@thankful and @cece55 -- I jumped on the SoClean 2 bandwagon after the second week of cleaning the mask, hose and humidifier tank. It is just too easy to put the mask in it, press the button and walk away. I still wash the hose, tank and mask about once every 2 to 3 weeks with a solution that is made for CPAP equipment. I just use a couple of capfuls in the sink with lukewarm water, scrub a dub rinse and air dry. Generally takes me about 15 to 20 minutes every few weeks vs doing it daily. I do change the filters in the SoClean every 2 weeks but it's a one minute job plus however long it takes me to dig the filter out of my CPAP storage container. I will have to check out the Newport+ stuff - sounds good. Happy Zzzz's to you two too! (and all of our CPAP friends ☺)
