If I were you I would choose one of these. I would not choose dishwasher unless you are going to be like Sakasuka and get a dishwasher for neb cleaning/disinfecting only. Even then you need to test periodically that the water is getting up to 158 degrees F for 30 min. Too me the risk of inhaled food particles otherwise is too great.
My ex-clinic made us choose either the H2O2, bleach or alcohol method. I chose the H2O2 and have been doing it since 2002. I deduct the cost of the H2O2 from my taxes.
Steaming of any sort is not approved. Before the H2O2 method I was steaming in a baby bottle microwave sterilizer. Nor is vinager like others have mentioned.
Also, I fully believe that all nebs should be completely dry before adding medicine to cup. This is why I have 16 nebs.
