How to pack cleaned Nebulizer equipment and Aerobeka while on a trip

@muon Welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm glad you are committed to keeping up your routine while you travel.
This is what I do - I have a "travel kit" that includes a small sealable container (about 1/2 quart), a tiny bottle of detergent, and a ziploc baggie of folded paper towels, all sealed in a gallon ziploc with my handheld neb & my saline & levalbuterol. After nebbing, I use the container to soak & wash my Aerobika & nebulizer mouthpiece, shake them as dry as possible and place on a dry paper towel. Then rinse & dry the container, line it with a dry paper towel and seal my Aerobika & mouthpiece in it. When I arrive at my next destination, the first thing I do is take them out, rinse & place on a clean paper towel to dry. This method has served me well for about 5 years, and we travel often.
Do you think this could work for you?

Just a note that I remembered, I will be traveling in a van with a small group and at times it may be 10 hours before we reach our hotel, so maybe I will take another set of nebulizing equipment and re-clean the first set when I arrive at the destination. Thank you again.
Thank you, Sue, for this very helpful information! We are going to be traveling extensively during the next couple of months and I was stressing about sterilizing my aerobica and nebulizer cups. I appreciate your suggestions!
Respectfully,

If I am going on a trip for two weeks, how would one sterilize without access to a microwave or boiling pot?

Tanks you very much Sue, yes, I will definitely try this!
