Water only.

Best way to keep it (particularly the hose) from going moldy after use is to store it in the fridge.

I always plan to use plain water in case I get the urge to clean my googles, but alway end up putting gaterade in it.

Nah that's the worst idea ever.

Just use water, sometimes weak cordial.

Up here in sunny NQ we all use water & lots of it.
Espescially me, cause I've got a bit more dust to wash down.

Washing:
Sterident tablets from the supermarket (the stuff for soaking dentures) works brilliantly too. Fill it with water & drop in a tab, leave over night to soak. Gets into every tiny crease & seam.

Haven't heard from you in awhile.
Mrs bigjon is pregnant as well, will have 2 under age 2, I think I worked out how its happening.

Are these Steridant tablets expensive?

Cant remember how much they are. A box lasts ages.
Cheap enough for the pensioners to dunk their teeth in every night.

Well congrats to you both!
And when you are feeling sleep deprived with your "2 under 2", just be thankful you're not as stupid as my youngest sister with 6 under 12!
