Soap smell

Post by Cam324 » Tue Apr 24, 2018 9:43 pm

I use Fawn dish soap to clean my mask, reservoir, and hose. This is what was recommended. I can’t deal with the soap smell after I clean it. Any suggestions?

You might try Dawn, or Dawn Free, you can get more than one flavor of Dawn, and rinse very well with hot water. Jim

I use Pamper unscented baby wipes for sensitive skin to wipe my mask down every morning. After I wash my mask with soap, I wipe the mask down with the baby wipes. This removes the soap smell.... which will upset my tummy.
