where do you store your nebz?

back when I used nebs (only PARI LC PLUS by the way). After they were washed and sterilized I would blow out the inside by connecting the air compressor turned on. Then I placed them in a wire mesh strainer to dry out completely. After they were dry I transfered them to a drawer I had dedicated to nebs.

One other method I used after they were dry was to put them into a lingerie laundry bag that I had hang on a hook on the side of my cabinet. This worked well but did not protect them from dust.

The important thing is not to store them in a closed container or bag IMHO since a small particle of water could exist despite you thinking they are dry. You always want to use completely dry nebs. No condensation in the container EVER.

Now I use an eflow and wash and let dry before b/w each use on a baby sterilizer tray.

I keep them in a dry pot on top of the stove...

ONLY because I boil them so often I usually don't take the time to "put them away" every single day. So basically they stay in the clean pot where they were boiled until I use them.

And for those of you who are wondering, yes they are completely dry...

I get a little nervous about storing them in plastic bags because I had a set I kept at my inlaws, which I boiled and THOUGHT I made sure they were completely dry, only to find that stored in a dark cupboard until our next visit to their home, that the inside of the bag seemed to have some mildew in it. Bleah!
