Could I disinfect/reuse my hose from dd's water birth 2+ yrs ago?

We have the RV hose from dd's birth, but it is pretty funky.(dd is almost 3, the hose has just been in our basement, but got put away kinda dirty) I know they are pretty cheap to buy new, but we are sooo tight on $ right now I would love to save the $10.

I am assuming bleach would clean it pretty well, as much as I dislike using it. Can anyone think of a reason why his would be a bad idea?

Thanks!

I would buy new if it's just $10 your talking about. I just can't see you being able to get it clean enough at this point.

If you want to save it for the future clean it and bleach it when the funk is fresh rather than dried and crusted in the hose.

If it is clear, you might try soaking it in super hot water a rinsing a few times then bleaching it. You can see if it is clean. but if it's opaque...toss it.
