When taking your face covering off do not touch the front of it or the section that has been touching your nose and mouth. Instead, remove your covering using the ties around your head. Once removed, immediately place it in a plastic bag until you are able to wash it. If your covering has touched any surface, you must disinfect those surfaces immediately. To best ensure that your face covering is rid of bacteria, wash it in your washing machine after every use on a hot wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your face covering has been hand-stitched it may be better to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/blog\/how-to-hand-wash-clothes\/\"> hand wash<\/a> to avoid it potentially falling apart in the washing machine. If you are hand-washing, lather the fabric in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.co.uk\/blog\/choosing-the-right-laundry-detergent\/\">laundry detergent <\/a>and scrub it for at least 20 seconds. Rinse with warm to hot water, and either leave to dry or use the hottest setting on your tumble dryer.\u00a0 Once dried, iron your face covering. The heat from the iron will kill any residing bacteria and reduce your risk of contracting a bacterial respiratory infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3804\" height=\"2140\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/blog.laundryheap.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330.jpg?fit=611%2C344&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5183\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330.jpg?w=3804&amp;ssl=1 3804w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/@shvetsa?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Anna Shvets<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/woman-in-mask-holding-toilet-paper-3962330\/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=pexels\">Pexels<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We want to ensure that our drivers and customers remain safe during COVID19.
