How Should I Clean My Nebulizer and Acapella Device

Actually the boiling may damage my Acapella so using a baby sterilizer from Philips I just ordered to see how that goes. This website pointed me to the baby sterilizer idea and I believe that will do what I want. I don't have a long term infection like a lot of people do and I want to keep it that way. Thanks.

I'm not sure about using the baby bottle sterilizer with the Acapella. It is different plastic than the Aerobika, which can be cleaned with baby bottle sterilizer. It may be fine-companies recommend only what they have tested. I tried Acapella for about 6 weeks (worked great, but little part broke) and didn't have Bololo then, but their website says don't use dishwasher. I'd test an old one in your bottle sterilizer. When I used it, I put it in alcohol kept in Costco sized jam jar. (I'm retired nurse and peroxide was frowned upon for cleaning when I worked-find I'm still biased.) I did take a look at National Jewish and they say both are ok.
