CPAP SOAP - srlevine1 - 03-26-2020
Today I received three emails from different companies attempting to sell me "CPAP" soap to clean my device and accessories.
This is the first time I have been pitched for "CPAP" soap.
Is there any benefit to specific soaps that are labeled for CPAP use? Are they superior to Dawn -- which I found being used on local ducks that needed to be cleaned?
Or is this a profit-generating label like "organic" which allows for premium pricing for smaller quantities?

Never heard of CPAP specific soap. Being the suspicious individual that I am, and having spent 30 yrs. in LE, it smells like a scam to me.
Dawn dish soap seems to do all that I meed it to do.

Srlevine1, I'm nearly certain, you are asking a question, while fully knowing the answer, but thanks for baiting the waters.

Oh okay.......kind of like oil companies formulating engine oils specifically designed for 4x4 vehicles.

Let me guess. Is it more expensive than Dawn?

Moi?
No, I wanted to know if anyone in the community used the product and if it was better than what I presently use (Dawn) in light of the COVID-19 pandemic?
As far as I can tell, it's a legitimate product from a real company. It's called "PURDOUX CPAP Mask and Hose Cleaning Soap" and is being offered in various scents by some of the suppliers on the forum's supplier's list.
Besides, chummng is illegal in most freshwater lakes around here.

I've used Dawn regularly on the same F20 cushion for about 2 years. Still soft.

My personal take: Dawn and similar are good enough. CPAP soap only cleans your pockets of all those loose dollar bills and coins.

Thank you. Since I do not see anything that appears to be preferential, I will stick with Dawn. Thanks for the information.

So, you posed a legitimate question after all?
There for a moment, I kind of felt like a fool for responding to your post.
