Why choose Washable Face Masks?
Why choose to wear washable face masks? Washable Face Masks are not only good to your face they are also kind to the planet. As we continue to navigate through the challenges of COVID-19 it remains important in certain states like Victoria to be wearing PPE face masks to ensure community transmission of the virus is reduced to an acceptable level.
How do washable face masks compare to disposable face masks?
Options for face masks include disposable, disposable N95 and reusable washable face masks. As the pandemic continues the use of disposable masks can become both annoying and expensive as Health Authorities recommend that people don’t wear a disposable mask longer than 4 hours before changing to a new one. With some retailers in Victoria now selling N95 masks for $4.95 each, a change of 2-3 masks per day can become an expensive day. As a result, many Victorians and Australians have been opting for Australian Made reusable and washable face masks in an effort to support local businesses. This also helps reduce the amount of additional land fill waste created during this period from disposable face masks. Medical experts have commented that their research has shown that cloth reusable washable face masks are the second most effective face masks for protecting people from contracting COVID-19.
