Proper Care For Salt Rock Lamps

Salt rock lamps can help create a relaxed atmosphere in rooms, offices and living areas. These lamps produce negative ions. Salt rock lamps can create positive effects on your mental, emotional and physical health, according to the website SaltLampsPro.com. Inspecting and maintaining your salt rock lamp on a regular basis will ensure its continued functioning and allow you to continue to reap the benefits that it provides.


Instructions








1. Place your salt rock lamp in an area that is free from high humidity and water. Salt rock lamps are hygroscopic, which causes them to absorb whatever humidity or water is in the surrounding atmosphere.


2. Check your salt rock lamp regularly if it is new or you have placed it in a new location. If you notice water gathering on the lamp, consider finding a better spot with less humidity. Use a bristled brush or dry cloth to clean your rock salt lamp.


3. Switch the bulb on or light the candle on your salt rock lamp to evaporate any water on the exterior of the lamp. You must use a rag or towel, however, to wipe up any water that may have gathered on the lamp's electric fittings before turning it on.
