How much water does the SALSAMED salt cup need? Tips for care and cleaning

The salt glass is not only a decorative highlight, but also a natural support for a pleasant indoor climate. Proper care is crucial for it to unfold its full potential . In this article, you'll learn how to optimally fill, clean, and use your salt glass – and why you don't have to worry if things don't go perfectly.

How much water does the salt cup need?

The correct amount of water is crucial for the salt cup to function optimally. The cup should always be "earth-moist"—neither too dry nor too wet. The bottom layer of salt can also be moist, as long as no standing water forms.

If water does appear in the drip tray, it's a sign that you've added a little too much water. Don't worry: It's not a problem! Simply clean the drip tray thoroughly and add a little less water next time. A quantity of 100–200 ml per refill is sufficient in most cases, but this also depends on the room temperature and humidity.

How often does water need to be refilled?

Refilling depends heavily on the ambient conditions. In a room with normal humidity, it is usually sufficient to add a small amount of water every two to three days . In very dry or warm rooms, such as those near a stove or during the heating season, it may be necessary to add water more frequently.

A simple rule of thumb: Check the salt surface regularly with your fingertips. It should always be slightly moist, never dry or lumpy. If lumps do form, don't worry: Simply add a little water and gently stir the salt surface with a spoon. After a short time, the moisture will be evenly distributed, and the salt structure will regenerate itself.

How do I clean the salt cup?

To ensure that your salt cup stays beautiful and functions perfectly for a long time, regular but simple cleaning is advisable:

• Exterior: The surface of the salt cup is "living" – meaning that salt flowers constantly grow and can even prevent dust from accumulating. If dust does become visible, you can gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Don't worry if some of the salt is removed: The salt flowers will grow back over time.
• Drip tray and base: Clean the drip tray and base regularly with a damp cloth, especially if water or salt residue remains.
• Interior: If any crusts form inside, they will usually dissolve on their own once you refill the water. To better distribute the moisture, you can also gently stir the salt surface with a spoon.

Each salt cup is unique

It's important to note that each salt cup is a unique product. Care depends on many factors, such as humidity and room temperature. Don't worry if you're a little unsure at first—over time, you'll get a good feel for how best to care for your salt cup. It's perfectly normal to experiment a bit until you find the optimal amount of water and refill frequency for your cup.

Summary

• Refill water: 100–200 ml every two to three days, depending on the room climate.
• Keep it moist: Check regularly with your fingertips whether the salt surface is still moist.
• Water in the drip tray: A sign of too much water – clean the tray and reduce the amount next time.
• Cleaning: Carefully wipe the outside with a damp cloth, clean the drip tray regularly, and remove any clumps inside by gently stirring.

The salt glass is designed to bring you years of pleasure – both through its visual beauty and its positive effect on the indoor climate. Consider it a unique product.
