The Effectiveness of Different Cleaning Agents on Cloth Masks
Research has proven that wearing a mask is one of the most effective ways to prevent the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. We tested the effectiveness of various cleaning agents in their ability to disinfect cloth masks. We found that soap, bleach, and hydrogen peroxide all showed a reduction in microbial growth, with hydrogen peroxide being the most effective. Our research also proved that drying the mask with heat was more effective than air drying, likely due to the sterilizing effects of heat.
