Great demo! Didn’t know about the 2 different ways of inhaling this inhaler or how to clean the device. Thank you!

How do you clean the old versions where the top doesn't come off?
Hi Helen. Thanks for your question. You can put these on the top rack of your dishwasher but also you can:
- Remove the back rubber piece from the device.
- Soak both parts for about 15 minutes in luke warm water with mild liquid detergent and shake gently.
- Shake off excess water but importantly do not rub dry the Aerochamber.
- Air dry in a vertical position.
- Replace back rubber piece when completely dry.
Do make sure you get a replacement from your GP/pharmacy every 6 months.
