The Health Ministry of Spain has recently published the following official guideline to desinfect and reuse of hygenic masks:

  1. Wash and disinfect the masks with normal detergent and warm water with temperature between 60º-90º (normal washing machine cycle).
  2. Soak the masks in a bleach dilluted with warm water with the proportion of 1:50 for 30 minutes. Then wash with soap and water and rinse well to remove any remaining bleach. Then let the masks dry.
