It's Spring! Treat Your Body Right with a Clean CPAP System! 



Recommended CPAP Cleaning Schedule: 
(from our CPAP Chat call on 4/1/15)
  
Daily
  1. Wipe foam mask cushion with damp cloth.
  2. Clean nasal pillows with warm soapy water (Ivory liquid). Rinse with clean water. Air dry on a towel.
  3. Empty water chamber daily and refill with clean distilled water each night. If using the SoClean sanitizer daily, it's OK to leave the water in the chamber and add to it each night.
Weekly
  1. Wash mask with warm soapy water. Rinse and air dry on towel or hang.
  2. Chamber- Wash weekly with Ivory and rinse well with warm water.
  3. Wash hose with warm soapy water or 4-parts water/1-part white distilled vinegar. Rinse and hang to dry. (some folks do this in the shower)
  4. Gray foam filter is washed with warm soapy water, rinsed and dried.
  5. Never use harsh chemicals.
Monthly: Inspect Filters
The white machine filter is for ultra-fine particles such as pollen. Please inspect monthly and replace it when brownish in color. This filter is NOT reusable. Gray foam filters can be washed and reused.  

Please remember that none of your CPAP parts are dishwasher safe
(as tempting as it may be!) 

 
Replacing key parts is the best way to get the most from CPAP. Your insurance often pays for most of the costs for these critical replacement parts. How often should you replace them? Questions? Call us! 888.867.8840
