Thank you so much for that info. I have never washed my tubing nor ever read about doing that and didn’t know the tubing could be cleaned. I will start doing that because it has been a concern of mine. I am so careful to disinfect the nebulizer but have never cleaned the tubing. I appreciate your help.

I have always erred on the side of caution, figuring if one must neb, there is already a problem with the lungs. Another option is to replace the tubing frequently, for a while I had a ready source of disposable nebulizer mouthpieces with their own tubing, and replaced every couple weeks - since they were meant for only a few uses they weren't very durable and they broke easily. Once that supply ended I order several at a time on line, they're pretty inexpensive. Sue

@cynthiajewell7 Hi, I think the tubing itself is supposed to be thrown away. Then, clean the cup and mouthpiece after each use.
