I hand wash my mask every evening as I get home with a sunlight bar in the basin.

I have around 6 or 7 of them so they circulate.
 
disposables are easiest , keep a whole bunch in places you frequent like your car and change them on the fly ! boom
 
I have mainly cloth masks. Have a pack of the surgical ones in the car for emergency backup. I only wear briefly for the most part so I wash perhaps once a week but on the odd occasion I have to wear a mask 2 to 3 hours in a row and then I put that in the wash. I doubt I would want to wear the same mask for more than 4 hours without cleaning.
 
Every 2-4 weeks, but then again, only wear it at the shops to get in and other places it is required. Luckily don't need it at work when I am in the office, it usually lives in my car until I put it in the wash, and then take one of 2 other spares which I rotate. I have three of these things, and refuse to spend money on any more.
 
I have a couple of different masks that I rotate, do a weekly wash of all of them
 
Got 2 buffs, wash them every 2nd week and while the one is drying, I use the other.
 
I rotate washable masks. Filters are separate, but I don't use them when exercising.

Mostly I have clean masks at my disposal. Keep them wherever I may need them.
 
Twice a day right now, 5 days between the same masks.

Your mask should not be used again in 5 days, 2/3 if left in the sun.

Otherwise wash it when you get home.
 
Once a day now
Up until last week we were allowed to wear our buffs and a buff would last 3 days easily before any sign of smell. Plus a buff you can rotate and get a new piece of cloth.
These disposable ones are kak, but its the law
 
Surgical masks get tossed at the end of the day. When it's a reusable one I tend to spray it with sanitiser at the end of the day and leave it to air out over night.
