How do i clean a peg feeding tube when it's stained with a pink/red colour ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why?: Don't see any need to do this. As long as the tube is clean it is good. If you are using dye for your tf could consider using a green or blue as this color is not as easily confused with blood.
