Wipes for cleaning mask

Post by JoeWingrove » Sun Jul 26, 2015 7:12 pm

Just wondering if anyone has some suggestions for wipes for cleaning a full face mask every day. Currently I am using Huggies Natural Care and they seem to do the job and don't have anything that would be bad for the mask but wondering if there are any better things to use.

I think any wipe is OK as long as its alcohol free and moisturizer free.

No alcohol or petroleum jelly (Vaseline) in there... Cpap.com has some you can order.

I always just use alcohol and a squirt of purell.... cleans the grease off for a good seal.

Baby wipes for the last 17 years. Never had any problems.

Unscented baby wipes or cpap wipes; I honestly can't tell the difference.
--except the price.

In reading this thread, I've decided to give the alcohol/scent free baby wipes a try. Probably won't do this everyday but start with a couple of days a week to see how things go. Currently, I've been using a generic baby wash solution to wash the cushion daily. Once a week soak the cushion in a cold vinegar water bath.

I've tried all kinds and I love these linked below. They are sold by our forum sponsors, but if you buy something they often throw in a container for 1 cent.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
