If you wash the mask at a temperature above 60 degrees Fahrenheit and dry it properly, just as you do with items such as towels and sheets, then the protective object can be used again.
The higher the temperature at which the masks wash, the greater the likelihood of annihilating any remnants of the new coronavirus that may still be present in the tissue.
Most infectious viruses do not survive temperatures above 60ºC, so you should choose to use these washing programs for items that house germs and bacteria in high quantities and that are washed less frequently, as well as kitchen towels, bedding , bath towels, scarves, scarves, gloves or children’s clothing.
If in the meantime you have already purchased masks considered to be of high quality – N95 and FFP3 – and normally used by health professionals in hospitals, you can wash them but the process will degrade them more quickly.

Some people have been putting their masks in the microwave and starting fires. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/a32237766/face-mask-in-microwave-firefighter-warnings/
I use a surgical mask. They said we could also disinfect them.
Using a mask is very important now. It’s funny, the way to avoid corona is like the way the corruptors avoid being caught; shut up and “wash hands”.
I do use one , it was the washable one I use for pollution. Now I hardly go out.
I do not go out and so I do not use one but the maid uses it.
If I go out I use a mask. Stay safe.
I also always use a maks when I go out.
I use washing masks. I wash my masks at 60 degrees and then I apply them at a very high temperature.
Washable masks are the best, you are doing it right. Thank you
