Properties of the Totobobo Mask
How long does the anti-virus agent last?
The anti-virus agent in the Totobobo mask lasts the entire product lifetime.
Is the anti-virus property affected by washing or disinfection?
No, the anti-virus agent is embedded in the mask material and will not wash off or rub off during cleaning.
What is the weight of the Totobobo mask?
The complete assembly of the Totobobo mask, including the filter and strap, weighs only 20 grams, making it one of the lightest reusable respirators available.
Does the mask interfere with spectacles?
The Totobobo mask is designed to be thin and lightweight, allowing it to fit closely to the nose profile without interfering with glasses.
What is the size range for the Totobobo mask?
The Totobobo mask fits most adults right out of the package. It can also be trimmed to accommodate smaller faces, such as those of children or Asian females. It fits face lengths from 83mm to 128mm.
Will the mask fit my face?
Yes, the Totobobo mask is made from flexible material and features an ergonomic nose profile design, allowing it to adapt to many adult faces without modification. If it doesn’t fit perfectly, you can reshape it to optimize the seal.
Ensuring a Good Fit
How do I check whether the mask fits well and has a good seal?
- Easy Seal Check: The transparent mask makes it easy to check the seal. For better visibility, apply a bit of water to your face before wearing the mask. The area where the mask touches wet skin will become more transparent, helping you identify leaks.
- ReShape (Heat Molding): If you find areas with air leaks, you can reshape the mask using hot (maximum 70°C) and cold water to minimize leaks.
How do I know if the strap tension is correct?
Adjust the strap for optimal comfort—enough tension to hold the mask securely on your face while still allowing exhaled air to escape between the edge of the mask and your skin. For safety in high-risk environments (like hospitals), ensure the strap is tightened enough to maintain a good seal during inhalation and exhalation.
Reuse of the Mask
How many times can I reuse the mask?
Many users report using their Totobobo masks regularly for over two years, translating to around 600 uses. With proper maintenance, some users have used their masks for over five years.
Do I need to clean or disinfect the mask before reuse?
For non-contagious pollution (such as traffic pollution or dust), there’s no need to disinfect after every use. The silver ions in Totobobo help limit bacterial growth on its surface. In most non-contagious situations, it’s safe to reuse after leaving it in a clean environment for 24 hours. However, if there’s a risk of contamination with contagious pathogens or if used in critical areas like clinics, disinfecting before reuse is essential.
How can I clean or disinfect the mask?
You can clean and disinfect your Totobobo mask by washing it with soap and rinsing it with water—similar to washing your hands. Alcohol wipes can also be used for disinfection. If replacement filters are hard to obtain, you can extend their life by disinfecting them with UV-C light. This FAQ aims to provide clear answers regarding your Totobobo mask usage and maintenance.
