Disinfecting N95 and Surgical Masks - The Right Way!

but it has to be the high frequency UV souces.

the low frequency UV isn't very effective.

or you could just wear a bandana over it and wash the bandana and then reuse the mask

I use my CPAP "SoClean" to clean my mask.

I put mine in a plastic bag and turn on my Ozone generator to fill the bag with at least 1 ppm O3. This will disinfect the mask. O3 is a better disinfection agent then CL2 Chlorine.
Make sire you let them air out before use so the O3 turns back to O2.

UV does the trick also

150 F for 30 minutes according to the article

You could do it outdoors if you were afraid of blowing germs into your house I suppose.

You would be guessing wrong.

Of course 3M is gonna say that.

In the article, Dr. Tsai reasons that the lower surface tension of alcohol compared to that of the charge holding polypropylene (PP) mask material allows the alcohol to soak into the PP and erase the electrostatic charge it holds. Water with a higher surface tension than the PP will not soak in and affect the charge.

Based on this reasoning, treating the mask with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) should not be a problem in regards to the charge. Hydrogen peroxide in water has a higher surface tension than water regardless of the concentration and will be even less likely to penetrate into the fabric and erase charge.

At room temperature the surface tension of…

Alcohol 20 dynes/cm
Mask PP 35 dynes/cm
Water 71.2 dynes/cm
3% H2O2 ~72.5 dynes/cm
30% H2O2 ~74 dynes/cm
100% H2O2 ~80.5 dynes/cm

So basically, based on the author’s reasoning, cleaning with hydrogen peroxide should not cause discharge inside the PP…

Because 65 C = (9 * 65)/5 + 32 = 149 F

I don't think Ecuador gets that hot

70 Celsius is 158f, so why the hell do they say warmer areas like Africa won't be as bad??

So putting it under a blow dryer then?

Don’t do it! Your blowing the virus all around your house.

Ozone gas applied to the mask seems like a better idea than high heat.

Nope, anything wet like a mist deforms the weave of the mask destroying it efficiency.
Even breath moisture damages the weave, that's why most good masks really should be changed hourly.

If you don't know something, you can "youtube it"
Not to would be just too low iq.

Here's what I mean...

30 minutes under an infrared lamp should do it or the dehydrator idea is great!!

Just put it outside in the sunshine for a day?! Maybe under glass in the sun for a couple of hours?

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^

I just use an Ultraviolet-C chamber. Bought it on Amazon for $99 a month ago. 10 minutes, done.

So can the mask be disinfected throwing it in the dryer?

"it is reported (if it is true) that COVID-19 cannot survive at 65C for 30 minutes"


If True???

Right. If you have a lot of sun like thankfully we do over here, just hang it out on a clothesline under the hot son for several days.

Good question. How hot does a dryer get?

You could put it in the oven at 150 for 30min?

What’s wrong with using a steamer on the mask ?

Won’t it catch fire ?

A: Do YOU have any research to back up the "Y" answer?

(beside the CDC lapdogs saying, "Oh, public citizens should not... not effective."

Try this:

Any where up to 98% effective against CV.

Even a cheap "surgical mask" rates around 60% effective,
although if I were a real "surgeon" I would sure as s***
want a better mask 8-)

And yes, if someone sneezes in you face and you don't also have eye protection, then you are still screwed...

What about ziplock bags and leaving in sunlight for a few hours?

YES!!! This is what I've been doing - also spray it up my nose and in my ears and eyes and all over my face and hands after I go out.
