About CleanerOnly
CleanerOnly CPAP Cleaner is a device that sanitizes a CPAP machine in order to keep it clean and safe for use. Keeping your CPAP machine clean is important for the effectiveness of your CPAP. The CPAP cleaner automatically does the dirty work of eliminating bacteria and viruses from your gear.
The CPAP consists of a filter, humidifier and mask that need to be routinely cleaned. It is typically worn every night and can easily collect germs, pollutants, bacteria, viruses, and even develop mold.
Even if your CPAP machine looks clean, it is likely to have invisible contaminants that collect over time. Any pollutants or germs you come in contact with during the day can come into contact with your CPAP mask when applying it at night. Also, since a humidifier is used, moisture sits in the machine tubing and mask, and this can develop fungi and dangerous molds that love to dwell in moist places. These can actually be blown into your lungs while using your machine and even cause an irritation of the respiratory tract, cough, or infection.
Dirty CPAP and BiPAP machines not only have an adverse effect on your health, but also reduce the lifespan of your machine, may void the warranty, and can lead to an unwanted leakage in the machine, keeping it from reaching your set pressure.
