It should be noted that do not rub hard, because if the warp and weft gap of the gauze is too large, it will lose its anti-dropping effect.

2. Disinfection. Soak the cleaned mask in 2% peracetic acid solution for 30 minutes or boil it in boiling water for 20 minutes or steam it in a steamer for 15 minutes, and then dry it for later use. This method is suitable for gauze masks and bowl-shaped masks.
