Cleaning your Liner

Cleaning your hands and your liner should be part of your daily routine.  Prosthetic cleansers formulated to be used on prosthetic liner materials like gel, urethane or silicone.  check your own sensitivity prior to use.  Your own body wash or Dawn dishwashing soap are other options. First turn inside out, rinse off any debris with warm water, then add a drop or two of soap/cleaner, rub gently, and rinse WELL.  You can also wash the outside.  Let air dry.  Usually takes a couple of hours to fully dry. Always check the manufacturer’s recommendations. You can also clean weekly, or when the liner smells, with a very small portion of rubbing alcohol or also Febreze.  Use sparingly as it can degrade your liner.
