What do you guy's do with your mask in the morning?
I was just letting it hang over the machine, opening down. I wonder if this is the best thing to do. Also I Just wipe the insides clean with CPAP wipes periodically. I have a full face mask,

Hang it over the headboard until I put it on the next night.

I take off the seal and wash with a few drops of dish soap.  I have very oily skin so that is necessary.

I separate the mask from the hose and hang them over the towel rail. Wash everything once a week.

I just lay mine on the table next to the CPAP, trying to keep it out of any UV light. UV light is NOT your friend.

I use one of the hose lift systems to elevate the hose. These have a small plastic hook on the rod that I hang my headgear on.

Hang mine over the hook on my hose system. Mask hangs opening down. Clean it ever so often.

RE: What do you guy's do with your mask in the morning?
Since my skin is oily and since ny full face mask also sometimes collects some drool eeew  it gets washed every morning with water and a little Johnson's Baby Shampoo. It then is laid on the table beside the machine.

I hang it on the draw knob of my bedside table.
Hose and mask get washed once a week or so.
