Seconds then turn it upside down and rinse for another 30 seconds shake off as much water from the actuator as you can look through the actuator and mouthpiece to make sure there’s no medicine buildup if there is don’t worry just rewash it and shake off as much water as you can store the actuator in a dry place with good ventilation so it can air dry overnight
Don’t put the canister back into the actuator if it’s still wet it’s important to store your inhaler in a place where it’s visible so you never forget to use it in the morning when the actuator is totally dry gently put the canister back in the actuator this may be tricky but make sure you’re not pressing too hard you want to make sure that it’s in but you
