Has anyone ever used Johnson & Johnson bedtime bath wash to wash CPAP or bipap parts ?

I have been using Johnson's "baby head- to- toe wash" on the humidifier chamber and inside the humidifier but not on masks and hoses.

I wash and soak my mask in baby shampoo.
Most folks here use a wide variety of soaps to wash their stuff.

Dawn pure essentials and hot water.
Cleans like the dickens with no conditioner and almost no scent at all--just about perfect

I also use the J&J baby Head-to-Toe Wash - on humidifier and mask parts.

I use any mild soap--baby shampoo, Dawn for dishes, Ivory liquid, on the mask.

I use vinegar and soap in the water tub. I do not wash the long hose.

I have a daily morning routine. Each morning, upon arising,
I wash only my DreamWear nasal pillow, ....with mild hand-soap. Carefully rinse well with hot water.

Run plain hot (145 Deg) water thru the hose, DreamWear headgear & humidifier water tank. Air dry everything.
Keep it all scrupulously clean....! Dirty CPAP gear provides a direct route into your respiratory system. Colds, flu, pneumonia, etc.
Cleanliness transcends Godliness....

I suppose you thoroughly wash everything and let them air dry in the most germ infected room in the house.

Do you breathe unfiltered room or outside air during the rest of the day when you're not attached to your machine?
Why would you need to dry everything? HOW and WHERE do you dry it? If you hang it in the bathroom......
Just wash it before bedtime and the residual moisture will be added to the humidified air coming from the tank.
Total waste of time and effort. Or, you must be a VERY DIRTY PERSON if your own germs are that infectious to you.

I guess so, because Jesus stopped after feet were washed.
...he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Anyway, what are you doing during a single night that your stuff gets so germy?
