When I first started treatment, I cleaned my mask every day and everything else once a week. Now, I wash our mask cushions every Monday morning. The first Monday of the month, I wash the entire mask including head gear, water reservoirs and strap pads. I check the filters on the first Monday of the month and change them if I think they need it. My wife also has sleep apnea and I do all of the equipment cleaning while she does the laundry on Monday morning.

I've mentioned it a few times. But, it was mainly just this year that I've experimented with it. I've used it as a hand soap for many years, but more recently tried it for cleaning my mask cushion. I find that it is very good at removing skin oils and when rinsed off, it leaves things squeaky clean.

oh, okay. won't be the first time i've missed something.

Mask daily as well as face as I need squeaky clean to get a good seal. Silicone parts in Dawn & water, spray with vinegar to get rid of soap residues, rinse well, air dry. Hose, ummm, when I cough into mask from a cold: same as mask. Change filter every month except during our horrendous pollen season when I check it every other week to see if it needs changing. Microfleece strap covers when I remember.

. . . I like my bugs and they like me...

Immunity is an amazing thing; but when we deprive it of challenges,
it may not work as well as expected.

That is why I like dogs so much. They berry their best bone or meat for a weak, then digg it out, eat it and are sick like a dog for a week. That sure gets your immunsystem going. I will not try that one again... it took me over 4 weeks to get better again. May be I should not have waited for a week or chosen a better spot to berry it.

By the way I like to clean my mask, when it leaks too much, with tooth paste. It then smells nice for falling asleep.

I like unscented baby wipes--really inexpensive--good for equipment, face,
and what-have-you.
I have yet to see an unscented baby . . .

well, if they were unscented, you certainly couldn't smell them!

Babies either smell like their latest bath, their most recent meal, or what is inside their diaper.
Babies always smell like SOMETHING.
