runnyeyes May 2020 1:07pm, 14 May 2020 1,672 posts	Quote Pin runnyeyes What is everyone thinking about laundering these fabric face masks? If it’s used for shopping etc ( not work obv) Do I need a fabric that will take 60 deg wash? Boil wash? Any thoughts? Sorry if this is an old question!

fraggle May 2020 1:09pm, 14 May 2020 2,260 posts	Quote Pin fraggle I would wash it at at least 60 degrees, best made of 100% cotton fabric
Meglet May 2020 1:14pm, 14 May 2020 21,010 posts	Quote Pin Meglet I’m just going to put mine in with the normal wash
Velociraptor May 2020 1:15pm, 14 May 2020 46,518 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor I'll be putting mine in the mixed wash at 40 degrees.
sallykate May 2020 1:56pm, 14 May 2020 6,396 posts	Quote Pin sallykate If washing with soap for 20 seconds (regardless of temperature) is enough for our hands I don't see the need to wash them in anything hotter than 40 degrees.
fraggle May 2020 3:14pm, 14 May 2020 2,261 posts	Quote Pin fraggle §i just do them at 60 as thats what I do with towels and bedding
fraggle May 2020 3:14pm, 14 May 2020 2,262 posts	Quote Pin fraggle theres probably no logic to it though
EvilPixie May 2020 3:18pm, 14 May 2020 17,467 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie i do towels and bedding at 60 everything else at 40 no idea why I've just always done it!
