What is the best way to clean cpap equipment?
I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea. I need advice for cleaning the CPAP. I don't have the equipment yet but I wanted advice from people with Bronchiectasis.

Thank you
I have the home vent and was told to wash the mask in warm soapy water. Not cpap more like a bipap I guess.
