Keep your Touch America ION Salt Table in peak condition with this step-by-step care routine covering salt, sound, heating, and upholstery.
Quick answer
Care for your Touch America ION Salt Table by keeping the salt bed dry and level, dusting it between sessions, and wiping only the hammock and frame with a damp cloth. Never pour water on the salt or use harsh chemicals near the sound components. A consistent weekly routine prevents salt clumping, protects the acoustic resonance technology, and keeps the heated crystals performing as intended.
Daily wipe-down and salt check
After each client, inspect the salt bed for clumps or debris. Use a soft brush or vacuum on low suction to remove surface dust and loose crystals. Wipe the hammock and upholstery with a cloth barely dampened with water—never soaked—and avoid touching the salt with wet hands. This prevents salt from dissolving and hardening into uneven areas that can affect comfort and sound transmission.
Weekly deep clean of the frame and controls
Once a week, unplug the table and wipe the metal frame, control panel, and any exposed wiring with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the table; apply to the cloth first. For the sound system, gently vacuum the speaker grilles with a brush attachment to remove dust that can muffle the acoustic resonance. Check that all cables are secure and free from pinching.
Monthly salt rejuvenation and heating check
Every month, turn on the heating element for 15–20 minutes to evaporate any moisture that may have accumulated in the salt. If the salt looks compacted, break up clumps with a clean, dry tool—never a metal object that could scratch the hammock. Test the sound system at low volume to confirm both channels work. If you notice uneven heating or dead spots, contact Touch America support; do not attempt to open the salt bed yourself.
Seasonal checks and upholstery care
Each season, inspect the hammock for wear or stretching. If you chose a custom color-3-3d178a52c5b46995c6ff29a6-1122089">color-11-e53d6241d271afd42b88fe2a-1122087">upholstery color, clean it according to the manufacturer’s instructions for that material—typically a mild soap and water solution on a damp cloth. Avoid alcohol or solvent-based cleaners, which can damage the fabric and void warranties. Also check the table’s accessory holes if you use a face cradle like the Touch America Contour FaceSpace w/ Neptune Pillow 41084-NP; confirm the size and spacing match before inserting or removing the pillow to avoid bending the frame.
Step-by-step care routine
- Step 1: Post-session dust and dry wipe: After each use, brush or vacuum loose salt dust from the bed and wipe the hammock with a barely damp cloth. Mistake to avoid: using a wet cloth that drips onto the salt, which can cause clumping. Checkpoint: the salt surface should look dry and level before the next client.
- Step 2: Weekly frame and sound system cleaning: Unplug the table, then wipe the frame and controls with a dry cloth. Vacuum speaker grilles gently. Mistake to avoid: spraying cleaner directly on the table, which can seep into electronics. Checkpoint: no dust or debris around the sound ports; all cables are secure.
- Step 3: Monthly heat and salt maintenance: Run the heater for 20 minutes to dry the salt, then break up any clumps with a dry, non-metal tool. Test the sound at low volume. Mistake to avoid: using metal tools that can scratch the hammock or puncture the salt bed. Checkpoint: even heating and clear sound from both speakers.
- Step 4: Seasonal upholstery and accessory check: Inspect the hammock for wear and clean upholstery with mild soap and water only. If using a face cradle, confirm hole spacing matches the cradle’s requirements before inserting. Mistake to avoid: forcing an incompatible accessory into the table’s mounting holes. Checkpoint: no tears or excessive stretching; accessory fits without resistance.
