To clean a Nose Frida, follow these steps:
1. Disassemble the Nose Frida: Start by twisting the bottom of the suction tube counterclockwise and remove it from the main chamber. Then, detach the blue silicone tip from the main chamber as well.
2. Rinse with warm water: Rinse all the components of the Nose Frida under warm water. Make sure to rinse the main chamber, suction tube, and silicone tip thoroughly to remove any mucus or debris.
3. Soak in soapy water: Fill a bowl with warm water and mild soap. Submerge all the detachable parts of the Nose Frida in the soapy water and let them soak for a few minutes. This will help to further remove any stubborn residue.
4. Clean with a brush: After soaking, use a small brush (like a toothbrush) to scrub the inside and outside of the main chamber, suction tube, and silicone tip. This will help to dislodge any remaining mucus or dirt.
5. Rinse again: Once you have finished scrubbing, rinse all the parts thoroughly under warm running water to remove any soap residue.
6. Dry the parts: After rinsing, set all the components of the Nose Frida aside to air dry. Make sure they are completely dry before reassembling and storing to prevent the growth of bacteria.
7. Reassemble and store: Once the parts are dry, reassemble the Nose Frida by attaching the suction tube to the main chamber and securing the blue silicone tip on the other end. Store it in a clean, dry place until its next use.
