QuestionCan you boil water and then turn off the stove and put the nebulizer and all its pieces in the boiled water for 10 minutes to sterilize instead of using the vinegar cleaning solution once a week?Community AnswerYes, you can. You might want to keep the heat on low for ten minutes instead of turning it off.

QuestionIs it okay to put soap or detergent powder to clean a nebulizer?Community AnswerIt depends on the type. It would be best to check your nebuliser instruction booklet for more details.
