Well, maybe none of you NEED to wash your ferrets dryer hose.  Maybe none
of you leave it laying on the floor next to 2 'emergency deposits' during
play time!  But just in case somebody else has a lapse in cognative
functioning, here's how it's done.
 
First of all, DON'T leave it soaking in a dishpan overnight.  The wire is
NOT rust proof.  Wash it quickly using a brush to reach into the folds of
vinyl.  Rinse and then feed a towel through the tube.  You can then shake
wiggle and flop it while holding onto the towel ends.  The towel will dry
the inside of the tube and shaking it will remove water clinging to the
outside.
 
Return clean tube to the ferrets who have been standing around looking like
there's absolutly nothing to do since the tube was taken away - in disgust
I might add.
 
Georgia - the left coast one...
