3.CPAP Maintenance
Once a year, your CPAP supplier will test the device with a tool called a manometer to make sure it’s working properly. Try not to spill liquids, like a glass of water you keep by your bedside, on your device. This could damage the circuits inside. It’s OK to wipe it off with a damp cloth, but don’t plunge it into water. Ask your supplier about the best way to keep the unit clean.
4.CPAP Cleaning Tips
Never use harsh soaps, bleach, alcohol-based rubs or hand sanitizers, or scented oils to clean your CPAP. Use mild dish soap instead. Use a moist wipe to clean the outside. You can wash the mask, tube, or straps in the shower once a week, and then hang them up to dry before you wear them to bed that night.
