How often do you clean or change your mask? Well for me I keep plenty of masks in rotation and I wear a clean mask everyday. To ensure that all my masks stay clean, I have designated a mask wash day- just like laundry day.
If you have seen the recent news, cases of COVID-19 have surged in Michigan. Good people, we can not afford to go back. Wearing a mask and socially distancing ourselves is how we are going to slow spread of the virus. There may be a lot of controversy over wearing a mask, but I would rather wear a mask then to be in the hospital on a ventilator. Michigan’s motto is Spread Hope, Not Covid and I want to do just that. So how do we adjust to our new norm?

Again, I do my part ! I wear my MASK everywhere I go. No excuses! To ensure I am not getting my family or friends sick I make sure I wear my mask anytime I am out and about. Michiganders are required to wear a mask in indoor spaces and crowded outdoor spaces. Masks and face coverings can help to reduce the spread by about 70%.
The next thing to think about is the cleanliness of your mask. Just like your hands, body and clothes: it is important that you keep your mask clean.

Please Note: Never Wash a disposable mask. Please discard those masks in the waste basket. Not on the ground!!
How To Clean Your Mask?
If you’re hand washing your mask..
I prefer to hand wash my mask. I have a lot of different masks for different occasions. Some with rhinestones and pretty design. To ensure the integrity I hand wash those masks.
1: Prepare the Solution: I mix baby wash and antibacterial soap alongside warm water. I mix that together to I get nice foam!
2: I dip my mask inside the solution and I scrub scrub scrub !
3: After scrubbing I let my mask sit in the solution for 3 minutes.
4: Rinse my mask in room temperature water.
5: Let the mask air dry or throw them in your dryer.
If you’re washing your mask in machine..
If you are also a person on the go, you definitely wash your mask in your regular laundry. Just make sure you are using the warmest water temperature for mask cloth material. I usually use the warmest temperature. In addition, I use my laundry detergent alongside the Lysol laundry sanitizer. After you wash you can air dry or throw them in the dryer 🙂
