Proper salt panel maintenance ensures longevity and therapeutic efficacy. Follow these essential care protocols:
Daily Upkeep
- Surface dust removal: Gently wipe panels with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid salt particle abrasion.
- Inspect for condensation: Immediately dry any moisture with absorbent towels to prevent salt dissolution and structural compromise.
Weekly Maintenance
- Vacuum with soft brush attachment: Maintain 3-4 inch distance from salt surface to dislodge debris without erosion.
- Check electrical components: Verify humidity control systems and lighting fixtures remain free of salt deposits.
Monthly Deep Care
- Efflorescence management: Brush off powdery salt residue (efflorescence) using a clean natural-bristle brush.
- Humidity calibration: Test room hygrometer accuracy; maintain 40-55% relative humidity to prevent excess moisture absorption.
Critical Precautions
Absolutely avoid: Water/liquid cleaners, abrasive tools, chemical agents, or high-pressure air. Salt is hydroscopic and easily damaged.
Address discoloration immediately: Yellow/brown patches indicate moisture intrusion or airborne contaminants - isolate source before remediation.
Document all maintenance activities, including observed panel texture changes or crystalline structure alterations for proactive preservation.
