What maintenance is required for Saunas?Updated 5 hours ago

Interior Wood

  • Wipe down benches, backrests, and walls with a clean, dry cloth after each use.
  • Do not pour water directly onto the internal wood. If cleaning is required, use a lightly dampened cloth with warm water (avoid harsh cleaners).
  • Allow the sauna to air out after each session by keeping the door open until fully dry.
  • Periodically sand rough spots or sweat stains with fine-grit sandpaper to maintain a smooth, hygienic surface.


Exterior Wood

  • The first application of wood wax oil should be done after two years, followed by annual applications. Adjust frequency based on weather exposure and paint/finish usage.
  • Regularly clean off dirt, dust, and pollen with a soft brush or cloth.
  • Outdoor sauna only: Remove leaves, debris, or standing water from the roof and around the base to prevent moisture damage.
  • Inspect for signs of mould or mildew and clean with a mild soapy solution if necessary.


Glass Surfaces

  • Clean glass doors or windows with a non-abrasive glass cleaner or diluted vinegar solution.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals that may affect seals or finishes.

  

General Cleaning

  • Clean the sauna room with a damp cotton towel, then dry it with a clean, dry towel.
  • Do not use benzene, alcohol, or strong cleaning chemicals, as these may damage the wood and its protective layer.


General Checks

  • Inspect door hinges, handles, and seals regularly; tighten screws and adjust if needed.
  • Ensure ventilation points are free of blockages for proper air circulation.
