There are many clean room supplies that are incredibly important, but one of the most important is a face mask.

That's why, in our last blog, we started giving you tips for wearing and breathing through a face mask. Keep reading to learn more:

#3. Double check the sides of your mask. 

After you have properly fit your mask over your mouth and nose, make sure that you check the sides of your mask. No air should be escaping through the sides of your mask. Depending on the kind of mask you are wearing, you may be able to fit your mask comfortably by pressing your fingers to the edges so that they fit your face snugly. 

#4. Use your nose to breathe in and your mouth to breathe out.

The proper way to breathe with a mask on is in through the nose and out through the mouth. Breathing this way helps to protect you and the environment. When you breathe in through your nose, your nose helps to filter out the air you breathe. When you breathe out through your mouth, your mask will let the air escape more quickly than if you were to breathe out through your nose. 

It's important to wear your mask correctly and utilize proper breathing techniques while wearing it. If you have any questions or concerns about our clean room supplies, please contact us today!
