Cleaning Your Himalayan Salt Lamp: A Step-by-Step Guide
Preparation
- Turn off and unplug your lamp: Always ensure the lamp is off and unplugged from the power source for safety.
- Gather your materials: You'll need a clean, soft cloth and water.
Cleaning Process
- Dampen the cloth: Take a clean cloth and wet it with water. It is very important that the cloth is only slightly damp, not dripping wet.
- Wring out excess water: Wring the cloth thoroughly so it's as dry as possible. A cloth that is too wet can damage the salt lamp.
- Dab, don't scrub: Gently dab the surface of the salt lamp with the damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid scrubbing, as this can dissolve the salt.
- Dry the lamp: After cleaning, you can either let the lamp air dry completely, or gently dry it with a clean, dry cloth.
Important Considerations
- Minimize Moisture: Salt dissolves in water, so keeping the lamp dry is crucial.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your salt lamp regularly (e.g., once a week) to prevent dust buildup.
By following these steps, you can keep your Himalayan salt lamp clean and functional for years to come.
