When shopping for the best CPAP cleaner, there are a few things to consider:
- Your Schedule: If you’re able to, the best option will always be a full soap-and-water cleaning routine followed by an air-dry of your equipment. If you are often short on time or prefer a more leisurely bedtime routine, a CPAP cleaning machine like the UVC Sterilizer and dryer for quick clean and sterilization will be your best choice.
