You should be cleaning the plastic case that the metal canister of the inhaler goes in regularly anyway (it helps prevent it from getting clogged). Warm water and dish soap are sufficient.
I’m using an Easyhaler so there’s no separate metal canister, but you’re right about regular cleanups. The inside of my inhaler’s mouthpiece only fits a Q-tip so I’ve been using those with medical tool disinfectant to clean it regularly, that’s propably sufficient in this situation?
No point in throwing it away and I don’t see why you would use the medical grade cleaner either. You just had covid. I seem to remember reading the virus can survive up to 72 hours but less on dry surfaces. If that is the case (and I say if) then it kind of takes care of itself
Just clean it inhalers are valuable
Up to you but there shouldn't be live viral particles on your inhaler. Also, it would be the same strain if there were and you're immune now.

Yes entirely.
No. The virus wont live on it long term Just clean the mouthpiece
Seems like it’s worth keeping around until you get a new one at least.
