Ugg... I have central sleep apnea. I'm experiencing dark staining on the right and left of my pillowcase's. I use the p10 nasal pillows. I have tried different pillowcases such as silk, flannel and cotton but im still getting stains
Anyone have thoughts or the same experiance?

thanks
S

Wash your hair.
Wash your face.
Brush your teeth.
It is not the cpap.
That would be impossible.

Might be drool.

My vote would be for drool stains. I get them often.

Saw the topic title Dark Stain on my Pillowcases, thought it was another topic about KnightSleeper.

Carry on...

I don't think even OxyClean will get out KS... but I suppose it's worth a try *goes to get the costco size box out of the laundry room*

Back to the OP's problem--if nothing removes it--dye it.
Rit for natural fibers, other dyes for synthetics.
Follow directions to ensure colorfastness.
Tie-dye hair is a big surprise--but not fun.

I have the same problem and can't figure out what's causing it. I am meticulous about cleaning my cpap so I know there are no mold issues. The best I can guess is that it has something to do with the air vent on my nose piece as many of the stains have a linear pattern to them and are located in the general area where the vent would be when I sleep on my side.
I have no problem getting the stains out of the pillowcases but they are stained again the first night after changing them. I didn't notice the problem until I switched my bed linens to white. I assume it happened before but I didn't notice the stains on beige pillowcases. And it happens with my husband's cpap, too.

That's probably a mistake.

So go with beige, then.
My whites eventually turn beige anyway.

(I can't stand the smell of bleach.)
Likewise, ozone.
My mother gave me good instincts.
