JThank you everyone!

Some of you have mentioned a brush to clean out the hose. Is there a particular brand / model that works better than others? 

And, can anyone post up a picture of one so that I have an idea what it looks like. The hose for my machine is about 6' long. I have to assume it's a brush on the end of a string or cord perhaps? 

That's the only thing that I have some apprehension about, is not yet being able to scrub out the inside of the hose.

I did find this:

To tell the truth I don't wash my hose anymore. I found by not washing it I had no problems with anything growing in there. I think by washing the hose there's more of a chance to have something grow in there because your adding a lot of water into it that can be hard to dry out.

I haven't had any issues washing the hose out and then letting it hang to dry. I give it all day to do that.

I also found this brush set-up. It looks pretty good. Only $10.00 or so, shipped free. These brushes are for a 22mm dia. hose. I'm assuming that's what my Climateline hose is.

That's the puppy.

I'm with WW though.  I rarely brush my hose out.

You guys are making me feel a bit better about not brushing the hose out. I do clean it once a week and soak it in very warm water with Dawn dish soap, along with the other equip. that needs cleaning. The mask and water reservoir gets cleaned each & every morning. 

But, for only $10.00 it seems like a no-brainer, to at least have a hose brush on hand. 

I tend to be a bit of a clean freak. I hope it's not showing..........

I went ahead and ordered one of these. I may not use it every time I soak the hose, but if I want to clean the inside, I'll at least have something on hand that can do it. $10.83 shipped. Guaranteed delivery by 12-20.

Climateline and Slimline are 15 mm I.D. with standard 22 mm connectors,  I think the larger brush will be fine, but thought I'd offer the specification for others.

How often do y'all clean your mask?

How often do y'all clean your mask?

For me......each & every morning. I use anti-bacterial wipes. They do a great job and do not leave any kind of scent behind. 

My mask is now 96 days old, and is still sealing just fine. The silicone pillow hasn't turned yellow either.
