Cleaning Mask, Hose and Humidifier

torontoCPAPguy wrote:Mask: Daily clean with a disinfectant wipe inside and outside including all surfaces that come into contact with my face and therefore my facial oils, etc. Includes the parts of the straps that make contact with my face; just to remove the oils from them. I start with the inside of the mask, then the outside of the mask and then the straps. Wipes are cheap enough.

Hose: I have purchase a total of four hoses. Two are in my travel bag all the time and two are being used with my bedside APAP and are rotated because I have not yet been able to find a gentle detergent soap without an odour. So I wash one of the two hoses each week in the sink with either baby shampoo or Prell detergent shampoo... swishing the detergent mix around for a couple of minutes and then I run clear water from the tap through the hose until all traces of soap are gone. I towel dry the exterior and place the tube on my backup CPAP and let it run for ten minutes or twenty minutes and then hang it up to complete drying; switching to the other hose for a week.

Humidifier: Either I permit it to run dry or I empty it and use disinfectant wipe to clean and then rinse with clear water to make sure I don't blow any disinfectant down into my lungs; once a week.

I generally use a wipe to clean around the machine and bits and pieces once a week to prevent any buildup of hand oils, dirt, dust, etc.

So far so good, but I am still a newbie at this. I'd love to find an odourless detergent recommendation.
