It is good to wash your Earthing product. It will not be harmed by washing, in fact it is beneficial. Washing strips body sweat and natural skin oils from the silver keeping it conductive. Here's how to wash and care for the sheet:
DOs
- Wash in a washing machine with warm water (40°C / 105°F)
- Use a liquid laundry detergent
- Line dry or dry in a dryer on low (up to 65°C / 150°F)
- Can be ironed on a low heat if desired
DON'Ts
- Don't wash with bleach
- Don't wash with 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 dry clean
Bleach, lotions and oils can tarnish the silver 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.
