How to Clean Your Oxygen Concentrator’s Humidifier Bottle

Your humidifier bottle helps reduce dryness during oxygen therapy—but only if it’s kept clean. A dirty bottle can harbor bacteria, mold, and minerals that compromise both your comfort and safety.

Luckily, cleaning it is simple. Here's how you do it 👇

🧼 Daily Quick Rinse (Every 24 Hours)

• 🚰 Empty any remaining water from the bottle.
• 💧 Rinse with warm water (not hot) for 30 seconds.
• 🧻 Air dry upside-down on a clean paper towel.

🧽 Weekly Deep Clean (Once a Week)

1. Mix a cleaning solution: 1 part white vinegar + 3 parts warm water.
2. Fill the bottle and let it soak for 20–30 minutes.
3. Use a soft bottle brush to scrub the inside gently.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water until vinegar smell disappears.
5. Air dry completely before refilling with distilled water.

✅ Tip: Don’t use bleach or harsh chemicals—they may leave harmful residue.

🛑 Warning Signs You Need a New Bottle

• Cloudy or discolored plastic
• Persistent odor, even after cleaning
• Cracks, leaks, or loose threading

Most users replace their humidifier bottle every 1–3 months, or sooner if damage is noticed.
