thanks so much for this! How should the facemask be cleaned after use? Soap and water?

Hi @alvaro.makes.music1 - Respirators must be maintained according to the manufacturer's instructions. Please refer to the manual or instruction sheet provided with your respirator for inspection and maintenance. If you're in B.C. you can also call WorkSafeBC’s Prevention Information line at 604.276.3100 or 1.888.621.7322 (toll free) to be directed to a prevention officer who can provide more information and guidance about workplace health and safety and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation.
