But I understood it should be one freshly washed mask

What temperature?!

Is 30 degrees fine? Or will it only die at 60?

Do you have to wash the masks on their own? If you wash them in 30, with your clothes, are you simply not just covering your clothes with the virus?

Seems 60 is best, cotton can take 60.
And you can mix.

If guess putting used ones in a sealed bag until washing is best?

For clothes, aren't you relying on the soap in the wash here, which breaks down the virus at least as much as the temperature
