How long is boiled water sterile?

Dish washer. And I use it exclusively for my nebs - no other dishes.

PA is killed if it is exposed to water over 158 degrees for longer than 30 minutes.

My dishwasher reaches 180 for over 45 minutes.

But you're right, Chantel, before I got my dishwasher I would often skip nebs because it just took too long to clean (I was told by my doc to clean each part with a tooth brush, then boil for 10 minutes). Cleaning 6 nebs at a time (3 for the am, 3 for the pm) would take FOREVER.

So I got a dishwasher. Tiny little one from Walmart that sits on my kitchen shelf. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Hope this helps

Amy~ Since you disinfect your nebs twice a day, can you share with me how you find the time? Everytime I go to disinfect all my nebs (I have 4-not including EFLow) it takes me 30 mintues. (My nebs and vest alone take me an hour). Pray tell....how do you do it and work a 40+ job? Do you do it how I do it? Soak in alcohol 5 min, then boil water for 15 min, let it cool, then rinse nebs and let dry on a paper towel. If there is some secret you know...let me know.</end quote></div>

If you boil per CFF you don't have to rinse.

Amy,

Do you put soap in the dishwasher or just wash without? Also, how do I know if my dishwasher heats over 158? Is that just standard. Finally, do you rinse them w/ soap and warm water before putting them in the dishwasher?

Thanks,

JF

You would need to cleen it first, then boil to sterilize and rinse. It's under the "time saving tip" of the stop spreading germs pdf.

I put soap in to clean the nebs.

Manufacturer's instructions will state if the dishwasher heats over 158.

But I ran my dishwasher and tested the water at various pointes in the cycle to test just to be sure.

No I don't rinse with soap & warm water before.
