How to wash
reusable masks

CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies), especially in areas of significant community-based transmission.

According to the CDC, Cloth face coverings should be washed after each use. 

Please follow the guidelines below:

• 

  Regular laundry detergent works fine with hot water and no bleach

• 

  Machine dry in gentle cycles or air-dry so the loops do not get damaged

• 

  If you don’t have access to a washing machine, then hand-wash your mask the same way you would wash delicates

  First, wet the mask and rub with soap until you see the soap lather.
  
  Then, soak the mask in hot water and soap for 30 minutes.
  
  Finally, rinse and machine dry or air dry by placing it on a sanitized surface.
