  2. HEPA FILTER MATERIAL PROTECTS YOU BETTER! Use material from a vacuum cleaner bag or HVAC filter as at least one of your layers. Change to a new mask when damp. Remove masks by the ties without touching the front of the mask ( which is dirtiest). Drop the mask into a wide mouth jar, add boiling water , detergent and bleach, screw on the lid and shake to launder if you are going to re-use it. Allow the mask to drip dry. You can also wash store bought disposable masks including the N95 this way for multiple uses. Be careful not to contaminate surfaces with the worn masks and be aware that they will wear down eventually and filter less effectively. Washing and re-using masks is not ideal but is preferable to going around with a bare face trusting others to keep their distance.

  8.  @veryfrugalts  Don't know what the situation is in your area. Just checked, walmart.com has them. So should Amazon and probably Wish and all those online merchants. Dollar General and Dollar Tree usually have little sewing kits. Maybe call ahead and check.
