I agree! I found a site that sells long tube brushes for this purpose exactly. cpaptubebrush.com $12.95. Hope that helps someone.
I do not moisturize or heat air coming from my CPAP, and there is no chance that more bacteria are entering my lungs than if I was breathing the unpressurized air in the room. If the pressurized air coming through the hose was moisturized and heated, I definitely would sanitize the hose occasionally to eliminate the growth of airborne bacteria or mold spores. I thoroughly agree, however, that the mask itself should be sanitized on a regular basis, as it may become contaminated with bacteria from my exhaled breath, and may develop mold if not thoroughly cleaned.

How do you connect cpap mask?
The CPAP mask is connected to the machine using special tubing also known as a hose. One end of the hose connects to an elbow or an adapter on the bottom of the mask. The other end of the hose connects to the CPAP machine output joint. It should fit snuggly, but not be difficult to attach. If it is, then you may not have the right size hosing or adapter for the mask/machine you are using and should contact your Respiratory Therapist, Physician, or CPAP supplier for help in trouble shooting this problem.
What is a CPAP Hose Management System?
A CPAP Hose Management System is something very simple but very unique and effective for those who use CPAP. First of all CPAP is an acronym for Continious Positive Airway Pressure. It is probably the most commonly prescribed treatment for those who have obstructive sleep apnea. It works by blowing air from a device (CPAP) into flexible tubing attached to a mask or some sort of interface which blows this pressurized air into your nostrils, mouth or both. This action helps prevent the patients airway from closing while sleeping. One of the biggest problems with CPAP use, is the hose itself. CPAP user's who sleep with CPAP are very familiar with dealing with a CPAP hose. The hose is attached to a CPAP device typically on a nightstand adjacent to your bed, it typically extends over your chest feeding the mask that is attached to your face on the other end. If you want to change positions in bed, or roll over to one side or the other, you must also readjust your CPAP hose in the process. The CPAP Hose Management System or HoseBeGone's Patent Pending system allows any CPAP user to manage their hose above and behind their head while sleeping. It is lightweight, can disassemble for easy travel and fit in most any modern CPAP carry bags.

How To Keep Your Water Hose In Good Working Order?
If you want to keep your water hose working for more than one or two years before you need to replace it, you need to make sure that you protect your hose from damage during the winter by storing it in a protected place. Ideally, you need to keep your hose from ever freezing. If a hose freezes, it shrinks and expands, which can cause damage to the plastic tubing. You might end up with a leaking hose. Store your hose in a warm, dry environment in the winter and your hose will last you for many years.
