Newbie: drying hose away from home

[chunkyfrog]

Historically, cleaning everything in sight was never popular until people had SOAP TO SELL.
When people made their own soap, they used it (and water) sparingly.

Last time I washed my hose was never. I figure trapped moisture has a much bigger chance of growing stuff than a dry hose.

I definitely wouldn't bother washing the hose (or for that matter the mask) on short trips. More likely to pick up nasties cleaning the stuff in hotel showers, etc. At least at home most of the bugs are yours or your family's, which means you'll tend to be immune to them.

And yes, I probably rinse out my hose 2X per year, just by running tap water through it, and then letting it dry hooked up to my cpap.
