Thanks for all the recommendations for travel. I’ll let you know how it goes. I’ll bring my collapsible silicone bowl and hope I can get an electric kettle in the room. I know when I went to England I could not get rubbing alcohol so will try vinegar. Not going to stress over it and will do the best I can with cleaning!

@wandafanda Just remember not to dilute the vinegar! The tests showed that NTM were killed by 5% vinegar used full strength, after soaking for 30 minutes. (Use distilled white vinegar, not "salad vinegar" which is often diluted or has added ingredients.)
