Paper towel, dry baby wipes can work as filter in 3-layer masks, experts say Vickie Quigley owns The Covered Bridge Quiltery in Riverview, N.B.
She said she has contacted her distributor trying to source non-woven polypropylene now recommended by Health Canada to be used as a filter in masks.“If you had something new like this then you have a huge rush of people who will say, ‘I need this product to put in a mask,'” said Quigley.Demand for non-woven polypropylene is spiking at some fabric stores across the countryafter the federal health minister recommended earlier this week that face masks be made of at least three layers of fabric, with the middle layer being a filter-type material for added protection.
