Reuse wet N95?

I’ve switched up my workout routine in the gym and when I leave my N95 is soaked with my sweat.  If I let it dry for a few days is it safe to use again?

      Yes, it should be fine after drying. Your biggest issue there will be the build up of oils over time. I would wrap it in a paper towel while drying so that some of the oil will transfer over to the paper towel that you can just throw away.

      You’ll want to avoid using soap or alcohol on the mask as that will decrease it’s lifespan and longevity. Try and let it completely dry between uses, rotate through a few masks over the week to allow for any bacteria to die off

        Stronger statement on that one: Any N95 exposed to soap or alcohol is no longer an N95. Just toss it.
