    KN95 masks are designed to be disposable, which means they are not intended to be reused. These masks are made of multiple layers of non-woven fabric, which can become contaminated with particles, droplets, and other substances that may be harmful to the wearer. Reusing a KN95 mask can potentially increase the risk of infection and may compromise the effectiveness of the mask.


    However, there are some situations where face masks reusable may be necessary, such as during a shortage of masks. In these cases, the mask should be properly disinfected and stored in a clean, dry place after each use. Some methods of disinfection that may be effective include using UV light, heating the mask in an oven, or treating the mask with hydrogen peroxide.


    It's important to note that even with proper disinfection and storage, the effectiveness of a KN95 mask may decrease over time and with repeated use. For maximum protection, it's recommended to use a new KN95 mask each time it is needed.
