Control III Disinfectant Cpapa Cleaning Solution OK?

I haven't gotten my machine and mask yet, but I have been looking on the board investigating cleaning methods.

I have read a lot about dishwashing liquid and baby shampoo, but I have sensitive skin, and I would like to disinfect the mask. CPAP.com has a home care kit, Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Is this stuff good? I kind of thought that it might be overkill. It kills germs related to AIDS, gram + and - bacteria, fungi, Pseudomonas, Influenza, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, E. Coli and Herpes.

It seems that Control III might be good if for some reason I have to share a mask, which I don't foresee happening. And I don't have any of the diseases listed.

Would I just do better using the dishwashing liquid or shampoo, or is the more thourough cleaning okay?

I agree with your assessment of Control III being more for mask sharing purposes. It might be helpful (though I honestly wouldn't bother myself) if you had a cold and wanted to make sure you had killed the cold germs. I have sensitive skin as well, and I use Johnson's baby shampoo (lavendar). Generally speaking, products made for babies are good for sensitive skin.

I use dishwashing liquid...

Oh, yeah, Darthlucy. I'm goofy. You're right, baby shampoo would be good for sensitive skin. But, you know what, I'm concerned also about my own germs on the mask causing breakouts. But I think I'll just stick with the baby shampoo.
