Step-By-Step Guide : How To Clean Enema Equipment

Step 1: Cleaning Your Nozzle

Prepare a container made of clean plastic or your sink by adding non-toxic coconut oil soap to hot water and then filling the container.
Remove any stool that might be on your nozzle by washing it well with hot running water.
Take the nozzle off of the tube, and then swish it about in the water that has been washed and heated up.
Make sure that both ends of the nozzle are clean by using a nylon cylinder brush to do so.
Allowing your nozzle to soak in a disinfectant solution consisting of hot water mixed with a few drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract, which functions as a non-toxic sterilizing agent, is an additional step that is completely optional but highly suggested.

Step 2: Cleaning Your Enema Bag or Bucket and Tubing

When you are finished with the enema, release the clamp and pour any leftover solution into the bathtub, toilet, or sink.
After re-clamping the tubing, fill the bag with hot, soapy water while using a soap that is safe for human consumption.
In the case of bags, you can help clean them by swishing the soapy mixture around or, if necessary, by using a brush; however, the interior of the bag shouldn’t require too much cleaning.
When it comes to cleaning buckets, you can make use of a toothbrush, sponge, towel, or paper towel. When cleaning the inside of the bucket, try to avoid using scrubbers that are too rough.
Again, release the clamp, and then let the entire quantity of hot soapy water to pass through the tubing.
Step to disinfect the equipment, which is technically optional but highly recommended (there are two techniques to pick from):

Option 1: Pour hot water back into the bag or bucket, then add 6–10 drops of grapefruit seed extract. Allow this to sit for thirty to sixty minutes.

Option 2: To clean your equipment, fill a clean plastic tub or sink with enough hot water to completely submerge it, and then add 6–10 drops of grapefruit seed extract to the water. Soak all of your gear for anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes in the solution.

Step 3: Drying Your Equipment

The proper drying of your enema equipment is without a doubt the most essential step in the process. It should be hung up for at least a couple of days to ensure that it has dried completely.
When storing, throw a wadded paper towel inside the bag or bucket as a wicking material to absorb any remaining moisture and prevent mold formation. This will keep the bag or bucket from becoming contaminated with mold.

Note : Silicone can become discolored from coffee enemas, which is a natural occurrence and does not pose any health risks. Mold is something that should be avoided at all costs, although stains are much easier to spot.
