I did not use distilled water. I just used straight tap water. I'll try again.

Although boiling did not clean the gunk off, it did seem to refresh the rubber.

Well, boiling didn't do much...but washing it with laundry detergent sure did. Looks like new. I noticed that the hand soap I have been using to wash it has aloe in it.

First post. Just got my CPAP machine about 10 days ago and I have a concern. I have spoken to several people who have apnea who all claim to have had a life-changing experience once they got on the CPAP. I was so excited to finally get the machine and try it out. What a let-down. I am still waking 5...
