How to Clean Home Respiratory Equipment the Right Way

If you or a loved one uses respiratory equipment like a CPAP machine, nebulizer, or oxygen concentrator, keeping it clean is critical. Regular cleaning not only extends the life of your equipment but also protects against respiratory infections and mold buildup.

Here’s your complete guide on how to clean home respiratory equipment—and how Ology Supplies can help you stay stocked with affordable cleaning supplies and accessories.

Why Cleaning Respiratory Equipment Matters

CPAPs, nebulizers, and other breathing devices come into direct contact with your respiratory system. Without regular cleaning, harmful bacteria, mold, and allergens can build up and be inhaled, leading to illness or worsened conditions.

Cleaning your equipment properly is essential for:

• Preventing infections

• Ensuring device efficiency

• Maintaining hygiene and comfort

CPAP Machine Cleaning Tips

Daily:

• Wipe down the mask with a CPAP-friendly wipe

• Empty and rinse the humidifier chamber with warm water

Weekly:

• Wash the tubing, mask, and humidifier with mild soap and warm water

• Air dry completely before reassembling

🛒 Ology Supplies offers low-cost CPAP wipes, tubing brushes, and replacement filters to make maintenance easier and more affordable.

How to Clean a Nebulizer

After Each Use:

• Rinse the mouthpiece and medication cup with warm water

• Let air dry on a clean paper towel

Daily:

• Wash all removable parts with mild dish soap and warm water

• Rinse thoroughly and air dry

Weekly:

• Disinfect using a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water

• Soak for 30 minutes, then rinse and air dry

Replace disposable nebulizer parts regularly to avoid contamination. You can find replacement kits and filters at affordable prices on www.ologysupplies.com.

Other Respiratory Equipment Tips

For oxygen concentrators, always:

• Wipe down the exterior weekly

• Replace or wash filters as directed

• Never use harsh chemicals or alcohol-based wipes

Tip: Always refer to your manufacturer’s instructions before cleaning, and use only compatible cleaning products.
