You Probably Should Be Wearing a Face Mask If You Can

Question: is there a recommended way to clean a cotton mask or mask of other material? Does running it through the wash risk contaminating other clothes? Should I instead spray it down with alcohol or wet-and-zap it in the microwave for 30 sec, similar to sponge disinfecting?

Washing it in boiling water for 5 minutes should be enough but you should do it at least every day. This is what our government advise us here in Czech.
