How to clean your mask

Cleaning your mask every day is a very important part of mask maintenance. All masks in the Comfort Series can be cleaned in the same manner. Below you will find the three easy steps to keeping a clean mask:

  1. Wash the mask in warm water with a mild soap and air dry; no need to disassemble the mask. Avoid soap with moisturizers.
  2. Wash your face thoroughly before using your mask.
  3. Inspect your mask. Replace the mask if the cushion becomes hardened or if any parts become damaged.

Even by following these tips, the natural oils in your face will interact with the mask, and over time, the mask will lose its seal. As an informed healthcare consumer, you should be aware of the mask replacement benefits under your healthcare plan. If your plan does not meet your mask replacement needs, talk to your home healthcare provider.

Replace Mask Every 6 Months

On average, most masks require replacement of all the parts touching the face every 6 months. We recommend buying a completely new mask at least every year.
