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.
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.
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!
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?

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.
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
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?
Hi! For most CPAP machines, when replacing filters, the smooth side of the filter should face toward the machine (air outlet), while the rough side faces outward (air intake). However, it’s always best to double-check with the specific manual for your machine or search online for a digital manual, as filter types and placements may vary.
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.
Hi! Thanks for watching. Yes, you're correct that distilled water is required for therapy use in your CPAP machine to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance. However, for cleaning your machine setup and accessories, using safe drinking water (tap water not mentioned) is perfectly fine. The video just focuses on the cleaning process, hope this helps clarify.
I tuned in to see how to clean my heated hose with electronic components. Nothing but, "check the instructions for cleaning". Otherwise it's just clean everything with soapy water.
