I've been using the SoClean 2 for about two years. Before I purchased it, I reviewed the microbiology culturing results and it look promising with respect to reducing colony counts for bacteria, molds, and fungus. Empirically, I've had only one sinus infection since I started using this device. As another individual wrote, the device is not so much as cleaning as killing the "bugs". It works well for me and I am NOT a representative for the Massachusetts based company that developed this device.
Regarding employment of an ultra-sonic cleaner like those used to clean jewelry and glasses, I have one, and am going to do a little experimenting to see if it seems to get my FF mask cushions any cleaner than I get get them with plain old dish detergent and water.

Re: Ultra-sonic cleaners
I have been using cpap WITHOUT that silly device for nearly six years.
I have had ZERO sinus infections.
My way is cheaper, and works at least as well.
Wash what needs it, wipe what you can't dunk.
Don't be obsessive about it.

You say 'it works for me', but how do you know things would be any different without it?
Re: Ultra-sonic cleaners
From Cpap.com: How do I care for my mask?Masks should be washed daily with warm water and gentle soap or baby shampoo. Let the mask air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask cushion. Avoid soaps that include lotion which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. Remember, going to bed with a clean face will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.
