cleaning hose, humidifier and mask

Read on one of these forums about using tupperware with a mild vinegar solution in it to store your stuff every day. Could someone tell me again as I cannot find who posted that information

You will find lots of advice on this and other forums.
Some good, some bad.

I have never heard of this and have absoultely no idea why this would be a good idea.

The link that Peter provided was to one of my entries.

When I first got my equipment, my DME gave me an instruction sheet for washing and sterilizing it. It said to wash everything with dish washing detergent every day and to soak it in a vinegar solution once each week. I bought a plastic container to do all that, and I also used it to keep all the stuff in one place.

I don't clean the equipment as often and rarely sterilize it any more but I still store everything in that container.
