Due to the pandemic of the new crown epidemic, everyone is wearing masks, personal protective products ，and even hoarding many masks at home for spare, therefore, the storage of masks is also crucial.
1. Storage environment
For most masks, we must ensure that they are dry. Wetness is definitely not acceptable. The storage environment temperature should not exceed 30 °C, should not be lower than -20 °C, and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%. Especially if it has been unpacked, it is best to put it in that kind of medical box.
2. Avoid touching water
As mentioned earlier, in a dry and humid environment, bacteria are prone to occur, and the mask will be affected. Disposable masks should not touch water, so the protective effect of the mask will be greatly reduced.
3. Times of use
Pay attention to the frequency and duration of use of masks. Most masks are disposable and can only be used once and cannot be reused.
4. Not washable
Ordinary cotton masks can be washed, but if it is a disposable mask, whether it is a medical mask or an ordinary civilian mask, it is recommended not to clean it, as it will affect the protective effect of the mask after cleaning. The types of masks are different. When we use them, we can first look at the instructions on the packaging.
