How do you clean your Quattro masks?

Post by MoonBear » Tue Dec 28, 2010 4:19 pm

Hi,

How do you cleN your Quattro mask? I remove the part that sits on the face daily and wash in slightly warm soapy water, and let it air dry. I also bout the wipes from cpap.com and used them the on night I forgot, but somehow I hVe lost the direction to clean the rest of the mask. Can anyone tell me how to do this and how long it takes to air dry?

Thanks a lot and

Namaste, MoonBear

Moon Bear, the Resmed aus site has videos, though I do confess I rarely disassemble as much as they show, I often dunk the whole think in soapy water, takes a few hours to dry.
Any landing you walk away from is a good one; if you don't break your airplane it's excellent.

In the 15 months that I have been using my current Quattro, I have never taken it apart. I clean the cushion once a week with liquid hand soap and I wipe the cushion daily with a citrus wipe. I change the cushion about every 3 months.

Pretty new to this but my routine has been to wipe it out with citrus wipes daily and then once a week remove the seal part from the plastic assemply and wash both in warm, soapy water as well as the head gear.

I unhook the lower straps. Put a dab of dish soap in the cushion. Rub the soap all around and then put my palm over the hose connection so it fills with water and over flows to remove all the soap. Rinse the out side. Shake it a bit to remove droplets and let it dry. as long as you use a mild detergent you should be ok.

Ditto what pdean said. I also wash my head gear once a week along with my strap covers and mask liner all in baby shampoo. Do this first thing Sunday morning (takes 5 minutes) hang to dry and I'm good to go..everything is fresh and shiny Sunday evening when I'm ready for bed.
