How do you clean a Cambridge Mask?


Keeping your face mask clean is important and washing your mask is one way to do so. We advise you to wash your Cambridge Mask by hand. If you machine wash your mask, its condition may be affected and it may become less efficient. Use warm water and washing soda to keep your mask in good condition.

It is important to avoid machine drying as well as machine washing as both can damage the filters and prevent the mask from working properly.

Gently massage the Cambridge Mask with washing soda and warm water then rinse it thoroughly. Once you have washed your Cambridge Mask, you can hang dry it. By washing your mask you are ensuring the removal of excess dirt, dust and makeup from your mask – all the nitty gritty elements we DON’T want!

Please avoid washing your mask in boiling water or place it in a microwave as this can be incredibly dangerous due the small metal component included within the mask.

Can mask filters be washed?


The filter itself cannot be cleaned as it is sewn into the mask itself, but hand-washing will remove any excess dirt or build up of residue such as make up or sweat.

Stay safe

Your Cambridge Mask can dramatically reduce your chances of contracting a respiratory infection and is ideal for use in public.
