FACE MASKS: Washing and Fogging
Americans are venturing outdoors. But wearing a mask is not as simple as Grey’s Anatomy makes it seem.
Two common questions are answered by medical experts:
FOGGING: Sunglasses get steamed up because your breath escapes from around the nose. Either adjust the mask for a snug fit. Or wash your lenses with dish soap. The anti-streaking ingredients in ordinary dish soap prevents fogging.
WASHING: Homemade masks must be laundered. How often depends. Consider washing your mask as often as you do the laundry. Alternatively, wash by hand and air dry your mask.
