I use vinegar and water and have very few infections

And should it be different for those with SP caths and those who self cath? I was taught to rinse the bag out, then inject 1 part bleach / 5 parts water, shake, let rest for 15 min., drain, rinse out again, hang to dry. But I found an article that lists same process, but says to shake for 30 sec., and leaves off the "let rest for the 15 min." I would think letting rest with bleach in it for 15 min. would be a good idea... As long as it drips dry. The SP cath has a fulltime, direct, opening, to the bladder. Would the bleach fumes be bad? Could that be why. Greg
