Oh dear

3 Replies

doing my laundry today meant that i had to wash my cybers (funky trousers with hooks and other pieces of metal attatched), of course by hand. After pegging them on the line i have discovered that one of my reliever inhalers is in the pocket. It got handwashed!!

Is it ruined or can the soggy inhaler be saved?

It rather depends what kind of reliever you take...ordinary MDIs of mine have been washed and tumble dried to no ill effect, but if it's a dry powder inhaler you may have to throw it away.

it was a normal MDI, i used to have the dry powder disk inhalers, they were a pain lol, i'll check up on it and see if its ok
