instructions are in the back of most mask manuals, it's typically quite simple.
How is such a response helpful to a person that took the time to post the question? Everyone knows the literature that comes with a cpap contains information about its maintenance and use; however, most everyone also knows sometimes the information is lacking and sometimes a person just may want to bounce things off those with experience.

How many people have you chased away with those 9,000+ posts?

Great replies except for a few useless, unhelpful 1 liners, like post #2.

I've often wondered about what they do with the masks you get to try on before sleep studies. It would be wasteful and expensive to just toss something that only spends a minute or two on someone else's face. I have no problem with this as I know it's throughly cleaned and sanitized. Also, I bet some folks trade or give away used masks on this very forum. I'm guessing many are still alive.

I bet your bottom dollar used masks are cleaner than the toilets and doorknobs in public bathrooms. I'll still touch those unless it's visually dirty...lol. Then soap up afterwords.

I admit to being mildly germophobic.

You made a post yourself that does not address or help toward the OP's question. Welcome to the club.

Keep a low profile and stick to men's underwear.
See, this is why the Airfit P10 is so popular. It's like "commando" for CPAP.
