Why cleaning matters.
A regular routine removes residue, helps care for the mask seal and keeps equipment ready to use. Start with the user guide for your exact mask, machine and humidifier.
Mask & headgear
Clean as directed for your model. Foam cushions can need different care from silicone cushions; don’t assume they can all be washed.
Tubing & water chamber
Disconnect before cleaning. Rinse and dry parts fully as instructed, and follow your humidifier’s water guidance.
Machine & filters
Unplug before wiping the exterior. Keep the machine dry and inspect filters; replace disposable filters rather than washing them.
Check the manufacturer’s instructions before using any cleaner or cleaning device. Contact us about worn parts, unusual smells or noises, or equipment that is not working normally. Talk to our team ↗
