Sauna Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance of your sauna are essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Follow these guidelines to keep your sauna in top condition:

Daily Maintenance

  1. Wipe Down the Interior:
    • After each use, wipe down the inside of your sauna with a mixture of water and vinegar. This helps remove sweat and bacteria, keeping your sauna clean and fresh. Use a soft towel or cloth for best results.
  2. Ventilation:
    • Leave the sauna door open after each session to allow proper ventilation. This helps to dry out any remaining moisture and prevents mold and mildew from developing.

Using Towels

  1. Importance of Towels:
    • Always use towels on the seating and floor areas during your sauna sessions. Towels absorb sweat, protecting the wood from moisture and staining. This not only keeps your sauna clean but also extends the life of the wood by preventing excessive moisture exposure.

Annual Maintenance for Barrel Saunas

  1. Re-coating:
    • For outdoor barrel saunas, we recommend re-coating the exterior wood every year. This helps protect the wood from the elements and maintains its appearance. Use a high-quality wood sealant or stain designed for outdoor use.

Additional Tips

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

    • Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the sauna surfaces. These can damage the wood and reduce the lifespan of your sauna.

  • Inspect Regularly:

    • Regularly inspect your sauna for any signs of wear and tear. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.

  • Maintain Proper Humidity:

    • Ensure that your sauna maintains the correct humidity levels. Too much moisture can cause damage to the wood and electrical components, while too little can lead to dryness and cracking.

 

By following these maintenance tips, you can enjoy a clean, safe, and well-functioning sauna for years to come. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support team.
