    Do exactly how the military guy shows to fold sew 🧵 around it to make a rectangle then cross X to keep from unfolding. Add string like the pictures show . Tie on .Toss on washer with bleach y soap even. It’s about protection not looks so who cares what it looks like. Can add a layer in it if like of cloth to add a piece of your A/C filter /furnace filter or anything you think would help even more just add a button inside facing inward to remove when you wash spray the filter with Lysol or bleach water lightly let sit

    During this CV19 lockdown, I've been watching vids on a youtube channel, "Il Refugio Perfetto" ("The Perfect Refuge"). She has a lot of simple, basic recipe ideas. Italian. Usually not with voiceover, but translated subtitles for ingredients and methods. Interesting. I don't have all the fresh ingredients on hand that she uses, but she stimulates ideas anyway. FYI.
