Warm water in a bucket with some antibacterial dish soap. Let the tank and mask soak for a few minutes and then rinse them off. Then run some of that soap water through the tube and slosh it back and forth in the tube for a few minutes. Then rinse the tube out. Set everything out and let it dry. Cheap and easy

Great videos for helping me make an informed decision. Just bought one through your site!

Thank you for the video. I have a ResMed machine with a heater, my company (LinnCare) suggested that I get a Sense 8. Now that I have seen the video I am happy with their suggestion.

So helpful!!! Thank you for this. There are so many options and can be costly to just "try them out".

Thanks 👍🏽but I did wish you could’ve demonstrated with the cpap machine. I’m a visual type of girl 😁

Great video. Thank you.

Thank you. Extremely helpful.

Great Video, Good info , nice cadence and spoken tone. Thank you

Thanks bud for the review. I'm a recently diagnosed apneic patient and a first time user of a CPAP machine. Yours is my first video. 🙂 PS: Your accent reminds me so much of a buddy of mine from Tennessee. Are you Tennessean? Lol.

I ordered the Lumin and started using it today...it's so easy to use, with enough space to fit mask, tubing etc. I love it already....the smell afterwards is so mild and it goes away after a few hours.

After running SoClean, you can definitely smell the ozone in the room, I run my cpap for 5 hours to get the ozone smell out of the tube to where I can use it. I'm starting to think this is dangerous. Also, my insurance and dme provider forced me to use the narrow diameter tubing so it no longer can fit into SoClean without leaking and won't turn on. Back to vinegar and water or some other washing method.

Found all of the filters on Amazon. Pretty reasonable.

Hello. Is there any potential issue with ozone "leaking" or not being sealed using the VirtuClean zipper method? The sleep8 looks like it seals better like a ziploc bag so I'm just wondering if that is potentially an issue for the VirtuClean? Thank you in advance for any guidance!

i found the lumin cleaner at the goodwill for 5.00 dollars i was amazed and its like brand new i was lucky to find this

I just use water and white vinegar every week, simple, cheap, and super effective. Just make sure you replace the mask, hose, humidifier chamber and filters as recommended by the manufacturer.

Thoughts on using the main Lumin unit for cleaning the tubing? I've seen doing that mentioned in other reviews of it.

As of February 1, 2020, ResMed has indicated that ozone damage will void the CPAP manufacturer's warranty. Therefore, it is recommended that SoClean not be used with ResMed CPAP machines.

Still on the fence about using any of these quite yet. Think I’m gonna continue to just soak for a few minutes in warm water with dawn and a really small amount of bleach for right now.

I purchased a SoClean several years ago and while it does an excellent job of cleaning my CPAP equipment, I have found that the construction of the unit to be very cheap. Specifically, the lid is hinged using two incredibly flimsy plastic pins that are molded into the top of the unit. When I accidentally tapped the open lid on one occasion, one of the pins snapped off and as a result the unit would not longer close properly. I was out of warranty so I did an amateur fix by drilling a hole where the pin had been and inserting a piece of steel rod which acts as a replacement pin. Additionally, the lid locking mechanism is similarly very flimsy. It is possible, of course, that these issues have been addressed by SoClean in their more recent models.

Which one do you recommend for the Philips dream station machine.

Does Sleep 8 work without the bag ? For example, if I wanted to put Sleep8 machine and hose, mask into a sealed rubbermaid bin, couple I put sleep 8 in the bin also and would it work w/o the bag? Also, is it possible to connect hose directly to Sleep8 device (I saw it had a triangular port)? thanks

Thank you, I just go my cpap machine and because of your video Im gonna buy one of those cleaners. My question is how often does the cpap machine has to be clean?

There were a few times that I didn’t clean out cpap machine. Water tank and hoses. And when I used the machine without getting it cleaned, I became seriously ill. And my sleep study doctor got very upset with me and said that if I don’t get the equipment cleaned out, I’ll get seriously ill again and face dire repercussions. So now with the current pandemic, I have taken this cpap cleaning very seriously. It’s no laughing matter.

Would you please add a bit more info about the Sleep8 and VirtuClean: How many cleaning cycles can you use each device for before needing to recharge the battery? Thank you.

I've been looking for cleaners to decide which one is better, they recommended using CPAP cleaners. What expiration time do they have and how effective are they?

I have the virtuclean 2.0, I just picked it up 2 days ago so I don't have much of a review yet. I was curious if these machines can be used to clean other items, example cell phone ??

Can you use the Lumin Bullet on the resmed hose? Seems so expensive. Any coupons out there that you know of?

Why can you not use the Lumin bullet on the Resmed climate line heated hose? Is the OD of the hose to large to fit the outer magnetic housing or is there some other reason?

Do you recommend putting the CPAP Machine in the bag as well??

How do you verify that any of these gysmos actually sanityzes the equipment?

Two questions... First, portability is important but those lightweight portables are not sterilizing the chambers within the CPAP machine. Sterilizing the tube and mask is great, but what about the bacteria inside the CPAP machine? Second, why do you need an adapter when using the So-Clean? On my mother's So-Clean, you drop the mask into the chamber, run the hose out the opening and turn it on. Ozone passes through the tubing into the CPAP machine while sterilizing the mask. I don't need an adapter to plug up my heated tubing.

Worth mentioning the Bullet does NOT FIT with heated hose ResMed ClimateLineAir Heated Tube for the AirSense 10 Cpap, Bipap or the Vpap

So they all use ozone except for the lumin with uv light? Are those the only options?

When I use the SoClean2 I open the door or window to allow the ozone to dissipate. My only problem is I use an F-20 mask and with a Memory Foam Cushion. The Memory Foam does not hold up with the ozone, sooooI have to use a dry wipe or a UV light to sanitize.

I love my Lumin

What do you think about the Sani Bot cpap cleaner?

I had the Virtuclean 2.0 and the smell of ozone filled the room it also left me coughing. I'm returning it and staying away from ozone cleaners. I've been looking at the Lumin but I have a heated tube for my cpap, can the bullet be used on heated tubing?

Is it safe and ok to buy a used CPAP cleaning device?

On the Soclean What stops the ozone from coming out the cpap's filter and not through the mask? Does that box create a vacuum?

Does the so clean 2 come with an attachment for heated hose?

Should you use a so clean Every day on your rest med 11?

Give prices of each please!

I ordered a SoClean 2 directly from the company and find I cannot use it. It does discolor my Resmed head gear tubing and also effects the seal. I'm finding hand washing every day works really well. I would love to return this machine...Whenever I call, I'm number 215 or so in the que. I'll keep trying.

I have read lots of "studies" that show the ionized Oxygen "ozone" remain in or on equipment and users report having issues related to it. Could you possible elaborate on this issue being reported, I am sick and tired of spending so much on replacements. Feels like a scam at times to keep making money on me when I don't really need to buy new equipment as often as they say.

Question, I have the sleep8. For about a year now. The issue is, my cpap mask turns a rust/brown color after about a month of use. Is that normal?

the small sleep 8 with the cleaning bag, my understanding is that they are using ozone to clean during the cycle, is it safe to do if in case any ozone left in the hose of cpap and people breath in during use? just curious?

Question i got f40 and i can get my luna machine to go above 20 or 30 when i sleep. What is wrong 1:18

You left out was what about smells unfortunately I know from experience that the so clean leaves horrendous strong smells which is why I use mine once and had to get rid of all of my equipment that it touched. I also bought That uses light that one also as well leaves some smell to it not as bad as the others.Are there any of these machines that actually clean and do not leave a smell I came to this website hoping to find information on If anyone knows of a sanitizer that that does not leave any sent please let me know

So which one do you recommend?

SoClean left all my new masks yellow in color. It left my masks with a smell. My therapist saw my mask and said it looked old. I got my CPAP and SoClean at the same time. April of 2019. She said not to use the SoClean that it destroyed my masks. She said they were being sued.

Which of these cleaners doesn't void the cpap machine warranty?

I brought a brush but kinda scared to use it because I was watching a video n it said to be crazy because it has sensors on it

I'll bet you make more money each month on the consumables, filters and such than anything else. (Good for you ;) ) Do you know which product is the cheapest to operate over time?

How often do you use it. Every day?

What about the residue from the water?

Besides the yellowing of the mask (which is replaced every 6 months) does anyone have any specific URLs describing why Ozone for "cleaning" my cpap is bad? After the first week or two of using my soclean, i no longer get any residual smell of the ozone? especially if I leave it in the device for the better part of the day?

I was wondering I’m thinking of getting a clear tubing that way I can just put it in my lumen machine without having to use the bullet anybody tried this as long as it’s clear it should work? I’m looking for anyone that doesn’t believe any kind of smell if anyone knows of one

the so clean freaking smells like chemicals sent it back thought I was getting sick from it!

I use auto bi-pap by resmed and got a bad running nose just like a cold but I knew it was the machine and when I stopped it went away right away. I cleaned everything with white vinegar and also with soap sometimes. I rinsed well but think something was wrong with the cleaning. I have got to try it again but resmed says on their website the oxygen damages the machine so afraid to use that. With the ultraviolet they said rinse the hose after use?? Does that mean inside? Do I have to use distilled water to clean it because they said don't use tap water in the water container. I'm so confused.

How does one clean the inside of the machine itself especially with Covid around these days?

Pricing would be helpful.

Can any of these be used on a Bi pap

I'm scared period because my DME people said don't use DAWN u would think it's gentle on the ducks would be ok NOOOOOTTTT the soap hydro in it breaks the plastic down one lady said she use Johnson n Johnson

Will any of these work on a bi-pap machine?

I was told by my sleep tech all of those machines void the warranty, so if mine breaks, too bad. So soap and water with an occasional peroxide class will do.

How much do they cost

I just bought a soclean and resmed said the soclean would destroy my resmed machine. Resmed said to stop using the soclean right away and would void my warranty. All the other cleaners are so cumberson.

OK I have a razz med CPAP machine and I’m trying to find a cleaner for the machine the humidifier tank the masks and the holes what is safe to use with the rest med CPAP

I would not use any of these I would keep on washing my tubing with vinegar

I have read ozone is not safe to breathe and that if you don’t completely air out the tubes and machine before using, you are risking your health.

FDA has not approved ozone cleaners for CPAP machines. I bought an ozone cleaner and the residual smell which you breath in made me cough a lot so I quit using it. The company gave me a 50% refund. Just use soap and water once a week and you will be fine. My recent Phillips unit Dream Machine 2 says to not use an ozone cleaner..

No mention of price on different models or efficacy against the covid19 virus. Disappointing.

I've been told that the use of any of these products will void the warranty on my dream machine with humidifier. I'm having a hell of a time finding a "soap" that doesn't ruin the silicone and most importantly for me, is perfume free. I've been forbidden to use Dawn and was told I could only use Ivory dishwashing liquid or baby shampoo, both of which are highly perfumed and no matter how long I rinse my components they still stink and trigger massive migraines. :/ I'm out of ideas. Hate using this crap.

NO CPAP machine is FDA approved.

Acrost? Across does not havea T on the end. 18 months is built to last? Sounds like planned obsolescence to me.

All are a waste of money. Once a week I soak in the sink for 30-45 minutes with hot water and colorless and orderless dishwashing liquid. That’s all you need and a hell of a lot cheaper.

I simply don't get it, you'd dump a bunch ozone in your house once a day. It is extremely toxic to your lungs. I'd want to do it outside.

Not much to go on when all of the reviews are the same; "its good."

I purchased the VirtuClean 1.0 and after few months the battery start holding only three cleaning instead of the seven. Called several times their customer service and never were able to have anyone to take care of the warranty. Just be careful with that company

In light of the Philip’s recall, ozone cleaners are now a no-no as it destroys its foam.

O

Acrosst is not a word.

You really should have told us how to use them. This video didn't really tell me anything.

Had to give this a thumbs down, click bait. Your title says "Top 5 CPAP.....". What makes these cleaners the top 5? You never provided any information that relates to these machines that might allow them to be in your "The top 5...." Did you buy these machines with your own money? Have you actually used all of these products? I would think if an honest tuber did a review like this he/she might provide an explanation as to why they are your "Top 5 CPAP...". Is it price, function, form? Which other cleaners did not make the "Top 5 CPAP....."?

I thought the title said "Top 5 Crap Cleaners"

Do your research. This is an old video but these cleaners were NEVER made or cleared by the FDA to clean CPAP equipment. The FDA is presently investigating all of them. Ozone is horrible for respiratory patients especially those with COPD. If you still want to use them at least clear the tubing and humidifier after cleaning it to make sure you get rid of the ozone. But remember it's still in the air. Look at your CPAP machine paperwork. Some even say cleaners that produce ozone should NOT be used to clean their products. It also can damage parts of the units which was seen by Respironics voluntary recall of the Dreamstation 1.

Useless review unless knowing the different dimension is useful to you.

Cleans....nope.

Sterilized...nope.

It is my understanding that these machines are NOT recommended ... and may be harmful to your machine. YOU need to address this.

THIS WAS A WASTE OF TIME, B,S, INFO.....
