Do You Know The Correct Way To Clean And Maintain A Complete Set Of Gauze Masks?

Gauze masks are different from anti-smog masks or masks. Gauze masks can be reused after cleaning and maintenance. Mastering the correct cleaning and maintenance methods of gauze masks can prolong the use of gauze masks while maintaining the protective performance of gauze masks.

A complete set of cleaning and maintenance procedures for gauze masks includes three parts: mask clearing, mask disinfection, and mask inspection after cleaning and maintenance.

1. Cleaning

First, rub the gauze mask gently with warm water and soap. The bowl-shaped mask can be gently cleaned with a soft brush dipped in detergent, and then rinsed with clean water. Please be careful not to rub the gauze mask hard, because if the warp and weft gap of the gauze is too large, it will lose its anti-droplet effect.

2. Disinfection

Soak the cleaned gauze mask in a 2% peracetic acid solution for 30 minutes or boil it in boiling water for 20 minutes or steam it in a steamer for 15 minutes, and then dry it for later use. This method is suitable for gauze masks and bowl-shaped masks.

3. Check

Before using it again, you should carefully check whether the gauze mask is still in good condition. For gauze masks, you can take the light transmission inspection method, that is, take the light in front of the light to see if there are obvious light spots and whether the light transmittance of the middle part and the edge part is right Consistent if in doubt, replace with a new gauze mask.

In any case, gauze masks generally need to be replaced after cleaning 3 to 7 times, and gauze masks of particularly good quality can be cleaned 10 times. For gauze masks of the activated carbon mask type, pay attention to the regular replacement of the activated carbon interlayer. If the activated carbon interlayer is not replaceable, it must be replaced after 7 to 14 days. This type of gauze mask cannot be cleaned and reused.
