The N95 (or equivalent) masks are more inherently efficient because they not only mechanically filter but attract particles due to ionic/electrostatic attraction. Anyone remember the old Sharper Image Ionic Breeze? Even before then I remember similar air purifiers sold in the old DAK catalog. I think the same principle is why things like Swiffer dry wipes works. Or oiled gauze automotive air filters.
The following suggests ways to extend N95 life. It mentions maintaining the ionic charge. Obviously people are trying to extend the life of otherwise disposable masks, so this is hardly ideal. I’m not sure how cleaning would affect the electrostatic properties.
