I have read many threads about cleaning the mask as well as Padacheek liner, but I'm still left with a question. I use the wipes daily to clean my mask and cushion and then deep clean everything - cushion, hose, water chamber, headgear - 1-2 times per week. A week ago I started using a Padacheek liner and while it works great, it is a bit of a nuisance to have to take off the liner everyday to clean the cushion.
My question is, if you're using a Padacheek liner, are you cleaning the cushion everyday too? Or do you wipe down the liner? Wipe down the cushion and the liner?
Thank you

Re: Cleaning mask with Padacheek?
With the liner, there is no need to clean the cushion every day. Once a week is plenty often enough. Even without a liner, I do not clean my cushion every day. If I think about it, I clean it once a week. My wife used a padacheek liner, and hers gets cleaned on the same schedule I clean mine since I do the cleaning. We wash out the water reservoirs once a month, and change the filter at that time. We clean the head gear and pads when we clean the water reservoirs.

Re: Cleaning mask with Padacheek?
I use padacheeck liners. Once a week I put the liner in a lingerie bag and throw It in the washing machine. then I wash the mask by hand before I put the liner back on. that's it.
I never wash the long hose.
