Guide to Getting the Best Out of Your Mask

As of September 2025, COVID infections are on the rise in nearly half of U.S. states. Wastewater surveillance confirms that viral activity is trending upward, a strong indicator that cases are climbing across communities. This surge means that exposure risks are higher, and even careful individuals may find themselves vulnerable. With these increases, it’s more important than ever to take proactive steps to protect yourself, your family, and your community.

Staying cautious doesn’t mean panicking—it means being prepared. One of the simplest and most effective steps you can take is wearing a high-quality mask, especially in crowded indoor settings, on public transport, or at work in customer-facing roles.

KF94 Masks: How to Get the Best Out of Them

KF94 masks, made in South Korea, are held to strict quality standards, much like N95 respirators. They filter out at least 94% of airborne particles, including virus-containing aerosols. Their unique 3D design reduces leakage around the edges, while staying comfortable enough for long wear. This makes them one of the most reliable tools for everyday protection.

But here’s the good news: KF94 masks are not only effective, they’re also easy to wear. They’re designed to be adjustable, so most people can find a snug, secure fit with little effort. Plus, nearly all mask providers include clear size guides on their websites, making it simple to choose the right fit before you buy.

And while KF94 masks are already excellent, you can make them even better by following a few easy steps:

1. Clean Hands First – Wash or sanitize your hands before handling your mask.
2. Pick the Right Size – Use online measurement guides from suppliers to choose your fit.
3. Inspect Before Wearing – Make sure the mask is new, dry, and undamaged.
4. Find the Top – The side with the nose clip goes upward.
5. Put It On Properly – Cover your nose and mouth, looping the straps over your ears.
6. Adjust the Nose Clip – Gently press it along your nose bridge for a tight seal.
7. Check the Fit – Inhale and exhale; the mask should stay snug without gaps.
8. Hands Off the Front – If adjustments are needed, use the straps instead.
9. Replace When Necessary – Swap for a new mask if it becomes damp, dirty, or hard to breathe through.

With these steps, you’ll turn a great mask into the perfect daily companion for safety.
