How to Clean Up After Galvanic Therapy



Galvanic therapy treats everything from wrinkles and lines to muscle sprains and strains. Galvanic therapy is the use of negatively charged ions to stimulate the human body to repair itself. Galvanic therapy units are available to the public, and treatments are available at many spas. Cleaning the unit kills bacteria and removes debris and dust. Read on to learn how to clean up after galvanic therapy.







Things You'll Need:





Galvanic therapy unit




Gloves




Water




Rubbing alcohol




Spray bottle or container




Towel









1


Wash your hands and put on gloves before you begin to clean the galvanic therapy unit. The gloves protect the unit from any body oils or liquids on your hands.





2


Mix the alcohol solution. The alcohol solution used to clean the galvanic therapy unit is 70 percent rubbing alcohol. This means the solution is seven parts alcohol and three parts water. An easy way to mix this is 7 cups rubbing alcohol and 3 cups water.





3


Pour the solution into a spray bottle or container. The recipe makes more solution than you'll need for a single cleaning. At the end of the cleaning, save the remainder of the solution for later.





4


Spray or pour the alcohol solution onto a towel. Do not spray or pour the solution on the unit itself.





5


Rub the unit down with the towel. Pay close attention to the display and metal back plate. Remove the conductor from the top. Thoroughly clean the probe and the conductor.





6


Store the galvanic therapy unit in a zip-up bag or a plastic bag that closes. This cuts down on the amount of bacteria and debris the unit is exposed to.








Tips & Warnings










Clean the galvanic therapy unit after every use.
