1. Sterilize? I just wash mine with dish soap

I don’t use a humidifier tank any more, using in-hose humidifying discs instead. I wash my mask and hose in warm water with just a little dish soap (Trader Joe’s lavender leaves a pleasant, non soapy scent).

That’s it. It’s worked for 20+ years.

I think it’s far more important to make sure you only use distilled water (not purified, filtered or demineralized) in your humidifier tank.
