Cleaning

Post by KTinTexas » Fri Feb 17, 2017 10:29 pm

I'd like to hear how people are cleaning their machines. I've been cleaning the water reservoir by hand every day but that's all even though the directions said I should clean the tubes daily. That seems like a lot of work. How do you clean your tubes and how often? Do you put anything in the dishwasher. I'm using a nasal pillow mask and I haven't washed it yet (I've only had it a few weeks). Do you use wipes on your mask?

Everybody's different and most of us do what we feel comfortable with.

We have a recent thread
viewtopic/t115518/Im-Afraid-Youll-Think ... sting.html
you will see that some of us don't do much cleaning.

It's been discussed often in the past...
viewtopic.php?p=567264#p567264

or use the forum search function "cleaning" and start reading.

Bottom line...do what you are comfortable doing or not doing.
