what I do:

Closed top bags, including the JBL, can be filled with detergent, like dishwasher detergent--NOT sink type dish soap-- because dishwasher detergent doesn’t foam and cleans very thoroughly. (Foaming is bad because it impedes cleaning ability of the solution.) Once the closed top bag is filled about 1/3 to 1/2 full, shake the devil out of it. Then, rinse the bag a few times with clear water and hang it upside down to drip dry. It should be very easy to clean a four quart Klystra bag. The top opening is pretty large. First, take a wet, soapy sponge and drop it into the bag, which should already be wet and soapy. Then make believe you are going to "fist" your bag. That means extend your fingers and tuck your thumb into your palm, just like the initlal anal fisting position!

If you're cleaning the bag, you should soap up your hands, so they will slide easily into the bag just like fisting so once you're in, you can just rub your hand against the entire inner surface (again, just like fisting).

Anyway, once you've thoroughly wiped the inside with the sponge, gently remove your hand and rinse the bag. The rubber of the bag should easily allow you go do this. If your forearm feels tight against the rim of the bag, remember you can use your other hand to push the bag against your hand inside the bag so all surfaces can be wiped. You shouldn't have any problem with this. After use, fill your bag with very hot water and flush out the colon tubes and hoses very well.

Soap and water or bleach diluted 1:5 or even 1:10 with water is fine for cleaning enema equipment. Boiling is not necessary. You can use bleach right out of the bottle if you want.

Closed top bags like the Paris and JBL take a long time to dry. Closed top bags should be hung with the tube side down so it can drip. Open top bags like the Klystra 4 quart, 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. Slow drying will promote mold and mildew growth.

To scrub the inside of tubing and colon tubes, you can take a long piece of bare copper wire (longer than your tube) from the electrical department of a hardware store and bend a very tight loop on BOTH ends. The first loop is to make sure the wire end is smooth and the other end is used to crimp on a tiny piece of gauze or sponge. The wire is first threaded through the wire al the way to the other end and is used to pull the end with the sponge or gauze attached all the way through the tubing. That will effectively wipe the inside walls of the tubing. You may need to experiment a bit to find the exact sponge size to pull through the tubing. Start with a small piece and work up in size if necessary. You don't want a piece of sponge falling off or getting stuck inside the tubing.

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. Everything must be completely dry before you put it away.

I often clean the bag and tubes in the shower, with the exception of a double balloon rectal catheter. The double balloon rectal catheter has to be cleaned in the sink and the valves and balloon inflation tubes kept dry.

Our S&M / enema equipment room looks like a meat locker with everything just hanging straight down from hooks. None of our equipment is ever stored coiled except for our ropes.

Actually what I do is just use the clothes washer-with no clothes, just the enema gear,

Hot water, and laundry detergent and a little bleach.

Why not?

The twins are both fully toilet trained NOW, but it's not a new washer since they weren't

And there is a younger one in the household who still has accidents. We KNOW the washer can clean up poop so why not??

I swab out my Foley tube using craft pipe cleaners before hanging to thoroughly dry. Two 12” pipe cleaners joined carefully last about six uses before the wire fatigues to the point where it will kink as it is pushed down the tube. (My Foley is FR 30.)

Monthly I rinse out the bag and hose with vinegar to remove water scale.

I think you're running more of a risk of damage than you need to and wasting water with the clothes washer. Hand wash, rifle rod down the tube now and then, and maybe some 10% bleach water to sanitize it and you're good.

For everyday cleaning I just run water down the hose, wash the nozzle by hand and hang it up to dry. Note I wouldn't do that if I was sharing with someone else, but for myself it is just fine. Remember that the most important part is CLEAN. You can't sterilize or sanitize effectively if it is not clean, and if you are just using it on yourself or yourself and a close partner most of the time sanitized/sterilized is not necessary anyway.

You actually put bags, hoses, clamps, pump bulbs, nozzles etc., into the clothes washer? What exactly do you put in there? It might occur to me to wash a nozzle or something solid in the DISHwasher, but never the clothes washer. Doesn't that also make a fair amount of noise?

I have boiled tubes and plastics (nozzles/clamps/connectors). The tubes are all silicon so no issue there. It also takes out any kinks formed while being shipped. Never have boiled either bag, 2 quart or gallon. They are silicon too, but don't have anything large enough to hold them. Bleach once in a while just for sanitary reasons on all items. I have also soaked/rinsed in vinegar or lemon juice. Sometimes rinse with alcohol for bacteria. Never had an issue with any of these methods.

I have always washed our ropes in the washing machine. They can easily get feces on them. (It is called FECES, maybe SHIT if you are an adult. CHILDREN might call it POOP if you baby talk to them and I hate baby talk.) Vaginal secretions, menstrual blood and semen also need to be cleaned off ropes, especially when made into a harness that goes through the groin, labial and anal areas.

Dildos, butt plugs, anal/rectal/intestinal insertables but NOT HOSES, nozzles, colon tubes, balloon nozzles or bags get cleaned in the dishwasher. There is no is no way to thoroughly flush cleanser and rinse water through hoses, bags and the like in a dishwasher or clothes washer. With balloon nozzles, you need to keep water out of the valves and balloons, so submersing them in a clothes washer or dishwasher is NOT a good idea.

I panned using a washing machine earlier for other things, but using it to thoroughly wash something like ropes or any sort of fabric or fabric-like material makes sense. I've never used ropes and it didn't cross my mind. You could I suppose even put in neoprene rubber like wetsuits which I use sometimes, if it couldn't be washed any other way, but as few washings as possible. I doubt that thin black latex like catsuits would be able to stand up to a washers agitation though.

First of all, you MUST get ropes into your repertoire. 😁 😁 😁

Second, I handwash all my latex lingerie and catsuits. 1000 rpm on a washer spin cycle will most likely tear latex clothes and because they aren't porous they will still contain pockets of water. Wash and dry latex catsuits by hand. Wet suits which are heavy rubber might cause unbalancing in some machines spin cycle.

Not necessrily a bad idea to use the washing machine or for bulbs and nozzles the dishwasher, but DO be careful of the TEMPERATURE

Dishwashers and some settings on the washing machine can get too hot for them

I only rinse out my bags and tubing with water as there's allot of Ivory soap already in them. Nozzles I soap up an rinse. I should, but don't, leave everything out to dry - instead I pat dry it with a towel and place them in a Xerox box with my other enema items.

I always wash mine with hot soapy water, and rinse with hot water, then let hang and air dry for a day. Occasionally I'll put a small amount of bleach and soap in and fill and let soak for a couple hours. Then repeat the 1st process again.

After EVERY enema, all the towels sheets and pillow covers go straight to the washer.

If I wore a short nightgown or dorm shirt it goes right in two.

If I wore my bath robe or my husband's old football jersey it has to wait for a second load

It is so Important to keeping the equipment is good order. Cleaning it after each use, drying it out really good. If you are using vaseline it is important to wiping it clean and getting all the vaseline off the equipment.

I always clean all equipment with hot soapy water and dry everything than rub alchol with everything making it sterile. If i am giving enemas to different guys i buy disposable bags a little pricy but i don't want to re use on a new guy. I only play safe in this area .

I give everything a good wash in the shower with me. the bag drip dries . the Nozzel is given a wash with anti bacterial soap before and after use. Never had a problem with nasty from my equipment. If the poop shoot can take loads of spunk and spit soaked toys and cocks up it the thing can take care of itself.

Milton as a steriliser :

Is it OK to use on enema equipment please?

It looks to be little different than bleach. Clorox works just fine and is a lot cheaper. Soak plastic and rubber parts in a dilute solution, per instructions, for a half hour or so. Clorox will corrode metal parts, so don't soak them.

I'm not familiar with “Milton” sterilization.

What is it?
