Please share this EVERYWHERE! Very effective way to make masks of any kind reusable. Any Mods, how about a pin for something that is huge!

I 1st posted this on March 6th. But now I'm seeing examples nationwide of healthcare workers being told to reuse masks because there is just not enough of them!

I found this incredible study/experiment in February while trying to find a way to make the N95 mask I bought reusable, & this is it!

I want this to go viral & get it into the hands of our nurses, docs nationwide..Please share it anyway you can!


The study: "A reusable virus deactivation system by functionalization of the main fibrous filtration unit of surgical mask with sodium chloride salt. The salt coating on the fiber surface dissolves upon exposure to virus aerosols and recrystallizes during drying, destroying the pathogens. When tested with tightly sealed sides, salt-coated filters showed remarkably higher filtration efficiency than conventional mask filtration layer, and a 100% SURVIVAL RATE was observed in mice"

Salt-coated filters proved highly effective in deactivating influenza viruses regardless of subtypes and following storage in harsh environmental conditions. Our results can be applied in obtaining a broad-spectrum, airborne pathogen prevention device in preparation for epidemic and pandemic of respiratory diseases.

The process I developed to make my masks reusable, but it can be applied to any mask! In the study they just used surgical masks.

Ingredients/process:1st the ingredients: N95 or whatever kind of mask you can get, 1 MERV 13 hvac filter (One of the highest rated Hvac filters you can buy), non-iodized salt, polysorbate 20 ( food safe binding agent)

Cut the hvac filter into strips wide enough for your mask

For 1 mask & filter: 100mi(3.4oz) water, add 29 grams((1.02 oz) salt (non-ionized) Bring to just below a boil on the stove Dissolve until cool, add 1/4 teaspoon polysorbate 20(binding agent), mix well.

When it cools, pour solution into spray bottle, spray hvac filter until wet on both sides, dry overnight.

Affix the MERV 13 filter onto N95 mask or whatever kind of mask you have I'm using hot clue(I'm sure there is a better way to do this)
