Best Way to Clean CPAP Hose?
What is the best way to clean the CPAP hose? I have the CPAP hose brush. How often should it be cleaned? Thanks, Bob.

Dawn soap or baby shampoo and warm water. When needed, which may be never.

I clean mine every couple of months, take it off the machine, fill it 3/4 full with warm water in the tub, no soap at all. Thumbs over each end, slosh vigorously , repeat a couple of times and hang up to dry. Never had anything growing in mine or any issues.
of course "your results may vary"

Make it your shower partner from time to time. Mild shampoo, thorough rinse, then hang to air dry.

A mix of water and white vinegar, 50/50 or less, works well. I suspect, with getting a new one every three months, cleaning is not a really big factor but it can't hurt.

All above answers deemed acceptable. Me? Warm water and dish soap, typically Dawn, move it around in water, rinse and air dry via hanging it over shower curtain rod. Repeat process every few months. Never used a brush for it. Your hose your choice.
