If you suffer from sleep apnea and rely on CPAP therapy, it’s important to keep the machine clean – especially if you travel frequently. A clean CPAP machine is essential to keep up the machine’s performance. However, traveling usually comes with various challenges – from maintaining hygiene when traveling to getting consistent power sources.
