All our washable masks have adjustable latex-free ear loops and fit into a pocket or handbag. They can be washed by hand in cool water.
This Honeycomb Mask reduces exposure to fragrances, particles, cigarette smoke, smog, dust, diesel fumes, and VOCs and household chemicals from 50% to 95% depending on the substance. It removes 99% of particles down to 1 micron. The mask is made up of a comfortable, porous outer layer which holds a disposable carbon filter. The carbon filter is effective for 20-40 hours of use. Replace it if it becomes hard to breathe or the smell or taste of pollution comes through. This will depend on what substances are being filtered out and also how sensitive you are. The Honeycomb Mask comes with one Activated Carbon Filter.
The mask contains nylon, polyester, cotton, hard plastic and latex-free elastic. The activated carbon is bound to a polyester support material with a synthetic latex which does not contain the protein of natural latex. The carbon filter insert is not washable and will need to be replaced.
"I just wanted to write to thank you for all your help with the honeycomb mask. Using the mask has substantially decreased the effect that chemicals are having on me but I think that I will take up the idea of using 2 filters as I am very sensitive. It is so much more comfortable than the Respro mask and a lot less 'in your face'. I don't feel quite so conspicuous in Tesco! I have now ordered two pairs of filters as I am sure I will be using my new mask a lot in the future." J Steer
