Rhino hose deodorizing

jgram2

How do you keep the rhino flex hose odorless? My nose tells me we did a less than perfect job of rinsing it, so now that we're back from our first 2 overnights, I wonder if we can use a 10% bleach solution to soak it in. And we'll have to do it in segments because we're plumb out of 15 foot long troughs. Or maybe put it in a container with the Camco citrus packet in the water? And swish? Thank you for any suggestions. Judi

@Twojgrams, I use the caps that came with the Rhino to rinse it.

I stretch it out full length with a cap on one end, hold up the other end a bit and fill it with water. Then let it drain, after proper soaking, and rinse. Repeat. 

I usually use washing soda and a bit of detergent.

Bleach might make the hose brittle if left in too long. A quick rinse (10 min?) might be enough (3% bleach is enough for odor control). I don't bleach my hoses, but rinse them repeatedly and allow them to dry with the caps off in the stinky slinky bin (where the propane is). They naturally air out and I've had no odor problems.

Thank you Ratkity and ChanW! Easy peasy.
