Gather Your Supplies
You’ll need a mild soap, a soft cloth, and some warm water. If you have a humidifier on your CPAP machine, white vinegar is recommended to aid in cleaning, too.
Disassemble Your Machine
You’ll want to disassemble your CPAP machine so that you can ensure a thorough cleaning. Here, you’ll want to disconnect the air hose, tubing, mask, and remove the water chamber for your humidifier.
Give Everything a Thorough Cleaning
The next step in cleaning your CPAP or BiPAP machine is to give it a thorough cleaning by using warm water and your mild soap. You can fill your sink with water to submerge your CPAP accessories. Your mask should be washed separately. Don’t forget your headgear, which some have parts to remove as well that you can clean and wash separately.
Rinse and Dry
Once everything has been cleaned, you’ll want to ensure all of the soap is removed, so give everything a good rinsing. Then, set the parts out to air dry, or you can use a soft, dry cloth to speed up the process. From there, reassemble your CPAP machine, and you’re good to go.
