Title: Himalayan Salt Lamps
Post by: Alex on September 12, 2022, 08:02:22 PM
These are quite popular but I was reading today that they are really dangerous for pets.  Thought 'd mention it as we have a few pet owners on here.

Oh dear.  We have a couple.  Fortunately, the cats don't seem to be attracted to them.

I remember some cheap busts of composers from many years ago. We thought they were marble but they discoloured so we put them in the dishwasher.....

Dissolved. Hardly anything left. I'm guessing they might have been bad for pets too.
