1. That’s the shortest hose ever and simply “soaking it” does nothing to clean the inside. 2. You’d never use your machine if you cleaned like this daily because the hose and other parts would never be dry. 3. My manual specifically states that two pieces (the tank and one of the internal connections) can be done in the dishwasher which I do.
You will after you get a few respiratory illnesses that could put you in the hospital. Do you not wash your face and brush your teeth twice a day, and wash your hands every time you use the restroom? How is this any different? I had a good friend who had the same attitude. He cleaned his machine when he felt like it. Because he failed to properly care for the machine parts, parts of the machine failed sooner than expected, and some tiny pieces actually got into his lungs. After several weeks in the hospital (that cost a small fortune, despite having good insurance). They sent him home with a new machine, and better cleaning instructions. He worked on losing weight and getting healthier, because like you, he was too lazy to protect his health with the CPAP.
You only clean the mouth and nose part of the mask - it can get off from the rest of the mask - and the water chamber every day. Everything else is cleaned weekly.
@@cherylmcnutt9905 I found out the hard way it is possible to get Pneumonia if your hose, mask and tank are not cleaned properly. Since then I run baby wash soap through the hose and mask every morning and let it air dry during the day and do a deep cleaning of the hose and tank on the weekends.
Options hang dry hook to cpap machine on lamp timer for a few hours or hold up to home vacuum cleaner before you use vacuum . Tube should be mostly dry and anything in vacuum wet should dry as you use the vacuum .
2:11 Didn't she forget to say to shake the reservoir so that the vinegar solution would reach all the areas of the reservoir? Or, am I missing something?
The replacement filters are different from the ones that come with the unit. No changing instructions are provided with the machine. Does the rough or smooth side of the filters face the machine at the air outlet?
I am a skeptic about cleaning my CPAP frequently. Can you show me any studies that prove that people get sick (or sicker) if they don't ? I hope you can because it might motivate me to clean things more regularly.
Cleaning your CPAP regularly is crucial for your health and the effectiveness of your therapy. A clean CPAP helps prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria, mold, and allergens that can impact your breathing and overall well-being. By keeping your equipment clean, you'll ensure better air quality, extend the life of your machine, and improve your sleep therapy results. Taking just a few minutes to clean it can make a big difference in how you feel!
Tap water has minerals in it. As the water is humidified and evaporates, it will eventually leave behind residue. Distilled water does not have minerals in it.
Im horrible with measuring, etc and this measuring in parts is annoying. Can anyone just say how many cups and vinegar to soak all of this in?? I work seven days a week and need this to be as simple as possible.
I would think the air hose would need to be cleaned a lot more often if you use it with the humidified heated air then if your run it with dry air... The air in my air hose of mine now smells stale after the first week of only a few hours use with humidified and heated (24c) air trough it...
I was having issues so I did a follow up with the Hospital. I was told not to open windows. In a cold wet enviroment most of the year. I had trouble with the non heated tube. I was getting dry mouth as the water did not last in the tank. I had water in the mask so the seal was bad going red. Maybe one two hour broken sleep on and off. I got a heated tube and can sleep five or more hours now, better seals dryer inside the mask and I don't get that smell you are on about. Think I am having problems get the right level of cleaning. Getting a lot sinus infections of late. Clean mask & tank daily, but heated tube once a week I was told. Maybe more regular cleaning with the heated tube. Maybe change filters more often.
Looks like you featured the climate air tubing, but how do you actually clean it? Do you submerge everything? It looks like it has some electronic component.
If you are talking about the little chip plug in at the end of the tube, that can go into the vinegar and water. But double check with your machine specifically

I rince my mask out daily but everything else once a week - sometimes less though. ..
No way I'm doing all that every day

Lol, bullshit, part of machine going into his lungs because he didn't wash daily? I guess you are checking the electric turbine every 10h?

I chose to just stop breathing at night. Better than doing this.
Best to suggest some mild soaps…..that would be helpful!
Totally agree! I was thinking maybe Ivory Soap?
I use Johnsons and Johnsons baby soap and shampoo.
@@Unclebillyr agreed.. my tech suggested baby soap
I thought you were supposed to wash the hose once a week as well. This is not working for me at all 😢
I clean my tubing once a week. Change nose pillows bi-weekly, but rinse out every other day. Change filter when machine tells me to.
What about drying? That's the hardest part.😂
Options hang dry hook to cpap machine on lamp timer for a few hours or hold up to home vacuum cleaner before you use vacuum . Tube should be

No one will ever do this
Do I rinse after using vinegar and water.
I'm knew to this do I disconnect the tubing daily to air dry.

I'm lucky to get mine once a week
Be careful, you should try at least 3x week.
Do you a link for the supplies?

Nah it’s BS dawg. I hardly clean mine. They want the parts to wear out so they can sell you more!
Aren't we required to use distilled water for cleaning, not tap water???
I’m a truck driver no way I can clean everyday
You can wipe the mask every day with a wipe. I use Honest brand wipes
Tap water to clean,so why distilled water to use would rinsing with tap water leave microbes germs?
Tap water has minerals in it. As the water is humidified and evaporates, it will eventually leave behind residue. Distilled water does not have minerals in it.
Idk why the manufacturer never explained this to me
happy to help
Im horrible with measuring, etc and this measuring in parts is annoying. Can anyone just say how many cups and vinegar to soak all of this in?? I work seven days a week and need this to be as simple as possible.
I clean my water chamber, tubing, nose piece every other day. I try to remember to vinegar water chamber once a wk
Where can I find a clear plastic box like you used for cleaning my cpap equipment
You really wouldn't need it to be clear plastic. You can get a small plastic tub in the cleaning area of your local walmart/whatever and use that.
Daily? Haha talk about over doing it. Once a week is fine, people.
Yeah. The company I got it from told me once a week but to dump & put fresh water daily & wipe inside mask with a baby wipe. ?
@@richardb.5691 Yep, the nationwide medical set up nurse said just once a week will do.
where do I get the cleaning basin? That one is nice.
Amazon, maybe?
You could probably find one like that at a restaurant supply store. It looks like a big measuring vessel like what they use in restaurants.
Why not wake up every hour and clean them and wear it again
😂😂😂
Haha right? I don’t think I’ve cleaned mine this year. Going to do it now, whether it needs it or not.

Anyone have the tubing with the electrical components? Thats what I need to clean and this was no help at all 🤦♀️
I'm not sure .. I don't have the same cpap machine like the video.

Is baby soap OK to wash it with?
Yes
OK, thank you for letting me know
advice overemphases the real danger for a machine working in a normal inside air. Please, use your common sense and experience!
She made sure that engagement ring was showing. She did well
Ring don't plug a hole but I'd plug all 3 of hers.
