and how often do you clean them?
I wash mine in the dishwasher after i use them once

is there a different way to do it? (that is inexpensive)

EDIT: i'm a college student- so i have access to a dishwasher (its old), but only for this year. next year i do not. i have a very small microwave too, which i will have next year.

its starting to sound like i should invest in a baby bottle sterilizer...

I keep a pot on the stove that I use for boiling nebs. I have enough so I can boil DS' over the noon hour every day, once a day for 10 minutes.

I have 3 nebs.....I put them in a pot before evening treatments and turn on the pot for 20 minutes....so they boil about 10. With the rotation, it works out that I sterilize them before each use.

I use a steam baby bottle sterilizer after washing with warm soapy water. It wasn't cheap to buy it ($80) but I figure after the one-time purchase it was worth it in the long run for ease of use and knowing her stuff is effectively being cleaned every time. It goes up to 212* and stays at that temp for 6 minutes. (You can repeat the cycle if you don't feel that is long enough; putting 200ml of water in it is enough for as many cycles as you you need for a 24hr period.) Since it's a good size container, I can do her neb stuff all at once at the end of the day and every time I take something out I start up the cycle again to re-sterilize everything in the basket (that is how it's intended to be used.)

There are much cheaper ones for steam sterilizing in the microwave but for unrelated reasons I don't care for repeatedly microwaving plastics. I think boiling is the gold standard but I worry about forgetting about stuff on the stove (um, it's been known to happen here <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0"> )and ruining it.

Esp. since Emily cultures staph I think sterilizing vs. just using scalding hot water is important (although official CFF guidelines don't agree with me.)
