If you missed our last blog, we talked about how to best clean and sanitize your CPAP tubing, which is recommended to be done at least once a week. You may be wondering about all of the other equipment that comes with your CPAP, though.
Masks, headgear, nasal pillows, and the water chamber should be cleaned daily, according to ResMed. Cleaning these items daily helps prevent dirt, dust, and oil buildup, and can help prevent serious illness or exacerbation of symptoms. Always follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
In order to clean the items most efficiently and thoroughly, separate all parts of the mask before placing all items into a sink or clean plastic tub full of warm, soapy water. Make sure to use mild, non-scented soap to avoid any harmful chemicals leaving residue on the equipment. Once you’ve ensured everything is clean, rinse with warm, drinking-quality water until you are certain all soap is washed off.
