- There are plenty of face masks in stock these days at Amazon.
- That includes FDA-authorized options like AccuMed KN95 face masks and Powecom KN95 masks that NIOSH says work as well as 3M N95 masks.
- KN95 masks and other popular respirators are disposable, but you can still safely get multiple uses out of each mask if you disinfect it.
Pandemic essentials like Purell hand sanitizer, Lysol Disinfecting Spray, and Purell alcohol wipes, and more are finally much easier to get from Amazon than they were a couple of months ago. That said, they're definitely not the only sanitizing products you need.
Right now, FDA-authorized AccuMed KN95 face masks and Powecom KN95 face masks are by far the best-selling masks among our readers and it's easy to see why. They're the only NIOSH-tested KN95 masks on Amazon and they were found to filter up to 99% of small airborne particles. That's even better performance than most 3M N95 masks, and these masks are on sale with discounts.
These masks are disposable, and some studies say that traces of the novel coronavirus can survive on a face mask for up to seven days. Mask availability is still somewhat limited though, which is why experts have advised that limited reuse of disposable masks is okay. That said, it's crucial that you sanitize any mask before reusing it. You obviously shouldn't wash a mask like an N95 or a KN95 respirator with soap and water, and you also don't want to use heat because that can compromise the integrity of the filters. Instead, you should use a UV sanitizing box — and there are several popular options in stock right now on Amazon if you hurry. Note that we haven't tested them for efficacy.
The hottest model available right now is the PhoneSoap 3, which is finally back in stock after being sold out for months because of high demand. It's made for smartphones, as the name suggests, but you can also fit masks in there one at a time.
