3 expert-approved easy ways to disinfect your DIY face mask

Most of the pharmacies don't have masks and sanitizers at this time. If you don't have a sanitizer, you still have the option of washing hands with soap and water. But what about when you don't have a mask? The best option is to make your own.

But how many times you should use a DIY mask? How frequently should you disinfect it? We tell you all.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the DIY masks should be washed at least once a day. Moreover, the surgical masks and N95 masks should be kept for people on the front line like hospital staff, police and other people involved in emergency services.

Here are three expert-approved ways to disinfect your DIY mask of COVID 19 virus
 
​Cleaning mask in the sink

If you do not have a washing machine, you can disinfect your mask in the kitchen sink. Fill a big bowl with hot water and dish soap. Soak in the face mask for at least five minutes. Let the mask get completely dry before you use it again.
 
​Cleaning mask in a washing machine

If you have a washing machine at home, regular washing and drying can do the job of sanitizing your mask. Put your mask in a bag before putting it in the machine, so that the elastic doesn't get loose. Use laundry detergent and hot water. Dry it in the dryer on a high-temperature setting.
 
​Cleaning the mask in the oven
If you have a non-inflammable mask and are a bit lazy, you can disinfect the mask with dry heat. Put the mask in the oven at 158 degrees or iron it properly on medium heat. If you cleaning it in the oven, do it for 30 minutes.

Homemade Citrus Enzyme Cleaner and Scrub

So the idea of making my own enzyme cleaner was appealing for several reasons.

• It’s natural, environmentally-friendly, and non-toxic.
• It’s made from kitchen scraps!
• It’s 2 cleaners in one! A liquid spray, plus a powerful baking soda scrub.
• It’s effective!

Citrus Enzyme Cleaner

Ingredients:

• 300 g (or about 2 cups) lemon and/or orange scraps
• 100 g (or about 1/2 cup) brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon yeast
• 2-liter plastic bottle
• 1 liter water

Start by pouring the brown sugar into the 2-liter plastic bottle. I used a straw to get the brown sugar through a funnel.

Cut the lemon and orange scraps into pieces small enough to fit the mouth of the bottle. Put them in the bottle and then add the yeast.

Next, add one liter of tap water into the bottle. Tightly screw the cap and dissolve the sugar by shaking the bottle for about 30 seconds. For the next couple of weeks, you’ll give the bottle a shake once a day, making sure to leave the bottle cap loosely fastened to avoid gas build-up (ie. Explosions!) from the fermentation process.

 

When you’ve finished adding and dissolving the ingredients, write the date on the bottle. It will take two weeks for the ingredients to ferment (or three months if you leave out the yeast).

When the cleaner is ready, start by straining the liquid enzyme cleaner into a bowl and set it aside for later. After straining, take the pulpy stuff left over, throw it in the Blendtec, and pulse until it’s nice and slushy (you could also use a food processor) to make your cleaning scrub.

Next add some baking soda and continue to pulse the Blendtec until it forms a nice, thick paste. I ended up adding about 1 1/2 cups of baking soda total, but that amount will depend on how much slush you have in the first place. Just add about a half cup at a time until it’s a good consistency. Then put the concoction in a lidded container and start cleaning!
