The materials used in the masks are chosen to be non-absorbent (like the medical masks) and will not hold moisture against the skin. This is important for hygiene reasons.
The masks have a distinctive inverted “V” shape. Be sure to fit your mask correctly by placing the point of the “V” on the bridge of your nose, hook the straps over your ears and pull the lower edge of the mask under your chin. The mask should fit snugly around the edges with no opening. Tighten the ear straps by knotting to adjust and personalize the fit for your face. When worn, the mask should be comfortable but close to the face.
Your Mzansi Masks are washable and reusable. We recommend a 30 degree machine wash and line dry. The product is not designed to withstand bleach but may be disinfected if necessary.
For maximum hygiene and health, we recommend replacing with a clean mask after each use.
When removing the mask from your face, be sure not to touch the fabric, but remove holding the elastic ear straps and place directly into the washing machine.
Wash your hands directly after handling a used mask or use our sanitiser to disinfect.
You should replace the mask when the lining becomes worn, torn or discoloured.
