Enhance Your Health with Himalayan Salt Lamps

10. Safety Precautions

Ensure that your salt lamp is firmly affixed to the base. It should have a UL certification label as an added safety measure. Exposure to high humidity can cause Himalayan salt crystals to melt over time. Place your lamp away from moisture sources such as showers, sinks, laundry machines, and dishwashers. As with any electric device, keep it where it cannot be knocked or pulled down. Some salt lamp admirers advise that you wipe your lamp with a slightly damp cloth once weekly. This, they maintain, will help remove pollutants that have been drawn to the lamp's surface and keep it dust free. Do not immerse any component of your lamp in water.
