Can this type of mask be hand washed with antibacterial dish soap , then air dry and be used multiple times ??

Question

It is KN 95 mask, I do not have the luxury of money to use them once or twice and keep buying new ones.

A Hunch · Answer

If the KN95 mask is physically dirty, it needs to be thrown away.
If you want to keep is sanitized, you put it in a brown paper bag for a week before re-use.

It it doesn't get physically dirty it can be re-used up to 20 times.

Yes. I hand wash mine in a bit of laundry detergent and hot water.

I don't know, I've only used about five masks in the last year, and only changed them because the straps broke. I totally disagree with this whole thing. And no I haven't caught covid.

Probably not going to hold up too well.

I have a Nurse friend who purchased a UV Phone Sanitizer from Amazon for like 10.00 and she puts her mask in that….for a half hour.
