I think you are correct to be worried about cleaning the hose. It is less likely to become contaminated if you just leave it alone.Elsh wrote:I know you're supposed to clean the tubing weekly, but I've been nervous about that (I have been on CPAP just over a week). I read that it has to fully dry out before use again. I am nervous about disassembling things. I don't know if I'd get them back together right. Also, am I right that you can't remove and clean part of the tubing (the part directly connected to the mask)? Anyway, how do you clean the tubing, and how do you make sure it's completely dry by bedtime?
Quite some time ago (maybe two years?), I followed the lead of others here and quit cleaning my hose. If I look into the hose it still looks very clean.
