Additional CDC Recommendations:

Wear cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies).

Cloth face coverings should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.

Cloth face coverings are not replacements for surgical masks or N-95 respirators. Those are critical supplies that must continue to be reserved for healthcare workers and other medical first responders, as recommended by current CDC guidance.

How to care for mask:

You need not wash the mask frequently. Hand wash by rinsing outer and inner layer with water.  Add a drop of liquid soap and gently rub around inner and outer layer.  Rinse again and hang to fully dry before storage in a cool, dry place.

For filtered mask:

Follow the above steps but wash the mask only when you wish to clean the outer and inner layer. Washing the mask does not clear the filter media of microscopic particles. The valve is permanently attached to the mask. Rinsing the valve will clear it of microscopic dust and particles. For maximum cleanliness, respirator users should wash their hands before putting on a respirator and after taking one off.

Daily Maintenance:

You may use alcohol wipes >61% or alcohol spray without affecting filtering efficiency. Air dry or expose to sunlight. Overwashing eventually may affect integrity of the mask.
