How often do you boil your neb parts?

my daughter Jess has a neb cup for each med.
at the end of each use I wash in hot (tap) soapy water and rinse.
then I put then all in my big 8 cup Pampered Chef measuring bowl and boil in the microwave for 6 minutes.
if you take them out (carefully) while they are still very hot they dry very quickly.

once a week I soak in bleach and boiled water.
used to use vinegar but got my hand slapped at the CF center.

Here are the CFF "approved" methods for cleaning nebs. <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.cff.org/UploadedFiles/LivingWithCF/StayingHealthy/Germs/StoppingTheSpread/StoppingSpreadGerms%2Epdf

If I were you I would choose one of these. I would not choose dishwasher unless you are going to be like Sakasuka and get a dishwasher for neb cleaning/disinfecting only. Even then you need to test periodically that the water is getting up to 158 degrees F for 30 min. Too me the risk of inhaled food particles otherwise is too great.

My ex-clinic made us choose either the H2O2, bleach or alcohol method. I chose the H2O2 and have been doing it since 2002. I deduct the cost of the H2O2 from my taxes.

Steaming of any sort is not approved. Before the H2O2 method I was steaming in a baby bottle microwave sterilizer. Nor is vinager like others have mentioned.

Also, I fully believe that all nebs should be completely dry before adding medicine to cup. This is why I have 16 nebs.
