<p>I'm not aware of finance, and we at the Hope2Sleep Charity certainly couldn't offer this unfortunately. However, if you have a Paypal account then you can apply for Paypal Credit which is offered for products over £150 I think.

<p>Hi Kath</p>

<p>In relation to the Soclean do you know if any finance is available to purchase one of these machines? I do not mind spending that amount on one but would be very helpful especially this time of year to purchase one on a finance agreement. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Kath Hope said:</cite></p>

<p>The SoClean isn't an essential item, but very helpful for people vulnerable to respiratory infections, which we've been told of time and time again by people. It definitely won't help with the dry mouth (if that's what you was meaning) and definitely certain medications exacerbate this.

<p>Thanks for supporting our charity with your order Andy, and they'll be sent out tomorrow. I love the Beaumont Citrus Wipes and have tried all the others, and these are definitely the best. I use them everyday. Hope you find the Xylimelts help and just be patient in trying out where the best place in your mouth is for them. I only use 1 disc but some people need 2. Try 1 first and don't be tempted to wiggle your tongue on it until it's stuck lol …<img src="http://www.bkserv.net/images/Grin.gif"></img></p>

<p>Thank you for quick reply. The advert was on TV again this afternoon with a web address that links to an Amazon site. After a bit of research I have found a UK seller for £245 with 30 day return. Still not convinced so called my Respiratory Lab who had not heard of this device and didn't think it would be something available via NHS. </p>

<p>My main concern is that I wake up with a very dry mouth. Have tried adjusting the temperature on the humidifier and even switched it off. It maybe my medication that causes this and I will mention it again to my GP.

<p>I still haven't seen the advert Andy, but lots of people are contacting us about purchasing. First and foremost, whether with the SoClean or not, it is important to keep our equipment cleaned.

<p>I still haven't seen the advert Andy, but lots of people are contacting us about purchasing. First and foremost, whether with the SoClean or not, it is important to keep our equipment cleaned. You're doing the right thing cleaning your mask daily - especially ensuring you get rid of facial oils which can cause leaks and skin irritation if not removed. Also tipping out the remaining water from the humidifier and rinsing it daily is correct. It's also advisable to clean the hose weekly - a soak in soapy water is fine. If you get a cold or infection, then it's advisable to clean the hose more often - possibly with something stronger like Milton sterilising tablets or solution and perhaps a quick dunk of the mask in this too. However, it is NOT recommended to use this type of solution longterm and is will damage the cushion.<br/><br/>You always get the truth of us at the charity, and despite selling the SoClean (and using it myself) I would advise that if you're vulnerable to respiratory infections then it is worth laying out the cost of the SoClean. I'm glad I use it myself, but we do not promote it heavily as we are mindful that not everyone can afford this. If you can, then it's worth considering though.</p> Oh dear.

My mask gets a daily wipe and I rinse and change the water in the humidifier tank. Do I need to start a ritual clean of my system including hose? (the hose is replaced yearly). Is there a cheaper alternative to SoClean or do I just bite the bullet and have a cleaner sleep?</p>
