Clean your spacer about once a month and after you have recovered from any cold or respiratory infection. Your spacer may become a bit cloudy over time, but it should not be mouldy or brown.

To clean your spacer:

Dismantle your spacer, if necessary
Wash all the parts in clean warm water with liquid dishwashing detergent.
Allow the parts to air dry without rinsing – drying with a cloth or paper towel can result in static building up on the inside of the spacer, which makes the medication stick to the sides.
Wipe the mouthpiece clean of detergent, if needed
When completely dry, reassemble if necessary.
