A true sleep ninja keeps their gear clean and mission-ready. Regular cleaning protects your health and extends the life of your CPAP equipment, while the right supplies make maintenance simple and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use bleach to clean my CPAP supplies?

NEVER use bleach. It is too harsh for the materials and can be dangerous if any residue is inhaled.

What kind of soap is best for CPAP equipment?

Use a clear, mild dish soap (like Dawn or Ivory) that does not contain perfumes, dyes, or antibacterial agents.

Can I use 'CPAP Wipes' on my machine's screen?

No. Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth for the screen. Alcohol or chemicals in some wipes can damage the screen coating.

Should I clean my machine if I use an Ozone cleaner?

Even if you use an automated cleaner, it is still necessary to manually wash your mask to remove facial oils and skin cells that the cleaner cannot remove.

How do I sanitize my equipment after being sick?

Soak your mask, tube, and water chamber in a 1:3 vinegar-to-water solution for 30 minutes, then wash with mild soap and rinse thoroughly.

What is a 'Tube Brush'?

A tube brush is a long, flexible wire with bristles on the end, specifically designed to scrub the entire inside length of a 6-foot CPAP hose.
