I boil mine daily as well. Here's a protocol for cleaning that adopts the "take no chances" theory.
I soak in hot soapy tap water. I turned our hot water heater up to 140 degrees so be careful. I use dawn dish soap. I soak for 5-15 min. While that is soaking I start boiling distilled water in the instapot. Fill to 2/3 mark sauté button for 30 min normal (gets to rapid boil) add equipment in a silicone basket then sauté again and it goes for 10 min. I bought a Bololo baby bottle steam/dry sanitizer but as recommend in other protocol use dry only mode and store it there until next use.
If you do this way, we are always doing the very best way to keep equipment clean and free of introducing bacteria back into our equipment. Seems like a lot but not that bad once you get the hang of it. Just started doing this way a few days ago. Personally, I'm a take very little chances type of person. I am newly diagnosed about 2 weeks ago.

Hello kate2025. I have a question about your instapot. When you boil water on sauté with closed lid how do you open it right after boiling to put the basket and sauté again. Even if you released the vapor to open the lid, the pot is hot and the process will not start again with the basket in hot water. I am just curious. Unless you boil water first and let it cool down for a while. Thank you
