Single-use Surgical Mask A single-use Surgical
Mask cannot be washed, disinfected, or reused. As
soon as you put on these Medical masks and take
it off, you should throw it in a garbage
can.  Thus, you do not have to remove it to put
it back on afterward, or pass it under the chin
or even hang it on one ear. As soon as you do one
of these gestures, your mask becomes
unusable.  You have to remove it, throw it in a
trash can and put in a new one. Why? Because the
moment you put on a face mask, it is potentially
contaminated. If you touch it or use it again,
you can infect yourself or spread the virus

No more than 4 hours use of Surgical
mask Likewise, a disposable Surgical Mask cannot
be worn for more than 4 hours. After wearing it
for 4 hours, you need to throw it in a trash can
and put a new one.  But you may have read that
there are technical solutions to disinfect your
mask in an oven, in the microwave, with UV rays?
Be aware that health authorities do not validate
these assumptions.  None of these options are
satisfactory for disinfecting Medical masks for
reuse. The only thing to do after wearing a
disposable surgical mask is to throw it in the
trash

• What not to do with a Surgical mask
• Stanford medical school tried to disinfect masks
  by putting them in a 70 oven for 30 minutes. The
  mask is indeed disinfected. But the problem is,
  this is a special oven. Nothing to do with the
  one we use in our kitchens! You should not
  therefore reproduce this experience at home. It
  is ineffective, even dangerous. 
• Same observation with a microwave oven. But we do
  not know how long it should be left in the
  microwave to have an effective result. 
• Also, the Surgical Mask contains a small metal
  bar. And we know that the microwave and metal do
  not mix. Enough to create sparks explode his oven
  and ultimately render his mask unusable! So this
  option is not valid.

• - Can UV rays be a solution? The answer is always
  no! Because after being exposed to UV, masks
  become ineffective they lose their ability to
  filter viruses. 
• Suddenly, they are no longer useful. Not to
  mention that we do not have a UV machine at
  home! 
• How about washing them with alcohol? Again,
  disinfecting them with alcohol may eliminate
  viruses. 
• But this damages the masks which lose their
  ability to filter. Also, alcohol and bleach
  vapors remain on the masks even after several
  washes. And breathing in the vapors of these
  chemicals is toxic! The only solution is
  therefore to throw away your Medical masks or
  FFP2 after having used it once

Which types of mask that can be reused?  Only
the cloth face masks are reusable. If you are
wearing a cloth mask, then you can reuse it
multiple times. It is still necessary to have
cleaned and disinfected it correctly after having
used it.  Find out how to do it here. You don't
have a cloth mask? Don't panic, here is the
tutorial to make one easily without a sewing
machine. And even easier, you can visit
