I have a padacheek cover for the forehead pc. that I wash weekly. I wash the headgear by hand every couple of months. My hair is clean when I go to bed so I don't see a need to wash it more often. I now use dawn dishwashing liquid to wash everything. Then I rinse really well. Then the mask parts get soaked in a 1:3 vinegar and water mix for 15 mins. Padacheeks can go right into the washer and dryer.

The padacheek forehead pad can be purchased at http://www.padacheek.com or you can pm padacheek, she is a forum member and all around wonderful person! I'm allergic to all of the headgear and padacheeks make it possible for me to use the headgear with no problems. Padacheeks come in fleece, cotton, and silk. I have them all! The silk (for my hybrid) makes it so you don't even feel the straps at all. I got fleece for the CL2, it seems to keep the headgear from slipping around.
