How often should I clean my cloth face mask? What about N95s? Health experts on the do's and don'ts. (via CNBCMakeIt)

. If you have a couple that's great. You can have one in the wash and a fresh one available," Sulmonte told TODAY.. Dr. Graham Snyder, the medical director of infection prevention and hospital epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, agrees with that advice. But he recognizes that people don't always clean their masks that often.

"You have to decide when it's likely to have gotten contaminated," he said. The more people you encounter, the more likely it is. Passing through a crowd, for example, is more likely to contaminate your mask than walking by a couple of people.for face mask care and how to clean your masks. Machine-wash cloth masks with the rest of your laundry at the highest temperature setting appropriate for the fabric used to make the mask.

Regardless of whether you machine- or hand-wash your mask, "it's important to inspect the mask after washing to make sure it is still intact," said Snyder.How should you store your face mask? He emphasized that it's important to keep a used mask by itself in a spot where it's not going to contaminate something in your house — don't throw it on your kitchen counter. And you don't want germs getting on your mask, either: "I wouldn't store them in a bathroom or throw them on top of a pile of mail."
