The Benefits of Cloth Masks (so you can be glad of them!):

Studies have found cotton to be a good compromise of features - it's stretchy enough to easily form a good face seal, and able to much reduce the transmission of respiratory droplets that carry the virus. This will be beneficial to you and the people around you.

This single-layer face cover will be better than nothing if used properly. But use this as a stopgap until it's possible to obtain a better mask - a more substantial homemade mask, or something commercially produced.

Make two of these masks, so you can wash one while you wear the other. Wash them daily.

Try not to adjust the mask too often – not only could the virus build up on your mask and contaminate your hands, but your hands could transfer the virus from a surface to your mask and face – so you must touch it as little as possible. When removing the mask, do so by touching the straps, and put it straight in the washer, then wash your hands thoroughly before touching anything else.

Until it’s been washed, keep track of which side of the covering is the inside and the outside – you do not want to flip it during the day and put the outside of your cover against your mouth and nose. Mark or write on one side to keep track of the outside.

New video! How to turn 1 mask into 10! The process only uses household materials, and the new masks have the same filter rating as the original.

It also uses an exhale valve I haven't seen anywhere else - and it's covered by cotton to protect others, don't worry :)

So I'm very proud of this one!

And thanks so much to you two who liked my page - I'm very grateful for the support. Feel free to like/subscribe/share the youtube video, but you've done enough already, so just have a great day and enjoy the video!
