I'm using the sterilizer now that I posted from Amazon.

Soiiw CH-360T Heat Sterilizer 300W 1.5L w/Timer Disinfection Box Manicure Pedicure SPA Salon Equipment for Sundry Beauty Hair Nail Metal Tools with Handle

Simple and works well. I upped the time and slightly the temp based on the second paper. Abundance of caution.

Wife has to change out regularly on her one week on (one week off - telemedicine) at the hospital. They still don't have adequate supplies. They are however suppose to provide surgical for the patients during the visits this week. We'll see.

I believe the masks will become too hard to breath with before the elastic is damaged. The sterilizer I included has both UVC and heat. So far no problem.

We are keeping it in the garage and isolated from the house. I was uncomfortable using the oven just because of potential cross contamination.

I suspect the next advice will be for everyone to wear masks when out as soon as they are available.

YMMV. Best. Thanks for the ping.

I agree on the wanting everyone to wear a mask in the near future. I had some spares and just mailed some to extended family. Not sure why I waited - but finally did thinking if they made it mandatory to wear a mask outside, then they would have one at least.

Sounds like you and your wife are hanging in there - continued blessings to you.

Battelle is rolling out decontamination devices using Hydrogen Peroxide gas to decontaminate huge amounts of masks.
