Can I Reuse Surgical Mask?
                     
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
