Cheap oldfarts HOSE CLEANING BRUSH

Post by Bert_Mathews » Mon Sep 17, 2007 6:43 am

Here is a commercial $13 Cpap Hose Brush plus shipping .....
------------ Read #3 -- that WAS NOT what I want???

Image

These are my versions that will not easily damage your hose and can be of any length you want at
cost under $5.00.

The swivels allow the brush to spin and clean in all the grooves...!Image

I have a more complete DIRECTIONS and pictures on my website.

Doesn't work for me either. I use IE but don't know what version. It just says that IE can't display the page.

What's in your hose? All that's in mine, is filtered clean air. Jim

I don't use a DVD Rewinder either, I must live dangeriously.

Seriously though that seems a bit overkill for a hose cleaner to me. I just swish some mild soapy water in mine, rinse and hang to dry.

I am using IE 7.0 and have no problem with the link. It opens like it should. My question is why would you want to clean the inside of the hose. You are running filtered air through there with the humidity from distilled water so where does the dirt come from. The hose should be replaced at least six month due to the rubber ends cracking. YMMV. jim

glad the link is working...........

I agree its just filtered air --BUT-- it picks up some hotel smells and somepeople have bugs that get into their hoses??? So why not at lease have a method of cleaning or DRYING the inside of your hose!!!!??????

Your call -IT'S- cheep ...................

To clean a hose I put it in with the clothes in the washing machine for a few minutes. Rinse and spin dry. So far the hoses havent been broken or torn.

Mine fits the bathroom faucet perfect. I hook one end on it, then run hot water thru it, give it a shake, and hang over a door knob until bedtime.

I put mine in a sink full of warm soapy water. I then hold both ends of hose and swish it back and forth and then let it run out. I use my sprayer on kitchen sink to run clean water through it until no more suds come out. I dry outside of house off and then hang from a plastic hook to dry.
