SoClean 2 CPAP Equipment Cleaner Review

One of our very best sellers to keep our client's CPAP equipment in tip-top shape would hands down be the SoClean 2 CPAP Cleaner made by BetterRest Solutions. Whether you're using a ResMed or Respironics CPAP machine, this specially designed apparatus is compatible with most CPAP manufacturers. The SoClean 2 uses an activated oxygen technology to keep your CPAP equipment safe and germ-free. The activated oxygen technology, also known as ozone eliminates 99% of germs and bacteria that may be lingering in your CPAP equipment. 

The SoClean 2 is a waterless one-step cleaning system for your CPAP's main unit, water chamber, hoses and CPAP masks. The filter and check valve in the unit requires replacement approximately every 6 months.

SoClean 2: What Are The Pros And Cons?

As with all CPAP cleaning equipment, there are advantages and disadvantages. Below, we list the highlighted pros and cons of the SoClean 2 CPAP Sanitizer.

List Of Pros:

• QUICK: A sufficient 10-minute cycle is all that’s needed to destroy most bacteria and mould in and around your CPAP equipment after usage.
• SMART: Auto-Start function is available for users to set a specific time where the unit will start automatically. Simply wake up, put accessories in the SoClean 2 and go.
• COMPLETE SANITIZATION: SoClean 2 not only sanitizes your mask, tubing and water chamber, but the ozone also penetrates deep into your CPAP machine (all the crevices)  to kill 99% germs that are trapped inside the machine motor.

List Of Cons:

• REPLACEMENT: It is required to replace the filter and check valve approximately every 6 months. This is an added cost to maintaining the unit.
• EXTRA PARTS: You can only sanitize the water chamber if you purchase the appropriate adapter for your model of CPAP machine.
• LAG TIME: If using SoClean 2 prior to CPAP therapy, it’s required to wait 4-6 hours following sanitizing to using your CPAP equipment for the ozone to dissipate.
• ODOUR: Clients report there is a mild ozone scent that quickly dissipates once the cycle has completed.

Our Final Verdict: What We Really Think Of This CPAP Cleaner

The SoClean 2 delivers on its promises - it's reliable and easy to use. We highly recommend the unit. Many of us are unaware CPAP equipment is a breeding ground for microorganisms. Water and soap are effective for cleaning facial oils and dirt, but won’t suffice for germs and bacteria. 

If you find you’re getting sick frequently or suffer from a lingering sickness, contaminated CPAP equipment could be the source. Weigh the pros and cons and consider investing in a CPAP sanitizer to keep germs at bay. A CPAP sanitizer will ultimately improve your experience with CPAP therapy and enhance your overall sleep health.
