vinegar, baby-shampoo, etc?

Post by mckooi » Mon Aug 06, 2007 6:01 am

Hi,

1) Can anyone tell me what type of venigar to clean the mask and tube of the mask? Vinegar types: Amount 1:4 (venigar over water ratio).

2) What to watch out when cleaning the mask.

3) Baby shampoo to reduce the smell of vinegar after wasjing the mask?

4) How regular to clean the mask (1/week?).

5) Any eroma (flavour) that would help to ease the treatment?

6) Any other issues pertanining to cleaning?

Thank you.

Regards,
Mckooi

1: I use 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water approx.
2: just wash, don't rub hard or scrub cause damage can occur.
3: I just rinse really well, than air dry.
4: Pillow nightly, the rest once a week.
5: pur-sleep http://www.pur-sleep.com
6: Click the yellow light bulb at the top for more info.

I use either 3 to 1 or 2 to 1 water:vinegar mix depending on how fast the vinegar pours out. I just put it in a spray bottle and keep that by the sink. I then use baby shampoo after the vinegar. I usually get anywhere from 3 to 5 months out of a cushion. I do this daily when I get home from work and after washing the cushion I use my wife's hairdryer to dry it.
