The invention relates to a method for cleaning a membrane ( 3 ) of a membrane aerosol generator ( 4 ) of an inhalation therapy device ( 100 ), which membrane can vibrate, wherein a cleaning liquid is fed to the membrane ( 3 ) and the membrane ( 3 ) is caused to vibrate in such a way that the cleaning liquid is conveyed through the openings of the membrane ( 3 ), wherein the cleaning liquid contains at least one surfactant. The invention further relates to a combination of a cleaning device ( 1 ) and of a cleaning liquid, wherein the cleaning device ( 1 ) is designed for cleaning a membrane ( 3 ) of a membrane aerosol generator ( 4 ) of an inhalation therapy device ( 100 ), which membrane can vibrate. The cleaning device ( 1 ) comprises a liquid-feeding apparatus ( 2 ), which is designed to feed the cleaning liquid to the membrane ( 3 ), and a vibration activation apparatus ( 9 ), which is designed to activate membrane vibrations such that the cleaning liquid is conveyed through the openings of the membrane ( 3 ). The cleaning liquid contains at least one surfactant. |
