I rinse the mask and tubing with vinegar and water once a week, and hang it to dry the rest of the time. the home care provider said that this was good enough.

vinegar is fine for the humidifer, and now that the chamber has been redesigned so that it doesn't come apart like mine does, it may be easier to swish with vinegar & water, but I still think the antibacterial hand soap & hot water is fine.
