Thanks for addressing travel and cleaning My daily regimen is to soak neb cups in warm soapy water, rinse and let dry I do not boil the water. Is this ok? I find tubing hard to dry, tips on cleaning for this?
Also I would like to purchase a portable nebulizer and would appreciate recommendations
Thank you
Helene

I didn’t know what to do about the tubing at first but found out you don’t wash your tubing. After nebulizing, remove the nebulizer cup and let the nebulizer run for a couple of minutes to dry it out if there’s any moisture in it.
I’ve heard to replace tubing anywhere from every month to every six months. NJH says to replace every month.
Many boil our neb cups after soaking in soapy water to sterilize them. Apparently soapy water isn’t enough to kill NTM. It takes 10 minutes of boiling to kill NTM according to Dr. Falkinham.
