Thank you so much! I have looked at many sites since I began therapy & yours is THE BEST! Easy to follow & made common sense! Thanks again. Say hello to your fur baby from me😊
I use the Phillips dreamwear nasal pillow mask. I don’t use my humidifier. I use the SoClean every day. After it says it’s ok to remove hose and mask, I swing each in a circle very fast about 20 times then hang the up to air out. Before using at night, I wash the nasal pillow, and then I use the cpap machine to blow through everything for a few minutes to remove any left over Ozone. I also regularly wash the mask frame every 2-4 weeks, or if my nose gets irritated. I believe Most of my issues in the past were caused by irritation from excessive Ozone left in the tubing, etc. I occasionally get a dry throat cough in the evening, but don’t know if it’s related. I don’t clean my tubing, (since the positive air pressure should keep any germs and moisture out of it??) but I do replace it about every 3 months if needed. I sleep at 8-8.4 psi on auto with that range set. Let me know if I’m doing something dreadful.
Really makes sense. Please, your evaluation/ maybe advice on BIPap/Cpap machines
Tap water in different countries is not always drinkable we use demineralised water stops salt buildup requiring a deep clean.
Good advice
I use clear unscented dish soap instead of dawn or Palmolive
I get it some people are germaphobes....my wife is one. But that heated hose for the ResMed AirSense 10 is $89. I am not changing that out every 3 months. I clean it once a week with CPAP cleaner and it only takes a capful for a gallon of water. I have a SoClean 2 that I use every day. It turns on automatically when I am at work and cleans the mask, headgear, water chamber and heated hose. The only time I have ever had a problem with mold was when I couldn't find distilled water and was using purified baby water. Even then the only thing that got moldy was the water chamber. The aluminum plate on the bottom of my water tank has had a heat stain for awhile now but it still works fine. I think you guys are over-thinking this.
Over TEN YEARS never cleaned, although replaced hose sometimes and air filter when I notice it. I use CPAP every day. 😊
@@Bill-xx2yh Haha that might be the extreme in the other direction. I think they do need periodic cleaning. Just not every day.
Mold is not the only problem. It might only happen to people that only clean their equipment every 10 years (ahem..). Something called “bio film” is the main enemy to cpap users, which is why regular washing is recommended for the equipment. It grows fast in seating water or wet surfaces, and it can harvest, carry and develop random bad bacteria, and once you get an infection from it, antibiotics might not even work well.
If you can afford it, don’t risk your health unnecessarily. Cpap usage is not a thing of just a couple of years, so doing it wrong might create consequences in the long run. At least you’re washing regularly, but not changing the hose a few times a year could be an issue cause those are not easy to clean thoroughly. I switch mine every 4 months to be safe.
You don’t need to be a germophobe to care about your health. You can still clean and switch your equipment as indicated cause in the end if you don’t, you would be the main person paying the consequences of it.
Surely you can wash the filter under cold water and air dry lasting 6 months.
Filters are cheap enough. Why even bother. 🤷♂️

I was told that I could not get a new machine with medicare for 10years.
The best CPAP cleaner that has worked well for me is a soak with warm water and a splash of Dawn. Wipe down down every morning..once a week (Sun generally) into a plastic tub warm water splash dawn. Agree ..verythin*
You left out those of us with the AirFit with the memory foam! I use baby wipes to clean mine. It just can't take heavy water!

What are you thoughts on Ultrasonic Cleaner tanks? Was thinking about getting one and tossing the tube and mask in there. The cleaning brush is probably one of the worse process.
Thanks for the video. I use distilled water and wash my water tank with baby shampoo and water once a week (along with my other pieces of equipment). I will also use vinegar water about once a month or so. As long as the water tank is free of signs of mold and is cleaned regularly, is there any reason to replace it? For example, if the plate at the bottom becomes too burnt-looking, is that a sign it should be changed out?
Also, how often should the hose connector inside the Resmed machines be replaced, assuming you are washing it with soap and water once a week?
Hi John, great advice with distilled water, vinegar, and baby shampoo as well. I am more paranoid about the humidifier than any other part so I usually change it every few months but I’m not someone who cleans his equipment thoroughly. If I were, maybe once a year. I have ran out of water many times where I smell plastic burning and I will replace the water chamber immediately after that. As far as that inside hose connector goes, every year or two is good and the only reason I suggest that is not because of the durability of the part but the possibility of mold, etc.. in parts of the silicone pieces that may be hard to clean to begin with.
I just bought CPAP mask wipes at Walmart. Works great and very easy...
I have a ? How do I get my Resmed 11 to run constantly so I can dry out my hose??
Dang I can’t do all this every single day I don’t have the time
Very balanced recommendations! Manufactures and some DME's want you to replace parts more often because they make more money! Remember if you do not use a CPAP it is regular air. Why should it be different with a CPAP... regular air? Ozone cleaners destroyed my CPAP Respironics Dreamstation!
My bonus tip is to use the F&P HC150 humidifier!
Hi Arne. F&P HC150 work with any CPAP Machine? Looks like it may be a good alternative for a larger humidification chamber with current cpap if that’s the case.
@@USAMedicalSupply Yes it is a separate unit and it comes with a short hose to connect to the CPAP machine you have! I turn off the CPAP humidification and run it dry! 😂
Very cool!
Yes - very good/balanced video...Thank you.
Question for both of you - Why would a person really need an alternative and larger humidifier/water reservoir?? FYI - I'm new as of 5 mos ago to my 2nd attempt to a CPAP machine. Could not tolerate being confined to the hose, etc 10 yrs ago. Latest attempt going very well. Just getting ready to exchange old Resmed 10 for the model 11 machine
I KNEW that he was going to say that the best cleaner is "YOU!"
LOL
And I believe it!
The best cleaner is YOU!!
Excellent…ty❤
So we don't have to use distilled water. And how you clean heated hose if you can't get it wet
You should use it with distilled water. I rinse mine out with tap and air dry. You can get the heated hose wet, don’t submerge the circuit on the end but run water through the hose with a mild detergent like dawn or Palmolive. 🥂
I have always submerged mine to thoroughly clean it. I just make sure I have it to dry sand make sure the connector is dry before use, usually is after hanging 8+hours to dry.
That you for another great video.
I wash mask parts and water tank
daily with soap and water with
a deep cleaning of all cpap parts
weekly. Has worked well for me
since I started CPAP in April 2018.
Thanks for contributing Saunookweather. Happy New Year!
too much!
You shouldn't use soap, dish soap is recommended. It cleans but doesn't really sanitize though. For that you need diluted vinegar, or a UV-C cpap cleaner.
I just used soap as a generic term. I use Ajax Vinegar and Lime Ultra Liquid Dish Soap to clean my cpap equipment.@@KenDebono
I was told not to use Dawn.
Haven’t heard that. By who and why?
@@USAMedicalSupply my respiratory therapist told me.
I use a little bit of peanut butter to have a tight seal.
So the best cpap cleaner is just soap and water. Was sure hoping you'd say Lumin or something. Good video though, thx.
Yes! Thanks.
