The grounding throw is a plush, ultra-soft, cotton conductive blanket, with a soft microfibre backing. The throw has a thick, luxurious feel, with highly conductive silver fibres woven throughout the quilted cotton face (the microfibre backing is non-conductive).
It measures 110cm x 160cm (43" x 63"). Colour is natural cotton (off-white) and the backing is a dark tan colour.
It's perfect for curling up with on the sofa, or can be placed over a mattress to sleep on, or used as an over blanket. There just needs to be some bare skin contact with the conductive side of the throw (this is the side with the silver fibre stitching).
This product set includes everything you need for use: the grounding throw, a 6m (20ft) coiled cord, and your choice of Earth connection.
Washing and care instructions
It is good to wash your grounding product. It will not be harmed by washing, in fact it is beneficial. Washing strips body sweat and natural skin oils from the silver keeping it conductive.
DOs
Wash every week or two
Wash in a washing machine with warm water (40°C / 105°F)
Use a liquid laundry detergent
Line dry or dry in a dryer on low (up to 65°C / 150°F)
Can be ironed on a low heat if desired
DON'Ts
Don't wash with bleach
Don't wash with fabric softeners
Don't use whitening detergents, oxi-detergents
Don't use detergents with strong fragrances (either chemical or essential oil based)
Don't use dryer sheet fabric softeners
Don't dry clean
Bleach, lotions and oils can tarnish the silver rendering it non-conductive. Fabric softener builds up on the silver and will eventually ruin its conductive properties. Please also check/clean the detergent drawer of your washing machine for residues of other detergents, since many detergents (particularly powders) contain whitening agents which will harm the silver, even in small quantities.
It is advised to wait one hour to use the product after applying oils or lotions to the skin.
