How To Keep Your COVID-19 Face Mask Clean
Description
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend wearing a cloth face-covering in public to prevent spreading COVID-19.
In fact, wearing one is mandatory in cities like New York and San Francisco.
According to Business Insider, it's important to keep your mask clean in order to maximize its effectiveness.
Be sure to have several masks on hand that can be rotated out, so a clean one is always available.
Cloth masks can be machine or hand-washed. Be sure to use a heavy-duty detergent like Persil or Tide.
However, disposable masks made from non-woven fibers, KN95, and N95 masks cannot be safely cleaned at home.
The CDC says if you have a KN95 or N95 mask, they can be worn up to five times by the same person.
