Oooops!!
Not a good plan lucky its still working though some inhalers do not appreciate been put through the wash but, I am sure we have all done it at some point.
i aint washed my inhaler in the washing machine (yet) but have everything else you can think of,easy mistake!!! ha ha ha.
how about a mobile phone
I put my daughters mobile through the wash after it dried out it work fine including the camera
No worries at all if you wash your inhaler - mine recently went in and out of a swimming pool several times (along with me, obviously, fully clothed) and then went through the washing machine AND the tumble drier.....
The latter probably definitely NOT recommended (and entirely unintentional), but we survived without any unanticipated explosions, and the inhaler still worked fine. It would appear that they are incredibly durable!!
LOL inhaler speed wash!
With me the only things that end up accidently in the wash are usually tissues or guitar plectrums - luckily they usually remain in the pockets!
fine so long as it is an aerosol inhaler, but the dry powder ones don't work if they get wet - so turbohalers etc are useless - took me a while to persuade people that a turbohaler was a daft idea when I was going kayaking!

i once accidentally 'washed' my inhaler in the toilet. i didn't bother to see if it still worked after that ...
I think you can tell if aerosol inhalers are empty if they float or sink in water.
Floating being empty.
Mind you, you would probably know that before you tested it!
