Anybody use that Soclean gizmo that's been on TV ads lately? Wanting to know if it;s worth the $320 price tag?

I just use good ol' Dawn dish soap and a spritz or two of antibacterial hand soap in warm water in the kitchen sink. Every other day.
Takes five minutes, tops.

Just washed the mask in hot water and HibiClens every morning and then set it out to air-dry, when I was helping Mr. LaQua (RIP). Same for his nebulizer mask. The latter I replaced with a new mask and assembly every 2 weeks, the former I replaced every six weeks, IIRC. I wouldn't spend money on a supposedly special cleaner.
His nasal cannula and the 50' of tubing running from his oxygen tank to the nasal cannula assembly (in the last year of his life, he was on positive pressure oxygen 24/7), that I replaced every week, if not more often. Drove him nuts, since to him, I was tossing perfectly good oxygen tubing for no good damn reason. Bacteria and other fauna potentially growing in the semi-moist environment of the nasal cannula and tubing didn't count as a good damn reason, not to him.
Don't know about the antibacterial hand soap thing. If you put it in water, you dilute the product, rendering it useless (and wasting perfectly good hand soap). I'd stick to hot water and Dawn, myself.

From what I've heard they really aren't worth the $325.
They do a very good job so if you are really sensitive then go for it.
Man Glockgirl changes out stuff way more often than I bother with. There are some decent wipes you can get that do the job as well. But washing with hot water is good enough and a little hand soap every so often doesn't hurt.
BTW Chuck and Fog, not sure what mask you use but I do have some extras laying around since I changed machines a while back. Shoot me a PM if interested. (Goes for anyone else as well!)
