Take care to handle your mask only by the ear loops when taking it off, and immediately wash your hands. Ideally you should wash you mask daily and after trips out to the store. Machine washing is fine but the elastic will perform better if not put in the dryer. Hand washing your masks may be more convenient. Use detergent or grease-cutting dish soap in hot water, lather up well, then let soak in very hot water (add a kettle of boiling water to the stainless steel mixing bowl) for 10-15mins before rinsing and drying. And of course, wash your hands!

An adult should make the initial adjustments for kids to ensure a good fit.

Simply slide the silicone toggles to find the ideal fit behind the ears. Small beads at the end of the elastics are to assist young hands in finding the ends to tighten.

 The neck strap is intended as a leash to hold the mask when it's removed it from the face and can hang loosely around the neck. For safety, the Kids version of Keeper has an extra toggle at the back of the neck strap as a breakaway.

The aluminum nose strip should be molded to the nose and cheeks to prevent gaps. The strip is removeable through a small opening in the top casing, accessible from the upper inside corner of the mask. Gently gather the layers of fabric between your fingers to work the strip to the opening. An extra strip is included with each mask. Do not remove the adhesive covering before carefully inserting the new strip with the unprinted side facing the outside of the mask. 

This mask does not provide medical grade protection, nor is it intended to replace social distancing. To help stop the spread of disease during outbreaks, please stay home whenever possible. If you must go out in public, the CDC recomends using a cloth face covering. Covering your face is to protect others as well as yourself.
