It does not matter how such cleaning solutions are administered. Once cleaned for at least five
minutes with one of the above, rinse the mask with plenty of water and leave to dry. Ensure products
are dry before use or storage.
At the very least, the respirator should be cleaned at the end of each working shift to benefit personal
hygiene, health and product longevity.
3.1.4 Storage
There may be particular required storage procedures depending on your working environment. This
should be confirmed with your organisational Respiratory Health and Safety Officer.
Corpro recommends the mask be stored in a cool, dry and sterile / uncontaminated place, out of
direct sunlight. Corpro can offer rigid, reusable storage containers if this is preferable, but if not,
somewhere safe and clean such as a disinfected personal locker will be sufficient.
The respirator should always be cleaned before storage, regardless of how long the respirator may
remain unused.
SPECIFICALLY FOR COVID-19:
NB: Make sure the mask and filters are dry in advance of storage.
Corpro recommends storing the mask (and filters) in a polythene bag, preferably zip-locked with some
form of desiccant (such as a dry silica gel sachet), when not in use. A polythene bag is included when
purchasing a HM1400 half mask or FFM1600 full face mask.
If the above storage method is not possible, it is suitable to store the mask and filters in a clean area
where there is no risk of contamination e.g., a disinfected personal locker.

To summarise, based on the information presented above, Corpro recommends the following
maintenance intervals:
