Sue,
Do you nebulize once or twice per day? Initially, I boiled and let all my neb parts air dry when I was nebulizing once per day. Now that I have to neb twice per day, I want to ensure all the parts are completely dry. I use a baby sterilizer and put on dry an extra time to ensure all my equipment is dry before my second treatment. I do agree that too many pieces of equipment are more items sitting on my counter, but I have this fear of all the parts not being dry. When you travel, how do you handle just boiling? And, do you sterilize every day, or do you do enough cups for 2 or 3 days? When I nebulized once per day, I sterilized every day because it was easier to keep up with the age of the cups. Now that I nebulize twice per day, I find sterilizing every day is just too much.
Do you use distilled water or tap water when you boil?
Thank you.

@ccdb I no longer need to neb daily, now it is 2-3 times weekly. But even when I was nebbing 2-3 times a day, I did not boil after each use - had multiple neb cups and did it each morning. (Washed & rinsed promptly after each use, but boiled once a day.)
If you take the parts out of still hot water and place on a clean towel, they air dry very quickly, no machines needed, but I only worry about the parts being completely dry if they are being stored. I'm not sure why they would need to be dry before reuse?
I always boil in distilled water, but reuse it 3-4 times (just leave the saucepan, covered, on the back of the stove and top off as needed.)
