🌸 How to Wash Reusable Ostomy Bag Covers
At Nuvibe Living, we design our handmade ostomy bag covers to be gentle, durable, and easy to care for. Follow these cleaning tips to extend their life and keep them skin-safe:
-
Use a gentle detergent: Choose a fragrance-free, sensitive-skin formula to prevent irritation.
-
Machine wash or hand wash: A delicate cycle works well, but handwashing is best for longevity.
-
Wash in cold water: It preserves colors and prevents shrinkage.
🌬️ How to Dry Ostomy Pouch Covers
-
Air dry flat or hang to preserve the cover’s shape and elasticity.
-
Avoid heat: Do not iron or tumble dry, as heat can damage sensitive materials or seams.
