7xB Abaca Fiber Face Masks

Still looking for that perfect face mask? How about an eco-friendly alternative with a filtration rate 7x better (hence, 7xB) than a cloth mask?

Masks are washable, reusable, water-repellent, and tear-resistant.

They filter 7x better than cloth masks as tested and approved by DOST (Depart of Science and Technology).

Made from eco-friendly sustainable material.

Can last for up to 4 months (depending on use).

No wonder, these abaca face masks have been featured in various online websites such as Rappler, NOLISOLI, Spot PH, and more.

Major bonus for us: 7xB Abaca Fiber Masks are handmade in Salay, Misamis Oriental in Mindanao by a community of around 350 artisans.

Now that you already have your own abaca fiber mask, how do you care for it to make it last as long as possible?

Here are the three methods to clean these masks:

🔶 Set your iron according to the desired temperature.

🔶 Press the inner and outer parts of the mask.

This method is best used when you wish a quick clean of the masks and have no time to wash the masks yet. Washing is highly recommended though!

🔶Set your washing machine on delicate mode and set it for 2 minutes.

🔶 Rinse with running water.

🔶 Apply fabric softener and hang dry.

Make sure not to mix your masks with other items as some colors may bleed or stain.

🔶 Soak mask for 3-5 minutes with water and soap.
🔶 Rinse with running water.
🔶 Apply fabric conditioner (optional).
🔶Hang the washed masks.

Check the video above as a guide when washing the masks by soaking.

Important reminders though when washing the masks, avoid scrubbing or brushing the surface of the abaca layer especially when it's wet.
