If you have a colostomy bag, it’s important to keep it clean and free of bacteria. Here are some tips on how to do just that:
- Wash the bag with warm, soapy water every day. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
- If the bag gets really dirty, you can use a mild bleach solution or hydrogen peroxide to clean it. Be careful not to get any of the solution on your skin or in your nose or mouth.
- Dry the bag thoroughly before storing it away. ..
