Mine is bpap, neither the provider nor the manufacturer recommends using any machine to clean it. soap water and vinegar are the only recommended. cleaning agents. I think I probably clean it about 1/10 as often as suggested or when I think of it. My guess is the idea of a special cleaning machine sells and the guy selling makes money. My provider would not say one way or the other. I think I will call the manufacturer. Thanks

Thanks Beeman, a couple point that I have not ever heard about, did not know you could put your own charcoal filter in. No one has ever said anything about hoses and mask lasting longer.

I use the SoClean and love it. I bought mine through Amazon and it was considerably cheaper than trying to buy it though a local home health store. No problems with it or the CPAP in over 3 years.

You still have to hand clean everything once in a while. It will kill the bugs but not the crude that builds up in the mask. Other wise it take 30 sec. to put the mask in the SoClean. The machine takes care of everything.

I clean my mask pad with dawn and warm water every night before I use it and I always use distilled water in my machine. Never had any problems. I replace the hose and mask when my insurance says I can.

I bought the SoClean a few years ago. I'm so glad I listened to the wife on this. Daily manually cleaning the hoses, mask, etc. was a PITA. Since using SoClean, I haven't had any coughs, secretions, etc. I also replace the hoses, mask, water tray, and air filters quite often. Again, so glad I listened to the wife.
