I clean my mask daily in baby shampoo and warm water, drain and air dry my humidifier daily, wash my hose weekly with vinegar and water solution, also filters once weekly, find that a lot easier than fitting off some infection, some people don't clean theirs that often, your choice. I can tell you when my kids were small my son would give our dog a lick of his ice cream,my wife would yell don't do that, he would say the dog doesn't mind, my son rarely got sick, my daughter a germ freak would get every thing that came along at school, I just feel the extra time taking care is minimal.
