How to Clean a Reusable Kidney Stone Strainer

Simple, practical hygiene guidance: how to clean and dry a reusable kidney stone urine strainer safely.

Cleaning and hygiene basics

Hygiene is about two things: rinse promptly and allow complete drying. A reusable strainer should be easy to clean and store.

After each use

Rinse thoroughly with water.
If needed, use mild soap and warm water.
Allow to dry fully before storing.

Weekly deep clean (optional)

If you're using the strainer frequently, a weekly deeper clean can help. Use mild soap and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

Important: Always follow your clinician’s guidance on handling and storage if you capture a stone.
