You use your CPAP for eight hours per night. Room air goes in to the machine, filter, tube, mask and nose. Then exhaled air goes back into the mask, tube, and machine. Your CPAP machine works hard to send a constant flow of air pressure into your airways. Over time dust, allergens, germs, viruses, and other harmful pathogens can collect. Then as moisture and humidity collect, the inside of your CPAP supplies turn into the perfect breeding ground for mold and bacteria.This may raise the possibility of nasty colds, sinus infections, and even pneumonia.

Not only does keeping your CPAP clean help you get sick less often.Best of all, it can help you save money because keeping your equipment clean helps it last longer so you won’t need to replace parts as often.
