Question 3

What does the mask filter?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

How should I wash the mask?

Accepted Answer

Remove the filter before washing the mask in cold soapy water. Wash the mask in a gentle motion. Rubbing the fabric too aggressively will damage the delicate lining and degrade the mask more quickly. Do not wring/twist the mask dry. Hold the mask under running water to remove the soap, then gently squeeze to release some of the water and line dry the mask in the sun. Allow to completely dry before re-use.

Question 5

How often should I wash my mask?

Accepted Answer

When to wash the mask depends on how much use the mask has been through. We understand it is not always practical to wash the mask after every wearing. Instead, we recommend gentle washing could be done once or twice a week with careful handling of the mask. Make sure to avoid touching the front of the mask and only touch the ear straps to wear and remove the mask. Please note that continuous washing over time will inevitably degrade the material quality, antibacterial and water repellent treatment.

Question 6

Can the masks be machine washed?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend gentle hand washing to prevent the nose strip from randomly bending with the potential of breaking in the washing machine. Dirty socks and underwear are generally thrown into the washing machine and bacteria can still be present. We don't recommend machine washing due to poor hygiene reasons. The mask should be as clean as possible to be worn on the face.
 
If you must use the machine wash your mask and accept the potential damage, they can be washed on a gentle cycle or delicate setting.

Question 7

How often do I have to change the filter?

We recommend disposing the filter after 24 hrs of use under heavily polluted conditions as the safest practice. Short intermittent use for example 3-4 hrs a day, would require disposal after 1 week. Filters are required to be disposed of after use. Please do not wash and reuse filters.

Question 8
