Wearing a reusable face mask with a filter insert helps to protect you and the people around you. If you cough or sneeze, a mask will prevent many germs and particles from reaching others, and if someone coughs or sneezes around you, a properly worn mask will offer you some protection. Whether you need protection from the coronavirus, air pollution, or pollen, the Overlay Reusable Face Mask will empower you to breathe cleaner and healthier air.
We recommend you to have 3 masks for daily use. Wear one, wash one, dry one.
1. Wash the mask when you first receive it.
2. Insert a filter into the filter pocket layer of your mask.
3. Pull the earloops around your ears and adjust the toggles as necessary. Conform the nose bridge to your nose for a tight-seal.
4. Replace the filter, wash the cloth mask after use, and let it dry completely before the next use.
Mix warm fresh water and a mild laundry detergent in a basin. Immerse the mask and soak for 30 minutes. Rinse gently with fresh water, then place the mask between a towel to remove excess moisture. Hang dry. Wash separately.
