Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by gathering the supplies you’ll need to clean your CPAP device. You’ll need access to an empty sink or tub as well as warm, drinking-quality water that is around 86°F. Make sure you also have mild soap and a clean towel ready.
Confirm that your CPAP machine is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
Next, carefully disconnect your mask and air tubing from the device.
Disassemble your mask into its individual parts, which typically consists of the headgear, cushion, and frame.
In your sink or tub, clean your mask cushion and headgear to remove any oil buildup. Gently rub the equipment with mild soap and warm water.
Once it’s clean, rinse the equipment thoroughly with warm water.
Lay your frame and cushion on a flat surface on top of a dry towel. You can dry it manually or you can leave it to air dry. Remember to avoid placing these items in direct sunlight.
