Washing my Headgear
Can I harm my headgear if I remove the clips, wash it by hand, then put it in nylon bag and run it through a waterless spin/extraction cycle. Then hang to dry.

I've found the easiest way was to loop it over my shower curtain rail and let the ends hang down over the bath. The radiator in my bathroom ensures it dries quite quickly, as do my mask parts when placed on a towel over the radiator. An hour or so is usually sufficient. Hope that helps

How do you get the tubing to dry, I've tried all kinds of things. Thanks.

I periodically soak and rinse all mask parts and hosing in soapy water. I like to use Dr. Bronner's castile liquid soap with tea tree oil for it's natural disinfectant properties. I have found that hanging the long hose to dry takes more than 24 hours for all the little droplets to dry up, so I alternate hoses after the washing. I like having the spare hose available to switch out whenever I feel the need. I wash the part of the mask that touches my face/nose daily with the same soap, and for the Swift FX and Swift Lt for her nasal pillows, I use a q tip to dry between the thin layers of the nasal pilows that are almost invisible, to make sure no water droplets are hiding in there to grow bacteria.
