Why does my foot bath smell damp after cleaning or storage?

A damp or stale smell after cleaning or storage usually means the foot bath was put away before it had fully dried. Stop using it if the smell is chemical, burnt or followed by heating problems, as that suggests a different fault.

1. Check whether moisture is trapped inside

1. Unplug the appliance and open it only as far as the instructions allow.
2. Look for visible moisture, droplets or condensation in the bath area.

If you can see moisture, the unit needs more drying time.

2. Dry it thoroughly before reuse

1. Wipe the surfaces with a soft dry cloth.
2. Leave the foot bath in a warm, airy place until it is completely dry.

Putting it away while damp can cause smells to build up and may affect performance.

3. Review your cleaning method

1. Use only the mild cleaning method described in the instructions.
2. Avoid soaking parts or using strong cleaners that can leave residue.

Too much liquid or harsh products can leave an odour behind.

4. Stop if the smell is not just damp

• The odour becomes sharp, smoky or electrical.
• The appliance heats unevenly after cleaning.
• The smell returns every time you use it.

If the issue continues, stop using the foot bath and contact the retailer or store where it was purchased.
