Cleaning (new & used) Equipment

@LisaK

Google is your friend.

The best question to start out with is how clean do you need it. If it's your enema equipment going back in you the answer is usually just “clean.” as in soap and water and let it dry.

Sterile requires a whole bunch of steps to attain and maintain.

Most people just mean disinfect or sanitize even when they say “sterile” and for that you can use boiling water or bleach, but do watch out for the metal and clothing. Note that most people make the solution stronger than they need to.

Cold sterilization still involves a lot of strange chemicals.

I would rather just use heat and do things the conventional way.

Hello.

I was told about Milton sterilisation by a very well known and highly experienced colon hydrotherapist, who also worked in the colo-rectal department of a major hospital. I have used Milton tablets, to make up a sterilising solution, for my enema nozzles, bags and anal toys after every use for many years and have never had a problem. Half a tablet in two litres of water.

New Red Bag - Tips for cleaning :

I finally own a red bag enema kit! It's a closed-top setup from Mabis rubber works, with a douche nozzle and a short narrow one. It's quality stuff, with very, very good thick rubber that seems like it will last a long time, and a very solid clip that stops the flow completely.

I bought it brand new from a medical supplier that specialized in geriatric products; rather an unusual story, as I bumped into a current coworker of mine in the showroom, who saw me with the kit from a distance, and then the cashier was a very attractive female ex-coworker from seven years ago that I… may have had erotic dreams about at the time. In fact, for a brief stretch after I left that job I used to dream of having her dominate me, though enemas were not involved. She used to wear scrubs at our old workplace, though, so maybe I did imagine that at some point.

Trying it out when I got home, I come to realize that I've been talking a good bit about things I know nothing about. I'd never had a real one before, apparently; my previous improvised can fountain enema (which I have now thrown away) didn't generate a quarter of the pressure and flow that this setup does when the bag is hung high; this has a much wider and longer hose. The douche nozzle is also the longest nozzle I've had up my ass so far, and the effect with even moderately warm water is that of a severe punishment as it quickly rushes in and expands to fill the rectum and beyond.

My improvised setup was built around a (new and unused!) aquarium air hose with a very small diameter, which conveniently formed a press fit when I pushed it into the base of a fleet bottle enema nozzle. So there was very little stepdown between the hose and the nozzle, meaning that the head of pressure forcing the water through the nozzle was not great. Also the hose was less than three feet long, reducing the potential pressure altogether.

On this new kit, I could hang it from the cord of my ceiling fan, though I suppose too high is not recommended.

So how do you clean these? My old setup I cleaned by running hot soapy water through and then rinsing with boiling water. Can this stand up to boiling water or should I just rinse it with piping hot water, to dissolve all the soap residue? At some point do I need to purchase one of those brushes like we used to clean our band instruments with, that you pull through the tube with a string?

Clean it the same as you do any bag, although they take longer to dry.

I've only had a can before, and an improvised one at that. I have no experience with bags at all.

Wash it through with plain hot water & hang to dry fully

Never use a product such as Shower Cleaners to remove soap residue…To neutralize bacterial media part fill bag & add in some pure white (clear) vinegar & allow to soak

Don't necessarily stick to red!

Look at overall materials and build quality.

The bag I use when I DO occasionally douche is green.

My Father's first bag was BLUE!

I have not seriously washed anything that has been on my bottom since I was a child. This was because the devices had to be concealed and there was no way to store (dry) them under appropriate conditions. Nowadays, when I have a lot of different appliances, I simply wash them with soap under running water after use. And also just to get rid of lubricant residues. I am not worried about the bacteria that have remained there, because in my bottom, from which they have remained there, there are a million times more. And if someone wants to pass out, I would say that there are many more and worse bacteria in the mouth of any person. Therefore, at least for now, when using and storing my toys in this way, I have not experienced any signs of the slightest infection. The environment around us is much more biologically polluted than at the bottom of your family and friends (at least insofar as they are not sick with anything found in the laboratory).

I generally just fill the bag with hot very soapy water and open the clamp and drain with the nozzle attached then follow up with several plain water washes, I worry more about letting the bag dry before storing

For equipment from someone else you should be more careful. I have gotten some used equipment and my protocol generally is a thorough cleaning with soap and water then pop it in a pressure cooker for 10 minutes at 15lbs (1 bar if you are metric). Let it cool down and you're pretty safe. Best if you use the “bottle rack” to keep the rubber from direct contact with the pan bottom. Heat will take care of most of the pathogens that may be in crevices.

Hi, after flushing my enema bag, tubing & nozzles i use compressed air to blow out tubing & nozzles to vacate any remaining water! Then store them in a dry closet!
