Sterilizing Masks for Re Use

This is from the top.

Masks should be placed in an oven.
Hung in such a way that no part of
the mask comes into contact with
any metal surface of the oven.
I.E. Remove all oven racks except for
the top one, and hang masks from top
rack by clip,clothespin,twist tie,etc.

Bake at 150-170 degrees Fahrenheit
for 20 minutes.

This is the recommendation that I
received.

I will try to find out max temp/time
formula a.s.a.p.

This is suggested information only.

I would think that might # up the rubber straps.

I was told soak them in strong saline solution, let them dry and no need for changing them or re sterilizing them. The salt deactivates the virus

My daughter who is an ICU nurse is bagging them in bags numbered 1-30 and rotating. 30 days+ should be long enough for the virus to die.

God I hope so.

a reply to: Wildmanimal

Sounds like your making jerky.

Is Lysol spray ineffective in killing the virus?

a reply to: visitedbythem

Hence, do not let the rubber straps
contact any metal surface of the oven.

Yes, time strangulation works.
But this thread is suggestive only
for those who do not have time
as a factor in the equation.

This is info from Colombia/3M
contacts of mine.

Not that I am aware of.
But remember this,
Heath Practitioners
in level 2 & 3 Bio Suits
were still getting infected.

I think that was due to secondary
surface contact.
At least I hope it can be traced to that.
Otherwise, Drink and be Merry for
tomorrow we die.

a reply to: PhilbertDezineck

As a matter of fact,
it is exactly like that.

Do you have a good recipe?

You beat me to the rubber straps. That is the first thing I thought of when I was reading it.

Not for a home oven I used excalpore driers use to do a box of eye of round a week. The eye cut long wise made the best meat.

a reply to: PhilbertDezineck

Could you expand on that type of curing?
A link maybe?
I always used beef flank cuts or
Deer shanks for dried meat.

a reply to: Wildmanimal
Secondary surfaces and their telling us to wipe everything down.

All mine were home recopies soaking for two days drying for two days.

Look, if I am infected,
and I walk into your local
grocery store and sneeze,cough,
or handle items after picking a
green booger shnot out of my
nose, and then you walk in and
pick up the box of donuts that I
just goobed on, well now you have it on
your hands.
Not to mention that your unprotected eyes
just walked through my invisible
vapor cloud that I sneezed out that will float
around for the next 3 hours.
SAVVY?

Yum yum.
Dried meat was
good enough for Davy Crockett.
It is good enough for me.

The original post was speaking of health care workers be infected by secondary surfaces.

a reply to: PhilbertDezineck

Very Well.
I just hope you don't
catch my drift.

I soak them in a strong bleach and water mix for 24 hours.

Then I rinse them well and immediately dry them.

I used the hairdryer but I think I'll put them on top of the heater instead next time.
