Acapella advice

[Dottie11]

May I ask for tips on cleaning. Poor use of hands , drop things often . Do not want to use the sink. Type and size of bowl ? Or any other suggestions please.

What about a small washing up bowl. A small one would possibly suit better than a regular one, because easier to manage and won’t overfill with water….

I use an empty ice cream plastic tub

My husband washes all my equipment. He uses a small round plastic bowl kept for the purpose, with hot water & washing up liquid. Then he boils everything weekly, in an asparagus pot with a lid & removable basket! He’s a legend 🤣

[Dottie11]

Lovely to read. He must be such a help. I don't have that option due to his own restrictions.

Hi dottie I use a sandwich box rinse it in washing up liquid, then I use same box and add a babies sterilising tablet to fresh water to make sure its clean before drying and reuse. I have 2 acapella devices so clean one whilst other being washed.

[Dottie11 in reply to B0xermad]

That is a really good tip. I think I will buy another one as concerned about drying it. Thank you.

Hi dottie I get mine from respiratory department at the hospital on nhs

[Dottie11 in reply to B0xermad]

Thank you. I have my NHS Pysio in a few weeks. So will ask. I have only just been diagnosed but have struggled for a long time. There is a strong family history of my condition so I though I would get going and buy one. I am ok to use but could not read the writing as very small on leaflet and wanted to make sure my cleaning method was spot on. Everyone has been so very helpful.

I knew someone who had a small washing up brush that had a suction cup, so she stuck it to the side of the sink and then had both hands free to handle the china/cutlery.
