Disposable Masks

Did you know that disposable masks can be washed?

A disposable surgical mask washed up to 10 times is at least as effective as a cloth mask, according to a fresh study by the Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT which looked at cleaning of protective face masks under normal home conditions. Among the findings was that cloth masks are best cleaned at home by boiling for at least five minutes. Machine washing at 60 degrees Celsius was the second best way to clean cloth masks for reuse. Disposal masks can withstand up to ten washes by boiling or in a washing machine, the study says. However, washing degrades the small particle filtering capacity of disposable masks. It is not recommended that masks intended for use in a professional setting be home washed for reuse.
