How Long Do Face Masks Last?
Types of Face Masks
The most important factor in figuring out how long your face mask will last: what kind of face mask do I have?
We offer two kinds of face masks at StringKing, reusable cloth face masks and disposable 3-layer face masks. They're very easy to tell apart, but it's crucial you know which one you have so you can know how to use your mask safely and properly. You can visit each product page for more specific information about the types of masks we make.
How Long Do Cloth Face Masks Last?
Our reusable cloth face masks are a great choice for anyone who needs to repeatedly wear a mask for longer periods of time - like a full day of work or regular daily activities. They're made with two layers of premium, American-grown Supima cotton and either stretchable elastic or adjustable ear loops. These masks are made to be washed and reworn multiple times. If you follow our recommended care instructions, your cloth face mask should hold up through more than 30 cycles in a standard wash and tumble dry.
How Long Do Disposable Face Masks Last?
Our disposable 3-layer face masks are made overseas at a StringKing manufacturing facility using the highest quality materials available. All masks go through rigorous production and quality control standards at the time they're produced and throughout the process before final shipment to the customer. Our 3-layer face masks are intended for a single use. As soon as you put on your face mask, it has become potentially contaminated and should be properly disposed of at the next opportunity. Disposable face masks should never be used more than once.
Can I Reuse My Face Mask?
Well, that all depends on which type of mask you have! Can I reuse my cloth face mask? Yes, as long as it is properly washed between uses. Can I reuse my 3-layer face mask? No! 3-Layer face masks are intended for a single use.
