Wear & Care Limited

Reusable Mask sampling

We are looking for 5-10 local businesses in the Nailsworth area to test our reusable antiviral facemasks for fit, comfort and design.  There is no charge for this and they will be yours to keep. If you’d like to take part in this sample trial please read on and drop us a line.

Who we are

We are Wear & Care Ltd, a performance textile business based in Nailsworth and Brisbane, Australia. When Covid-19 first appeared widely back in February we decided to apply our knowledge of textiles and approach solutions in a scientific way by really looking at the nature of the virus and how it is spread and then creating products which work specifically well in reducing that spread. We also could see that there had to be a more ethical and sustainable way of having high functioning facemasks rather than just single use.

In February we worked with the Queensland State Government, and Queensland University of Technology, to design and prototype reusable face masks as well as reusable surgical gowns to work alongside the huge number of single use disposable ones in use. Alongside microbiologists and textile experts we have developed a range of reusable facemasks and gowns with our unique, and safe, antiviral coating.

Wear & Care masks

Our masks are completely reusable and designed for healthy people in the community – retail and hospitality staff, market traders, bus drivers, taxi drivers, factory workers, supermarket staff, schools etc. It has a completely safe antiviral impregnation which lasts at least 50 commercial washes. After that the masks are usable time and time again as regular cloth masks.

 

Feedback needed

We are planning on going into full production of our masks in the very near future but first we are looking for 5-10 local businesses to test our masks and give constructive feedback – about everything from the fit and design to the instructions that come with it. We’d also like to ask that we could take a few photos of the masks in action (we will be happy to feature your business in these if you would like). We are keen to keep this trial as local as possible and so concentrating on Stroud and Nailsworth…. it’s where we live after all!

What you need to do

The reusable masks will be yours to keep. (normally retail for £9-£11) Remember they will replace at least 50+disposables (and many more as a regular cloth mask). If you’d like to take part in this small sample trial please drop us a line at enquiries@wearandcaretextile.com . We will deliver the masks out to you the week commencing 15th June along with instructions for feedback and a photo or 2. We will aim to collect feedback as we go. All you need to do is use them and give us some feedback.
