With all the crevices in the Aerobika, a disinfectant wipe will not do the job.

You can steam it in the microwave, use a baby bottle sterilizer, boil in a pot of water or soak it in alcohol.

Also, Dr Joe Falkinham, guru of mycobacteria contamination, tested adherence of mycobacteria to the device:

I take this to mean that IF it does colonize, it happens slowly. So, I wash mine daily in hot soapy water, and only sterilize weekly.
