1. Clean the spacer once every month, after detaching the spacer from the inhaler.

3. Rinse the spacer gently with mild soap and warm water. Do not use any disinfectants to cleans the spacer.
4. Air dry the spacer, by leaving it out overnight. Do not dry the inside of a spacer by wiping it with a towel, as it can lead to built-up of static in the inside of the spacer, which can compromise the function of the spacer.
