Put your face covering in your washing machine with similar materials so that it does not get damaged. Prior to putting your covering in your machine check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/the-basics-laundry-symbol-guide\/\">care label<\/a> to see what the highest appropriate temperature is. There is no need to buy a specific laundry detergent, whatever brand you usually use is completely fine. Once you have inserted your face covering with your other laundry items and inserted the detergent, set your washing machine to the highest appropriate temperature, and wait for your cycle to finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/white-washing.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/white-washing.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/white-washing.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/white-washing.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/white-washing.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/white-washing.jpg?resize=2048%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/white-washing.jpg?resize=292%2C164&amp;ssl=1 292w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.laundryheap.com/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/white-washing.jpg?w=2580&amp;ssl=1 2580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">How do you hand wash a face covering?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your face covering is made from a particularly delicate material it may be best to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laundryheap.com\/blog\/how-to-hand-wash-clothes\/\">hand wash <\/a>it. If this is the case, all you need is laundry detergent and warm water. Pour a decent amount of laundry detergent onto your mask and use some warm water and a scrubbing motion to make the material soapy.
