How to Clean Re-Usable Face Coverings

If you are using a reusable face covering, you really should be cleaning it each and every time that you wear it. A good rule to follow is that your face is as important if not more important than your genitals. Does the thought of wearing the same pair of underwear for more than a day gross you out? Then why would wearing a face covering for more than one outing seem OK? Each time you put on a face covering, it touches your mouth and nose, both of which are full of microbes. You may cough, sneeze, pant, spit, burp, sweat, run your nose, and release boogers while wearing the mask. At the same time, things in the air, including potentially viruses and a range of allergens, are being sucked into your face covering. Your face covering is in many ways like underwear for your face.

In order to wash your mask or other face covering, you are going to have to take it off. Standing in the shower with your face covering on is not the way to clean the covering. Before you remove your mask, wash your hands thoroughly and for at least 20 seconds. That means singing at least through the first chorus of the song “I Touch Myself.” This is just past the part that goes, “oh no, oh no, oh no.” If you don’t have access to soap and water to wash your hands, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that has at least 60% alcohol.
Once your hands are clean, remove the mask by touching the parts that rest on the back or side of your head like the ear loops or the ties and not the part that sits on your face. Remember, you are supposed to be protecting your face in general during this pandemic. Touching your face could introduce microbes to your mouth, nose, and eyes, three sliding doors leading to your respiratory system.

Once you remove the face covering, put it in a safe place in preparation for cleaning. This may be the laundry basket or a disposable bag. Do not put the face covering anywhere that may contaminate other things, like on the kitchen counter, on top of your salad, or on your significant other’s face. Your significant other will be very upset if you treat his or her face like a laundry basket. Dispose of any disposable filters that the face covering may have. These shouldn’t go through laundry. Otherwise, you may have filter fragments all over the rest of your garments. When your face covering is safely stored or in the laundry, wash your hands thoroughly again.
