How to make a mask with household items

CDC Guidelines 
about making masks
The CDC recommends Americans wear face masks in public to reduce transmission of Covid-19.
There is a shortage of face masks nationally, and it is highly recommended to make your own. Below are a few tips, tricks, and links to create your own masks--without sewing and with household items.

CLEANING TECHNOLOGY
Cellphones and Tablets 
Make sure you are disinfecting your phone and tablet multiple times a day. Use a disinfecting wipe or alcohol solution (70% or higher). Take your phone out of the case and clean the case and phone separately. 
*Tip* If your phone is not charging as quickly as it once did, check the charging port. Clean it gently with a paperclip. Clogged charging ports can stop a phone from efficiently charging. 

Computers 
Avoid using disinfecting wipes on laptop screens, some screens are made of plastic and the wipes can seriously harm them. Use a wipe to clean the outside and the keyboard. For screens, use a soft towel and isopropyl alcohol. 
​
​Accessories 
This is also the time to clean all your technology accessories. Don't forget to clean mice, headphones, TV remotes, game consoles, and styli. Use a disinfecting wipe or an alcohol solution to clean.
