I actually use a microwave sanitizer to clean my son's neb. I haven't melted anything (knock on wood) with the atomic microwave yet. I wanna know more about this germg aurdian thing?!

This seems too relaxed for me. I wash, sterilize and dry nebs,masks, inhalers and aerochambers twice a day after treatments, once in am and once in pm.
It has become a habit and I am a creature of habit and organization. If I only sterilized once or twice a week I would probably forget to do it.

I do the same thing! I had a germ guardian, but it quit on me, in less than a year of use - I think DH put wet things in there and ruined it. It was nice though, because you KNEW things got dried!

My MIL actually bought me a Germ Guardian for Christmas, hoping it would make my life easier (love her!). I have a really good digital meat thermometer, I put it on there and ran a cycle. The temp slowly climbed to 150.4 F, then slowly back down. I did a little research on the internet and found this:
Temperature
170 degrees C (340 degrees F) - 1 hour
160 degrees C (320 degrees F) - 2 hours
150 degrees C (300 degrees F) - 2.5 hours
140 degrees C (285 degrees F) - 3 hours
It's nowhere near effective for sterilizing. And you can't put stuff in it wet, so I can't even use it to dry the nebs for me. I'll stick to boiling and dryiong on a bottle rack, and return the Germ Guardian. Maybe I'll use that money to buy a bunch of new nebs. That will make my life easier because I'll have to boil less often (not every night).
