Pad-a-Cheek Cleaning

Post by Starlette » Sun Aug 28, 2011 2:53 pm

Just read on the directions to wash with warm water. However can we wash the microfleece with the same light soap/shampoo that we use to clean our masks?

I don't see why not. Just be sure to rinse well. I throw mine into a mesh bag for panty hose and throw them in the washer and dryer with everything else. Been doing it for years and they come out perfect!

Thanks Brenda. I took my chances and washed with liquid soap along with my two masks, looks ok.
Next time I have to wash it, I'll do just that. Just didn't want to ruin something that I consider a VERY VERY important part of my life.
Thanks for responding.

I'm with Brenda...I have done it both ways ...in the washer in the mesh bag and by hand with baby shampoo......the washer and dryer are by far the easiest and I don't have to wring them out by hand
Started cpap in 2010.. still at it with great results.

Yeah, I just placed it in a different location to dry faster and it looks great.

Thanks.
