We use Medizyme/Meddis, then leave to soak in water for a couple of hours after...

I spray them with SilkoSpray every so often, to give them some protection/lubrication to help use them easier

There was quite a long thread on this a while back if you search. We wash in medizyme, rinse and sterilise in meddis for 30 mins, following by rinsing+++++ and allowing to air dry on the rack.

We wash our ET tubes normally and then sterilise them in Medis for 30 minutes. I always make a point of rinsing ET tubes for twice as long as suggested to make sure there's nothing harmful left on them.
