Spanish term or phrase: mascarillas higiénicas reutilizables
Hi, everyone!

I would like some advice on how to translate "mascarillas higiénicas reutilizables" into English. Model: UNE 0065:2020.

I am torn between "reusable non-medical face masks" or "reusable cloth masks". On a Spanish website I found that "mascarillas higiénicas" are "no sanitarias" but at the same time, switching from the Spanish wiki page "mascarilla higiénica" to the English version takes me to "cloth face mask". Hence my confusion.

The text mentions that these masks are not part of PPE nor an official sanitary product.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
