Hose cleaning

I have a question about cleaning the Swift II mask and hose. I have been using my machine every night for the last two weeks, and I have yet to do more than wipe the nasal mask off with a rag. Since I don't use a humidifier, is this ok, or should I use vinger or baby wipes or mild soap to clean?

I have been on faithful to my machine for at least two weeks now. There have been days that I wake up refreshed and ready to go, and a few where I need more sleep.

I use the Swift II nasal mask, and a couple of times, I have noticed my nose sore the next morning. But I think that was because of the way I sleep. No sores yet, just a little irritation on the very inside tip.

Newie update

Last night was the first night that I woke up and found my mask sitting in my lap. Don't know if I took it off or wh...

I have not started on CPAP yet either, nor have I had a formal test yet. Anyway, I seem to have a dream just about every night. My only problem is, I really can't remember much about the dreams. But I also noticed last night that I seem to stay in REM stage. I was dreaming up to the point my finace ...
