How to clean you enema bag with Colaus®

It’s important to ensure your enema kit has been properly cleaned and dried after each use to remove any bacteria and to ensure that no mold grows inside. As an extra precaution, a visual inspection of the equipment should also be undertaken before each enema. At a minimum we recommended that you flush your bag, tubing and tips out with hot soapy water after every use and air dry before storage. However, some people prefer to go to further measures (such as boiling their equipment or dishwashing it*) of cleaning after each use or on a semi regular basis. The following is a more detailed method that some people like to follow using weak hydrogen peroxide to ensure any bacteria is killed.

• Take your enema kit apart, removing the tube from the bag and the tip from the tube.
• Wash each part of the kit separately using a mix of anti bacterial soap and water. Turn the bag inside out while washing to ensure all contents are cleaned thoroughly. Wash off with warm water.
• Reconnect all the pieces of the kit and pour two cups of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide into the enema bag and let it flow through the tube and the tip before applying the clamp to trap most of the liquid. For an even deeper clean, keep liquid in the bag and tube using the clip for 2 to 10 hours.
• Drain the liquid and thoroughly wash with water. Leave to air dry with the clamp open for up to 12 hours. Ensure the kit is completely dry before storage. *Do not boil any pieces*
