Cleaning hose

Post by cpapabuser » Thu May 18, 2006 2:13 pm

I never clean my hose because I always get one every month, should I clean it on a regular basis or just keep using my new hoses when they come in each month?

Why would you get a new hose every month?

I have used mine for a long time and have never had a problem, much less thinking about replacing it.
SOMEBODY is paying for it.

When i do clean mine- about every 4-6 months I simply wash it with mild soap, then rinse with 1/4 vinegar and fold it in half and sling it like hell-

works for moi.

I agree with TomJax.
Besides, whirling that thing around makes a neat sound.

So, what government agency is doing this for you, and where can we join?
I say that because you said "it comes" - sounds like an automatic delivery.
