Hi Andrea,
I wanted to know how you keep the infrared body wrap clean? Do you just open it up and hose it down? Is there a collection unit for sweat? I don’t have one yet but I am considering getting one.
Thank you
Hi Sequoia. No this is no collection unit for an infrared body wrap. What I use are plastic drop cloths that can be purchased from any store that sells paint. I use the ones that are 10 X 10 and come in a roll. You can either just lay in there naked or with panties and a t-shirt on. I do not recommend a bra as the metal parts can become hot. By using the infrared wrap this way, you will be able to really see how much liquid your body gets rid of. I personally like to wear thin cotton pajamas and let the sweat collect on the fabric.
Then when you are done, simply throw the plastic in your recycle bin. If any liquid spills on the blanket, just wipe clean with some disinfectant.
Remember to drink about 16 ounces of water before you use the infrared body wrap and do not eat anything at least 2 hours prior to the infrared session.
I hope this helps.
Andrea
