If you do a search at VDH you will find Bryan's favorite hose cleaning method (it may be in the tech section). He put them in the washer with a load laundry. It seems to work well.
I have used a round bottle brush with dish detergent on some real dirty hoses and they came out just like new.
In a DH regulator the hoses are not exposed to the same bio culture that they have in a re-breather, but it is still a good idea to clean them occasionally.
I always make sure not to mix the inlet with the exhaust hose (the inlet hose should be clean and somewhat dry) and after each weekend of diving I take off the hoses for them to dry. I have a variation on Allan hose dryer for my hoses.
