Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can GuardMe masks be used for medical purposes?

Our masks are recommended for use by the general public, not by medical professionals.

  • What is a “melt-blown filter”?
Melt-blown is a non-woven fabrication process that blows fast-flowing hot air onto a polymer resin to produce a random, self-bonded web of spun fibers in the sub-micron range, which makes the material ideal for filtering harmful substances.
  • Are melt-blown filters better than other types of filters?

Yes, our melt-blown filters use the same filter technology that is used in N95 masks. Melt-blown filters provide superior filtration to other types of filters such as carbon or bamboo filters. Our filters are designed to efficiently separate and filter out bacteria, allergens, dust, airborne pathogens, and other harmful particulate matter.

  • Can I wear a GuardMe mask without the filter
Yes, however we recommend wearing our masks with the filters inserted in the inner pocket to ensure maximum protection.
  • How often do the filters need to be changed?

It depends on how much your are wearing the masks. If your are wearing  your mask continuously all day long, particularly in an indoor environment, we recommend that you wash your mask daily and replace the filter daily. The filter can be changed less often if you are wearing your mask less often.

  • Can I wash the filter?

No, the filter should be removed prior to washing, and a new filter should be inserted in the clean mask.

  • What are some other advantages of GuardMe masks compared to other masks on the market?
GuardMe masks are ergonomically designed using a 3D Stereo Cut  process to ensure optimal face fit, comfort, breathability, and maximum protection. We use soft, premium, skin-friendly knitted cotton for the inner layer, melt-blown fabric for the inner layer, and cotton fabric for the outer layer. By combining optimal fit, maximum filtration protection, and superior comfort to ensure compliance (i.e., that the mask is worn as much as possible), GuardMe masks are designed to keep you as healthy as possible.
