Nasal aspirator cleaning question

July_2009

How do you clean yours? Or should I be buying a new one everytime I use one when my DS is sick? The one I have is not cleaning friendly. I just use a wipe to clean the outside, but how does one ever clean this stuff from inside?

I use hot water and soap.  Put that in a glass or bowl, then suck it into the bulb syringe, shake it around, then blow it out and then rinse it with clean hot water.

This is what we do.

I boil the hospital grade one.  The others i make hot water/alcohol mix,  fillit and empty a few times, get as empty as possible and let it dry.

Never heard of this. But I am looking at a demo online and it seems like you blow the tube?!!
