Frequently Asked Questions
Mask FAQ's
What are your masks made out of?
Our masks are made with two layers of tightly woven quilting weight cotton, a third 100% Polypropylene (Spun-bonded & Anti Microbial) interior layer, a nylon coated nose wire and 1/4" elastics with adjustable toggles.
Spun-bonded polypropylene is the Public Health Agency of Canada’s most recent filtration material recommendation.
Masks are light weight and breathable for easy all day wearing.How do I care for my mask?
We recommend that masks are hand washed daily with soap and water. Masks should be soaked in hot water with dish soap or laundry soap for a minimum of 20 minutes. Scrub thoroughly, rinse well and air dry.
Are masks one size fits all?
Adult Masks are one size fits most! Adjustable toggles on the elastics allow for an easy custom fit.
Do you feel like you have a "small face?" Big Gradeschooler Size is equivalent to a "Ladies Small" size. We're always happy to accommodate an adult print in a kids size, if materials are available. Just ask us!
We offer three kids sizes, Preschooler (3-5yrs), Little Gradeschooler (6-8yrs) and Big Gradeschooler (9-12yrs) *see listings for dimension details

Will my mask filter viruses and bacteria?
These masks DO NOT meet Infection Prevention Standards. Handmade, reusable masks are suitable to use as a measure to prevent face touching, and to contain spray from your own mouth or nose.

How do I care for my Pouch?
Daily Washing: Turn the bag inside out and wipe liner to remove any food debris. Hang to dry.

*Foods like avocado and carrots can (and likely will) stain the liner.
