storing respirators and dusk masks

[Bill Dufour]

How do you store a respirator or dust mask so no dust gets inside? ear muffs fold onto themselves to seal out bugs and dust. I do not want to store then a baggie I want then to dry out any moisture between uses. maybe a cloth bag?
I ask for both virus masks and shop equipment. My virus mask I leave in the truck which is clean and dry.
My welding helmet I store in a square five gallon bucket with a lid to keep off the dust and spiders. It held laundry soap originally.

In a zippy bag with a paper towel after air-drying. Quick, cheap and easy.

A paper bag

My dust mask came in a zipper bag...which is where it lives hanging on the wall. My respirator also hangs on the wall. I clean it before use.

All of the professional recommendations I've seen for healthcare workers say to use a paper bag. In plastic they don't dry as well.

That's what I use.
