A step-by-step guide to cleaning your red light face mask and PEMF mat with High Maintenance Cleaner, plus mistakes to avoid so your devices stay effective.
Quick answer
To clean your red light devices, unplug them, wipe surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with High Maintenance Cleaner, and let them air-dry completely. Avoid soaking any electrical parts or using harsh chemicals. This routine keeps your red light face mask and PEMF mat hygienic and ready for each session.
Why regular cleaning matters for red light therapy devices
Red light face masks and PEMF mats come into close contact with your skin, sweat, and natural oils. Without regular cleaning, residue can build up on the surface, which may reduce light transmission or create an unhygienic experience. Cleaning also helps maintain the materials and electronics, protecting your investment over time. High Maintenance Cleaner is formulated to be gentle on these devices while effectively removing buildup.
What you'll need
Gather these supplies before you start: High Maintenance Cleaner (Bottle + Concentrate or Re-Fill Concentrate), a soft microfiber cloth, and a clean, dry towel. Avoid paper towels, which can scratch delicate surfaces, and never use abrasive sponges or harsh chemical sprays.
Step-by-step cleaning routine
- Unplug and power down: Always unplug your device from the power source before cleaning. This prevents electrical hazards and protects the internal components. Checkpoint: Ensure no lights or heat are active.
- Mix High Maintenance Cleaner: If using the concentrate, dilute according to the instructions on the bottle. Pour into the spray bottle for easy application. Mistake to avoid: Don't use undiluted concentrate; it may leave residue.
- Wipe the surface: Lightly spray the cleaner onto a microfiber cloth, not directly onto the device. Wipe the mask or mat surface gently, paying attention to areas that contact your skin. Checkpoint: The cloth should be damp, not dripping.
- Clean crevices carefully: Use a dry, soft brush or a corner of the cloth to reach seams and edges. Avoid inserting anything into openings or vents. Mistake to avoid: Don't let liquid seep into electrical parts.
- Air-dry completely: Let the device air-dry in a well-ventilated area before plugging it back in. Ensure no moisture remains on the surface or in crevices. Checkpoint: Dry time may take 10–15 minutes.
- Store properly: Once dry, store your device in a clean, dry place. Avoid folding or crushing the mask or mat. Next step: Clean every 1–2 weeks, or more often with heavy use.
