Dawn dish washing soap. Works great! I like to try and find the stuff that is unscented.

There is not much to clean on the CPAP itself...only the humidifier
The mask does require some cleaning.

I actually run my stuff through the dishwasher once a week. Im new at this so I probably wont do it as often soon enough. You can use sensitive skin baby wipes to give the mask a wipe down before bed.
I never would have made it without this forum.

Dawn and/or Method dishwashing liquid soap in the sea minerals scent. I spray everything with white vinegar to get rid of any soap residue, then rinse, rinse, rinse.

I dishwash as well, and have done it for 7 years with no obvious problems. However, some masks have parts that I wouldn't dishwash. For instance, foam rubber parts. I don't dishwash or machine wash the headgear.

Depending on the machine, your humidifier chamber may be dishwashable. On most US ResMed machines, you can buy the optional dishwashable water chamber.
