CleanSpace Respirators

14. Cleaning

We recommended that you clean your respirator after every use. The mask, blower, neck support and harness need to be
cleaned separately. Disassemble the mask, neck support and harness from the blower before cleaning. CleanSpace cleaning
wipes are recommended as a simple and effective method of cleaning the CleanSpace Respirator blower and masks.
CLEANING THE MASK
There are two methods for cleaning the masks. Before washing the mask, remove the
valve cover on the Half Mask or flip up the rain cover on the Full Face Mask to reveal the
exhalation valve leaf. To remove the valve cover (Half Mask), find the small inlet located
under the lower, inside edge of the valve. Use your finger nail to unclip and push up the
valve cover.
The valve cover is easily fitted back by placing it with the clip aligned to the inlet on the
valve seating and pushing down. The valve cover will gently snap back into place. See
Figure.

2. Hand wash in warm soapy water

Wash the mask thoroughly with a mild detergent in warm water (less than 50°C).

A soft brush or sponge can be used to remove any stubborn dirt or grit

To clean the exhalation valve, gently wash the warm water solution through the valve and use a sponge to gently clean
the valve seat

Rinse the mask and valve well in warm running water. IMPORTANT: If the mask is not rinsed thoroughly, residue from
cleaning solution may irritate the wearer's skin or cause the valve to stick. Replace the valve cover before use.
Drying the mask
After cleaning, allow the mask to air dry in a clean environment, valve up to prevent water pooling. Note: Do not dry the mask
by exposing directly to heat i.e. hair dryers or heaters. The mask can also be hand-dried with a clean, lint-free cloth.
IMPORTANT: Cleaning can cause the exhalation valve leaf to stick. Before use, check that the exhalation valve leaf operates
freely by gently lifting the valve. Replace the valve cover before use.
WARNING: NEVER DRY THE MASK OR EXHALATION VALVE WITH A CLOTH THAT MAY LEAVE BEHIND LINT.
Lint contamination of the exhalation valve may cause it to leak, resulting in overexposure to contaminants and lead to
