Hypochlorous acid disinfectant spray for cleaning masks

RE: Hypochlorous acid disinfectant spray for cleaning masks
I spray the mask with isopropyl alcohol and wipe it down with tissues. It does not seem to harm silicon as some claim.  I change the cushion 1x a month and the mask every 6 months so maybe that's why the silicone is not showing damage that some claim will occur if isopropyl is used to clean it.
I only give suggestions from experience as a fellow CPAP user, not professional advice.

Just skimmed a couple studies posted on another forum. I think I've been overthinking CPAP cleaning, and apparently many people do.

Simple warm water and soap is plenty. I doubt the vinegar soak I've been doing is necessary. And the hypochlorous acid sprays do, in fact, break down into saline remarkably quickly.

Some white vinegar works great if you have any mineral build-up. Just add enough to cover the build-up and let it soak for 30 min. or so. 

Dump it out, rinse with water, and then wipe dry with a paper towel.  Cool
