How to Care for a Himalayan Salt Lamp

Himalayan salt is naturally hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. This is part of what gives salt lamps their character, but it also means a little care goes a long way.

Keep your lamp away from direct water contact, and wipe it with a dry cloth if you notice any surface moisture.

In humid climates, keeping the bulb lit for a few hours a day can help reduce moisture buildup, since the gentle heat supports evaporation.

With basic care, a natural salt lamp can remain a long-lasting decorative piece in any room.
