If using soap and water, I would just keep a spray bottle with a tiny amount of detergent or disinfectant mixed in water, You can mix the bottle after arriving. This gives you a good cleaning mix that should need little or no rinsing and would last for over a week per mix. Spray, wipe with a damp cloth and done. You can transport 3.4 oz of liquids on the plane. If you want to go all-pro buy Control III Disinfectant Concentrate in 2-oz bottle , it would be enough hospital grade disinfectant to last the whole trip. No need to rinse. A 2-Oz bottle will make up to 2-gallons of cleaning solution. I can't post the link because it is sold by DMEs like Direct Home Medical, Supplier #1, CPAPX and others. About $6 per 2-oz bottle.

Got it, thanks.
But honestly, seems easier to just buy the CPAP wipes you initially suggested. For three weeks, those should be fine, don't you think? I'd like to minimize what I have to do in the morning, and if i can get away with just wiping the nasal cushion and water tank down, that seems to be the best option.
Please do let me know if you think that would cause any isssues.
Thanks.

Make your life easy. Just putting out the ideas. Enjoy your trip and minimize any thoughts about CPAP cleaning. Control III is a hospital grade disinfectant and has its followers. I have never personally used it.
