Formaldehyde-melamine-sodium bisulfite copolymer is what they are made of. No thanks.
I know what you mean.

A product that sounds that chemically must be extremely dangerous, no matter how small trace amounts are or what actual testing demonstrates.

Simple baking soda makes for an excellent cleaning agent and is sufficiently abrasive to remove most crap. Must be safe, I brush my teeth with it occasionally.

Since you're concerned about what things are made of, I imagine you carefully avoid anything that's composed of chlorine and sodium, one a deadly gas and the other explosive in water.

Do you find yourself funny?

Need a second opinion?

Hmmm, what could he possibly mean by chorine and sodium? Sodium chloride? That MUST be a poisonous substance, right? :roll:

Get back on topic please and stop the bantering back and forth that isn't on topic.
Thank you.
If you must persist with this off topic stuff....take it private.
There's no place for it here.

My ugliest baking pans make the best brownies.
A wee smudge on your cpap will pose no physical threat.
If you let it bother your head too much, no amount of medicine will help you.

Ok, I give up. The logic in your analogy escapes me.

Please tell me how seasoned brownie pans, and a soiled cpap water reservoir are alike.

Not soiled--but a freakin' STAIN! Washing did not remove it.
That is the definition of a stain.
IT'S ONLY COSMETIC!
And when you use the cpap, it's DARK.
Like the light goes out when I close the oven door.
Looks are not as important as we are led to believe.
Sometimes, they are not important at all.
