cleaning of Swift LT pillows

Post by steve7e » Mon Aug 25, 2008 10:19 am

I just got my Swift LT. I would like to know how and how often you clean the pillows? Would just wiping them daily be sufficient? I'm concerned because the pillows retain water after a thorough cleaning with soap and water. Thanks.

I clean them every morning, just as I do the Activa cushion and Swift II pillows; using hot soapy water-Dawn dish liquid and I use distilled water to rinse them. Because of the dual wall pillows (also Activa cushion), distilled water is best. No lime or minerals to dry on the mask material.
