Can you use baby wipes to clean your CPAP mask?

Baby wipes can be an affordable and effective solution for cleaning and maintaining your CPAP mask and cushion. But you should check the ingredients before using a baby wipe to clean your CPAP gear.  

If possible, we suggest purchasing actual CPAP wipes that have been specially designed to clean your mask and machine without leaving residue or degrading the material. 

What to avoid when choosing wipes for cleaning your CPAP:

  • Lanolin
  • Lotion
  • Alcohol
  • Bleach

Frequently asked questions

Can I Use Lysol Wipes on My CPAP Mask?

While it isn’t recommended to regularly use Lysol wipes to clean your CPAP mask, doing so in a pinch is okay, assuming you have no allergies to any of the ingredients. Keep in mind that you’ll be breathing in whatever residue is left behind for several hours a night, so you’ll typically want to avoid products that use harsh chemicals to disinfect.

Can I Use Alcohol Wipes on My CPAP Mask?

Whenever possible, you should try to use non-alcoholic wipes for CPAP. Alcohol wipes will disinfect and clean your equipment in a pinch, but we don’t recommend them for long-term use. Your mask cushion may begin to dry out and crack more quickly if regularly cleaned with alcohol wipes.

Can I Use Clorox Wipes on My CPAP Mask?

Just like Lysol wipes, you’ll be breathing in whatever residue is left behind for several hours each night. Clorox wipes won’t damage your mask in a pinch, but we don’t recommend them over CPAP wipes for regular cleaning.

Final thoughts
