@sueinmn so many different ways to clean and sanitize equipment depending on which group you follow for sure. I follow several. If you recall, I was diagnosed recently with bronchiectasis June 2025. NO MAC or aspergillosis or other respiratory germs according to my sputum sample. I do use instant pot for boiling equipment after every use. I will incorporate washing and rinsing BEFORE boiling again. I just rinsed then boiled previously. Curious when you rinse are you rinsing under hot tap water (no filter attached)? I can be a little more on the extreme end of cleanliness and working to the best of my ability to stay infection free. Wondering for those that use boil distilled water do you save the boiled water and reboil if kept tightly covered after cooling and keep in the fridge? I don't mind spending the time to sanitize after each use, however, I'm beginning to wonder about processes. Thanks for your input and time.
