Many grounding sheet owners inadvertently damage their investment within the first six months.

At $200-400 per set, this represents a significant waste of money. More importantly, it deprives you of the documented health benefits these sheets can provide.

Here are the facts:

The average grounding sheet contains a significant quantity of silver-coated thread. Each washing cycle subjects these threads to mechanical and chemical stress. Conventional washing methods reduce conductivity each month they are used.

However, following these scientifically-proven care instructions will preserve your investment:

  1. Water at 85°F (29.4°C) provides optimal cleaning while preserving conductivity. Higher temperatures oxidize silver threads. Lower temperatures fail to remove body oils that impede grounding.
  2. Detergent Selection: Only unscented, natural detergents with a neutral pH maintain optimal conductivity.
  3. Mechanical Action: Gentle cycle agitation preserves silver thread integrity. Faster speeds can cause an increase in fiber degradation.
  4. Air drying preserves conductivity. If machine drying is necessary, use low heat (maximum 125°F/51.6°C). Higher temperatures cause damage to conductive properties.

How to Implement These Instructions:

  1. Use only lukewarm water (85°F/29.4°C)
  2. Select pH-balanced, natural detergent
  3. Choose gentle cycle
  4. Air dry when possible
  5. Store in cotton bags, never plastic

A Note About Cost: Following these instructions adds only a few cents per wash to your laundry expenses. However, it extends sheet life, saving an average consumer a nice wad of cash over the years.

At $200-400 per set, grounding sheets represent a significant investment in your health. These care instructions, proven through rigorous testing, will protect that investment.
