Cleaning CPAP
How do you clean your CPAP and how often do you clean it?
I try too clean mine daily with just soap and water but have a question, can I possibly use my so-clean I bought a few years ago to sanitize the tubing and water chamber on my res-med ? Right now it's just been sitting in the closet since 2021.

. I would think you could still use it as long as it works. If you want to be extra safe, you could call the manufacturer and see what they say. Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
I remove all the removable parts and wash them in warm water and soap. I put a few drops of soap in the hose and fill it with water. Then I put it in the sink to soak wit the rest of the parts. Wash and rense thoroughly. Lay the parts out to dry. Rense the hose thoroughly and hang to dry.
I try to do this once a week. This helps cut down on my sinus issues.That's so smart,
. Bacteria can build up in CPAP machines pretty quickly. - Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
Any body know how to get the cleaning machine for cpap for sleep apnea chip or to less price than Amazon is expensive....and is only one brand name in the market.
you can check with the medical equipment company you get your supplies from. I get mine from Lincare, and they are always trying to sell me one. Even if you aren’t a client of theirs, I don’t think they would have an issue with selling one to you. Last time I talked to them, they had 2 different machines they were selling. Other than that, I would just Google the machines and see if anyone has any better prices. I’ve started doing that with everything I’m trying to get, I’m finding Amazon is not always the best deal. I hope this helps.
I clean my CPAP every Sunday. I finally bit the bullet and purchased one of the machines that clean it for me because I avoided cleaning it by hand for far too long. I have two of the Lumin products, one for the face mask and humidifer part and then the Lumin Bullet to clean the long tubing. I really like these products and it makes it so much easier for me to clean my machine!
