Universal Mat & Sleep Mat Care

To clean the mats, simply wipe down the mat using a non corrosive cleaner. Do not use chlorine bleach or liquid fabric softener, or any detergent containing bleach or fabric softener, chemicals that can ruin the conductivity of the mat. Do not apply lotions, creams, or oils to the skin before bedtime on parts of your body that will be in contact with the Earthing mat. Such substances oxidize and can damage conductivity. Air dry the mat only.

 

Body Bands Care

The preferred cleaning method is to hand wash with soap and then immediately put them in the dryer on low heat.  The conductive fiber is silver. Do not bleach Do not use fabric softener Do not use oxidizing cleaners If machine washing is necessary it is advised to use a small garment bag.

Don’t use dryer sheets

Absolutely No Dry Cleaning

Throw Care

It is good to wash your Throw. It will not be harmed by washing.  In fact it is beneficial. Washing in warm water strips body sweat and natural skin oils from the silver keeping it conductive.

Do’s

  • Wash a minimum of 2x per month or weekly is recommended
  • Wash in a washing machine
  • Wash with warm water, approximately 40 celsius (105 degrees Fahrenheit)
  • Dry in a dryer on low or line dry

Dont’s

  • Don’t wash with bleach or fabric softeners
  • Don’t use whitening detergents, oxi-detergents OR detergents with oils like lavender or coconut oil
  • Don’t use dryer sheet fabric softeners
  • Don’t apply lotions or body oils before bed

Bleach, body lotions and oils can tarnish the silver thread rendering it non conductive. Fabric softener builds up on the silver and also ruins its conductive properties.

It is advised to wait one hour to use the product after applying lotion to the skin. Iron using low heat.
