Honest talk about SoClean and Lumin Sanitization Machines

There has been so much controversy out there regarding these sanitization machines.  They are great units to help sanitize your CPAP equipment.  The biggest misconception that people have is they consider these machines as “cleaners”.  When in reality they are really not cleaners, but sanitizers.  One should still clean their equipment and then use one of these machines to sanitize their equipment afterwards.  These sanitation machines are not built like a dishwasher, where the machine washes away any dirt and grime that has built up and then sanitizes at the end of the cleaning cycle.  Part of having a CPAP machine involves routine cleaning, and if one does not do this on a regular basis you could possibly be harming your health rather than improving it.
