Guadalupe ~ Adult Mask w/ Filter Pocket
$24.00
Mask Details:
- Made to order in my one-woman shop. Mask will ship within 7 working days of purchase.
- One size, fits most adults.
- The fabric shown in this listing is the outer fabric of your mask. Tightly woven cotton pre-washed with hypoallergenic, fragrance-free laundry detergent.
- The lining fabric is cotton fabric randomly chosen from my stash – soft, pre-washed and comfortable against the skin.
- One pocket for a disposable filter of your choice.
- Top-stitched to stand up to repeated laundering.
- Wire nose insert creates a good seal.
- One elastic tie that secures around the neck and crown of the head. Due to variations in face size, you may need to cut and re-sew/safety pin the elastic to get a snug fit.
- Hand made in a clean sewing environment with freshly washed hands. Wash mask before use.
Please follow these mask use guidelines:
- Wearing a face mask is not a substitute for Sheltering in Place. Please continue to stay home as much as possible.
- The outside of the mask is “dirty” after you have worn it in public spaces.
- When removing the mask, do not touch the front of the mask; hold by the strings/elastic. Wash hands after removing your mask.
- Try not to fidget with mask on your face; wear it around home to get used to it.
- Don’t put dirty mask in your pocket or purse -- this can transfer the virus from the mask to your clean clothes or purse.
- Wash your mask (washing machine or hand laundry) after wearing. Water temperature doesn’t matter; it’s the soap that deactivates the virus.
- Fabric masks are not a substitute for surgical or N95 masks. For personal use only. Not eligible for return.
During this critical public health crisis, the CDC recommends wearing masks in public to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Used correctly, along with physical distancing measures and frequent hand washing, fabric masks help prevent droplet transmission. They are primarily intended to protect others in case you are infected but not showing symptoms.
I’m not a medical professional, but I’m doing my best to keep up with current science and public health news on the effectiveness of fabric masks.
