My pulmonologist was quite specific that I use Dawn for daily cleaning, but I'm not sure why. Maybe because it rinses off thoroughly? At any rate, I soak in Dawn mixed with water from my Life Straw pitcher for 15 minutes, then rinse with more Life Straw water. Does the neb cup manufacturer make any recommendation?

What I've gathered from reading Dr. Falkinham's papers, lectures, etc, soaking the equipment in Dawn helps to "poke holes" in the biofilms that grow there. Once holes are in biofilms sanitizing/sterilizing helps remove any remainders.
