Sue you mentioned a standard of sterilization for those at risk for MAC I have gotten different information from different sources How do you clean/sterilize the cups you use, on a daily basis
Thanks

Yes, I also had a question, Sue, where you mentioned boiling certain equipment for 10 minutes in sterilized water. Wouldn't the 10 minutes in and of itself sterilize the water? I am very new here!
Also, if I boil a big pot of tap water for 10 minutes (for drinking until I can figure out my home water situation re: NTM/MAC risks), and use it for both drinking and rinsing/cleaning equipment, should it be a new pot of water each day? Thanks!

I clean daily in hot soapy water, rinse & place on a clean paper towel. Weekly, I place a silicon mat (potholder) in the bottom of a saucepan, fill with clean filtered water & boil (gently) for 10 minutes with my Aerobika & and nebulizer (the cups if using compressor, the whole head if using the InnoSpire Go) then let it cool and store it. Others use baby bottle sterilizers or microwave steamer bags. I go for simplicity - I live in a tiny house, and can't handle having any extra stuff to manage & store.
