Cleaning silicone cpap masks is a necessary part of care
Check the specific part's manual first to make sure you're following the correct care regimen, but generally you should clean your CPAP mask, pad, or pad on a daily basis. Your humidifier chamber, reusable filter, and tubing should be cleaned weekly, but make sure to empty and dry the humidifier chamber daily and only fill it with distilled water at bedtime.
As masks, tubing and other components are sucked in and vented overnight, keeping them clean can pose serious health concerns. Daily cleaning removes harmful microbes, mold, dust and debris to ensure you feel better, not worse, after your CPAP treatment. While daily cleaning may seem like a chore, it's a relatively quick process that's easy to incorporate into your routine.
Replaced the humidifier and water chamber on my Dreamstation and after attaching this new one I realized that the spring had broken on my original one. Wow, this one is so much easier to use and has a tighter seal. Shipping was quick as well.
