The fourth wave of the new crown pneumonia outbreak in Hong Kong, with the number of confirmed cases rising daily, is worrying.
When going out to eat, you always have to take off your masks temporarily. Many people will buy mask storage devices to store them, such as mask boxes or mask covers, but they don’t know how to disinfect them.
Some people simply wrap them in tissues or envelopes and discard them after use. Which method is better?
The reporter of "Hong Kong 01" Food Channel visited Dr. Cai Jian, the former president of the Hong Kong Medical Association, Dr. He Xuegong, a specialist in Pediatric Immunization and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. K. Kwong, a Ph.D. from the Department of Chemistry, University of Hong Kong, to learn about 5 types of masks. The storage method is good or bad, the key points of use and the correct cleaning method.
5 ways to store masks, which is the best?
There are roughly five types of mask storage utensils commonly used in the market: paper towels, envelopes, storage boxes, storage sleeves and folding storage clips.
According to the replies of three experts, they all pointed out that each method has advantages and disadvantages, mainly depending on which situation you use.

K Kwong said that he uses paper towels because they are cheap and convenient, and they are disposable. They will not harbor bacteria like other tools, and avoid the trouble of reusing and cleaning.
Dr. Cai Jian chose to use plastic storage sleeves, which are as effective as an envelope to hold the mask tightly. The size is specially designed for the mask, and the mask can be placed on both sides, so it should be easy to use.
Dr. He Xuegong suggested that when choosing any storage tool, it is best to buy one or two more for replacement.
Points to note when using mask storage devices
K Kwong discourages the use of reusable equipment to place used masks, because every time a tool touches, there is an additional chance of infection during cleaning.
However, if you really use the storage container, you can also refer to the following methods. The most important thing is to remember to disinfect your hands at all times and wrap the mask with a tissue before placing it in any utensil.

What is the correct cleaning method?
Any reusable mask storage device has a chance to contain bacteria. Dr. Cai Jian believes that it should be cleaned 1 to 2 times a day.
In terms of cleaning methods, three experts agreed that washing with diluted bleach and soapy water is the best method.
Sometimes you can't wash yourself outside the street, you can spray or apply 60% to 80% alcohol, leave it for about 1 minute, and simply disinfect the storage utensils.
Dr. He Xuegong reminded the public that if there are enough masks in stock, they should not reuse masks as much as possible to ensure hygiene.
