What do you use daily to clean your mask interface?

Post by bryansong » Tue Mar 22, 2016 10:23 am

I'm now using the DreamWear mask and I'm looking for an unscented cleaner I can
use on a daily basis. I want something for the bedroom nightstand by my machine. I'd prefer a disposable wipe.
Any suggestions?

Bryan

I use a non-alcoholic, non-scented baby wipe from CVS for about $3.00.

I like that one.

Baby wipes work real good. Get the unscented, no alcohol, no lotion ones.

I can't handle scents so it's good to know there are unscented wipes.

Thank you both, I'll get some.

Bryan

I use Pampers Sensitive. Have no scent at all (I just sniffed them for ya)

Ditto! Just wipe off the oil from the night before and slap it on!

I discovered back in 2010 that daily washing caused my Swift FX pillows to become
unusable in as little as two weeks. They got limp and cloudy.
When I went on vacation, I started using the unscented baby wipes,
discovered the longer usability of my pillows, and never went back.

That is some good data chunkyfrog. I will admit that I haven't ever been a daily washer, in fact I probably go too long between washes.
Every few days I'd pop off the dirty nasal interface and replace it with a clean one out of a bag of pillows, then when I got several I'd give them a wash.
But I've changed to the DreamWear set and I think it should be washed or I should say wiped on a daily basis.

Thanks,
Bryan
