Ok I guess I should tell you all about my 24 yr old son trying to help me get bottle brush out of hose. He is 6ft and extra skinny. and I called him in to help me. And he stood there in middle of room swinging this hose over and around trying to get the stupid bottle brush out. lol it went in further. So he gave up.

That is REALLY funny. Thanks for the giggle!

I clean my hose just by sticking one end against the tub faucet and blowing hot water through it for a minute or so. Works great. I use one of those silicon oven gloves to keep from scalding by hand.

I just put the hose in a clean sink filled with dishwashing detergent and then rinse it out. Unless you're using the hose to suck up chocolate milk, it shouldn't be THAT dirty.

Also to avoid lint, just put your hose on the CPAP and run it to dry it out.
