Using the SoClean 2 CPAP Sanitizing Machine
The CPAP Shop explains how the SoClean2 CPAP cleaner allows you to eliminate mask wipes and sanitize your CPAP equipment to be 99.9% bacteria-free!
The machine works with most CPAP machines and masks, and no water is needed. When you use the SoClean to sanitize your CPAP mask, tubing and reservoir, you do not have to disassemble the mask, tubing and humidifier. Instead of water, it uses activated oxygen to sanitize the mask, hose, and reservoir.
Using the SoClean 2
To do this, you simply connect the SoClean 2 to the back of your CPAP and place the mask inside the SoClean, with the tubing hooked to an adapter that is connected to your CPAP machine. Set the timer, and the SoClean makes a low humming sound for about 10 minutes until the cycle is finished.
SoClean 2 Uses Activated Oxygen to Clean
The machine works by pushing activated oxygen through the tubing and adapter, inside the reservoir of the CPAP machine, and then back to the SoClean 2 machine. The mask, tubing, and reservoir are cleaned along the way.
Activated oxygen kills bacteria, mold, virus, and fungus. When the machine adds a third atom of oxygen to the O2 oxygen that we breathe, it forms a new molecule of ozone (O3), otherwise known as activated oxygen, that destroys bacteria and viruses through oxidation.
After about two hours, the O3 reverts back into O2. The very first time you use your SoClean 2, you should pre-wash your mask, hose, and reservoir using the included Neutralizing Pre-Wash. Any time you add new equipment to your CPAP therapy, you should use the pre-wash on it.
How Often Should You Use Your SoClean2?
It is recommended that at a minimum, you clean your CPAP machine weekly. The SoClean2 can be used daily to help reduce bacteria build-up. SoClean 2 is so easy that you can increase your cleaning frequency to prevent illness and infection.
Maintaining Your SoClean2
To remove dust, you may wipe down the SoClean 2 with a damp cloth. The SoClean check valve assembly and filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months. A reminder message on the display will appear after approximately 6 months, depending upon usage.

I GOT LOUD BUZZING NOISE WHEN I STARTED THE CLEANING MACHJNE FOR THE FIRST TIME. IS THIS NORMAL
Hi Dan,
The SoClean does have a low hum associated with it
My fathers machine also has a LOUD BUZZING NOISE, not a LOW HUM. What does this mean?
Hi Judy, was the SoClean dropped at all? Make sure all connections are secure and the adapter, if one is needed, is in place correctly. Typically a loud buzzing would indicate a damaged motor or a loose connection.
Do I leave the cpap machine on while running so clean machine?
Hi Hope,
No, the cpap machine should be off while running the SoClean
Do you leave the water in the humidifier or pour it out when you are using the so clean?
Hi Angela,
It is best to remove all the humidifier water.
When using my SoClean I develop a skin irritation where the mask seals around my face. Has this been reported before?
Hi Bruce,
It could be a reaction to the ozone. Please stop using the SoClean for a time to see if they irritation goes away. Then reintroduce to see if things have changed.
It has been said that Ozone destroys natural rubber products. Is this a concern with this machine? How much Ozone is generated in this machine?
Hi Dan, SoClean does not generate enough Ozone to break down the mask materials.
After the 10 or 12 minutes treatment may I immediately use my mask or should I use leave it in for a period of time?
Hi Richard,
Correct. After the treatment is complete, the mask is ready to use
What is the cost??
Hi Helen,
It’s best to check by clicking the link here: https://www.thecpapshop.com/soclean-2-cpap-sanitizing-machine because sometimes we are able to run specials on the SoClean2.
I use the so clean but have never changed the filter in it.
I also never cleaned my humidifier and was developing severe sinus problems. Finally looked at my CPAP and it looked like sewer water. I had to take a Z pack treatment and am finally OK.
Can someone call me and explain what I should be doing and how often?

Before the first use, use two capfuls of the included pre-wash with a gallon of water to wash your CPAP equipment (mask, hose, and reservoir), then rinse thoroughly with clean water. The SoClean: check valve assembly, and filter cartridge should be replaced every 6 months. A reminder message on the display will appear after approximately 6 months, depending upon usage.
My wife and I both have CPAP machines can I clean both machines in one day, or do I have to buy 2 SoClean, that would be quite e pensive
Hi Tony, you can purchase 1 SoClean for both machines, however depending on which machines you have you may require different adapters. You would have to change out the adapters for each cleaning.
