OK I get the hint. I will clean it every night before bed with vodka. Does it matter which flavor or brand, then I will wave a piece of rose quartz over it to get rid of any bad vibes and to chase Pugsy's gremlins away
Take the Żubrówka Bison Grass Vodka. But honestly I would drink it

The version sold in the U.S. is not authentic. Due to U.S. regulations against blood thinners, it contains a mixture of herbs and no bison grass.

Hot Dang
If it has blood thinners in it then I can dual use it. Clean the p10 pillows and get blood thinners at the same time! That way I can tell my cardiologist I no longer need my prescription blood thinner!!!

I too was afraid to use wipes with alcohol in it based on "recommendations" from God knows who.. forums, CPAP videos, I realize not everyone knows what they are talking about, but it's hard to know who to trust with the truth. What about wipes with bleach? Will bleach damage silicone?

Curad brand alcohol wipes are half the price at Costco--
and they are nice and thick, compared to the Reli-On at walmart.

OK I have tried the alcohol wipes for the last couple of nights. Yes they work without leaving a residue on the pillows and reduced leakage at night due to movement. I guess where ever I read not to use alcohol baby wipes is the same misinformation as cleaning the cpap and paraphernalia with ozone. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's not hard to find out *reliable* information, step 1) ignore the DME, step 2) research on the net:

Accounts to put on the foe list: dataq1, clownbell, gearchange, lynninnj, mper!?, DreamDiver, Geer1, almostadoctor, sleepgeek, ajack, stom, mogy, D.H., They often post misleading, timewasting stuff.

Of course, just give the alcohol a minute or two to evaporate before you jam the mask on your face.

Faith is for woo. Skeptical acceptance is for science.

Look for things like the preservative methylisothiazolinone and related products. It was in moist wipe and the residue left can cause irritation.

My mom uses baby wipes on her mask and hasn't had any issues. Maybe try a different brand.

The bullfrog tried an alcohol swab on his nose prior to a Breathe Right strip.
There is such a thing as too clean--it makes tape too sticky.
He now uses a baby wipe, so the tape will not remove skin in the morning.

I use this brand and type... if you really have an aloe vera allergy these prolly wont help, but if its something else, these may work well. I find the texture of the wipe is rather good like a little wash cloth. It just cleans well and is sent free. They're marketed as good for cleaning faces, hands, and the other places baby wipes are traditionally used.
Hope your able to find something that works well for you. As others have said dawn soap works well to. Just rinse well in the sink.
Restwell,
Gryphon
