How to Turn Vacuum Bags Into Face Masks for Severe Conditions

In last resort cases, HEPA (not paper) vacuum bags can be used as a mask. We recommend you follow all CDC guidelines and attempt to obtain surgical masks before attempting to search for an alternative. Please consult your doctor before taking any action. Masks are not the primary way to prevent spread of the disease.

*Will need sewing machiene or hot glue gun. *

We take a brief break from our normal content to focus on the current outbreak. As most vacuum bags are made from HEPA material they are great at filtering all kinds of germs. This means they make a good alternative for face masks, which are currently difficult to obtain.
We remain dedicated to continuing to aid our customers with their cleaning needs and are at the same time very concerned with the health and well being of our fellow Coloradans. In light of the recent shortages on other staples we are concerned that we may see a shortage of vacuum bags. A such we are limiting purchases of High filtration HEPA vacuum bags to one package per household. This limit does not apply to our commercial and business customer base who we will work with on a case by case basis. This also does not apply to low filtration paper vacuum bags which can not be used for masks. If you or some one you know are using vacuum bags to manufacture masks for medical personal, first responders, retail workers call centers or other critical workers in the state of Colorado please reach out to us with requests for access to reserved supplies and discounted pricing.
