Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Somasalt natural salt lamp! You’ve made a wonderful choice for your health and home. To ensure you get the most out of your salt lamp and keep it looking and functioning at its best, it’s important to follow some simple care and maintenance guidelines. In this blog post, we’ll share our top tips for taking care of your natural salt lamp.
Setting Up Your Salt Lamp
When you first receive your salt lamp, it’s important to set it up correctly:
Choose The Right Location: Place your salt lamp in a dry area, away from any sources of moisture. Salt lamps naturally attract water, so it’s important to keep them in a low-humidity environment to prevent them from sweating or dissolving.
Use The Right Bulb: Make sure to use the correct wattage bulb for your salt lamp. A higher wattage bulb will generate more heat, which helps to release negative ions and maximize the lamp’s benefits. At Somasalt, we provide the appropriate bulb with each lamp.
Daily Maintenance
To keep your salt lamp in top condition, follow these daily maintenance tips:
Keep It Dry: If your lamp starts to sweat, wipe it down with a dry cloth. This will help to maintain its integrity and prevent it from dissolving.
Live On It: For best results, keep your salt lamp on as much as possible. The heat from the bulb helps to release negative ions and maintain the lamp’s effectiveness.
Avoid humid Area: Bathrooms, kitchens, and other humid areas are not ideal locations for your salt lamp. Instead, place it in dry areas like the living room, bedroom, or office.
Deep Cleaning Your Salt Lamp
Occasionally, your salt lamp will need a deeper clean to remove any dust or dirt that may have accumulated:
Turn OF Unplug: Before cleaning, make sure your lamp is turned off and unplugged to avoid any electrical hazards.
Wipe With Damp Cloth: Use a slightly damp cloth to gently wipe down the surface of the lamp. Avoid using too much water, as excess moisture can dissolve the salt.
Dry Immediately: After wiping down your lamp, dry it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. This will help to prevent any moisture from seeping into the salt.
Storing Your Salt Lamp
If you need to store your salt lamp for an extended period, follow these steps to ensure it remains in good condition:
Turn Off And Unplug: Always make sure your lamp is turned off and unplugged before storing it.
Wrap In Plastic: Wrap your lamp in a plastic bag or plastic wrap to protect it from moisture and humidity.
Store In Dry Place: Choose a dry, cool location for storage. Avoid areas with high humidity, such as basements or attics.
