Traveling Question

Post by Snoozin' Bluezzz » Mon Jun 05, 2006 12:05 pm

How do folks keep their interface clean when traveling.

I use the water/vinegar spritz every morning and then rinse out the interface and it can take all day to dry out adequately.

How to get it dry when traveling?

You can get special wipes to clean the interface-cost???. Some people use baby wipes. It doesn't seem like short term use while traveling ought to be a major problem with most baby wipes, but you might want to avoid some ingredients like alcohol. Be careful to completely empty your humidifier before packing-

I just use a small bottle of vinegar and water and put a little on a small cloth and wipe down the mask seal. then use a dry piece of cloth to dry it off. I actually do this even at home, about 1/2 hr before I go to bed. I just don't have time in the morning to disassemble and clean everything. I then about once a week, normally on the weekend when I have time, do a more thorough cleaning on the mask and tubing.
