Making your Sleepweaver last longer

[Barely Awake]

Having just retired my first Sleepweaver after ten and a half months constant use I thought to pass this tip on as I have discovered that I did something to hasten its retirement.

Until a few weeks ago my wife washed my mask each day because (she says) I make a mess, and I only took over this task when she recently started her new job. It was in this period of my washing the mask that I started to have an unidentified large leak registering on my machine each night, which through software was revealed as climbing in strength.

Adopting a new replacement Sleepweaver the leak vanished. Needles to say I had not connected my washing of the mask with causing this leak, but it now appears to have been the case.

When washing I turned the mask inside out and after washing vigourously I wrung it out and hung it up - whereas washing more gently and allowing to drip dry allows the mask material to maintain its consistency.

The mask could then possibly have lasted 12 months or more... Doh!!!

Another way is to wash the mask less frequently, always use baby shampoo and be very very gentle with it.
Just the lightest swish around a basin with a tiny amount shampoo and warm water in it and a rince with plain tepid water, shake lightly to get excess water off and hang to dry
Make sure your face is clean every night and that way it can reduce the build-up of any grime.
