We looked to include a range of face coverings made of different materials, numbers of layers and designs (eg pleated, molded, with filter, kids sizes available), to see which were most effective and comfortable.

Filtration efficiency is measured based on the percentage of colony-forming units of bacteria that were able to pass through the face covering. Seven masks (results listed in the table above) failed our tests. We shared our results with the manufacturers or retailers, and these were their responses. The Big Silk and Superdrug were our two Best Buys that were least likely to steam up. The Big Silk, Airpop and Superdrug were the Best Buys that were rated 5/5 for comfort while wearing glasses. How we selected face coverings to test One of our testers rated each mask for how comfortable it was to wear with glasses and whether their glasses steamed up while wearing it.Health & Wellness Cleaning stressing you out?

They're able to filter 93.8% of tiny particles when new and this doesn’t diminish after five washes. This mask was the best at filtration in our tests. It filtered 99.9% of particles before washing and 94% after five washes. It's 'semi-reusable,' meaning it has to be disposed of after 10 washes or 40 hours of use, but it's an impressive halfway point between a reusable and disposable face covering - a good one for times when you want a bit more reassurance. There's a kids' version of the mask too. The best solution for cleaning eyeglasses (and sunglasses) is simple: soap and water. COVID-19 is very sensitive to all soaps, said Dr. Joseph Vinetz, an infectious disease doctor at Yale Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. Here's how to disinfect spectacles from coronavirus. Although we didn't test the effectiveness of the antimicrobial coatings specifically, you can find out more about these coatings and their claims in our guide to anti-viral face masks.

Three people with different head shapes and sizes put each of the coverings on and then took them off again 80 times to simulate a month’s worth of wear, looking for signs of damage.

A nose wire allows you to create a snug fit, but the adjustable ear loops can be a bit fiddly to get right. Always rinse the lenses first with water to avoid grinding any particles that may be on the surface into the glasses and scratching them, Horn advised. Many people use their breath to steam up the lenses to try to clean them. “Especially right now, you don’t want to breathe on your glasses,” Horn said, to avoid putting any germs on them. Don’t use rubbing alcohol or bleach to clean glasses Again, all the products passed this test. Any shrinkage was minimal and not enough to affect the fit. Ease of use The best face coverings were able to filter 99.9% of particles, while the worst only managed a paltry 7%'The Vita Group said its face covering had been tested at external accredited testing facilities which showed filtration levels of more than 90%. It said that the discrepancies in results demonstrate the need for mandatory overarching standards to be put in place. We have been in discussion with the Vita Group and we are working together to understand each other's findings. Breaking head straps is a common complaint we've noticed with disposable masks, but it doesn't seem to be a significant issue with reusable ones. No damage was reported to any of the coverings during this test, apart from the Vita Shield where the material started to fray slightly after repeated putting on and removing. Cleaning and shrinkage I’m certainly not saying glasses are the main culprit by any means, but you just always want to be careful — making sure you’re cognizant of the fact that glasses can transfer (the virus) and be aware of how to clean them properly.” Our tests revealed significant differences in effectiveness between reusable masks. The best can be as effective as a disposable version, but the worst are nearly useless. There were many warnings earlier on in the pandemic about how contaminated surfaces could possibly spread the coronavirus. We now know that the main way people become infected with COVID-19 is by breathing in droplets or particles that have been expelled by an infected person. And while an infection from touching a surface that has the virus on it and then touching one's eyes, nose or mouth is considered uncommon, the Centers for Disease Control still lists it as one of the three main ways COVID-19 can possibly spread. And many people may not be aware of a “surface” they’re touching all day: their glasses.
