Not sure if my response went through... trying again (my apologies if anyone
receives it twice)...

Two layers of blue shop towels + cotton mask = 93% filtration.
We're using a single towel, folded, in our masks (which have a pocket for that
purpose).

Excellent point, agreed. We use Hoover Type Y allergen filters (has no
fiberglass), and my mask designs place the filter inside the mask, so it
doesn’t come into contact with the wearer.
Apparently, this issue has been brought up several times (good to know!), and
interestingly, the report I read stated that all vacuum manufacturers except
Shop Vac categorically denied that they use glass fibers for their bags.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Be careful of vacuum cleaner bags--many have glass fibers, which can do
horrible things to your lungs. Check with manufacturers before using them as
filters.
