Increasing the Longevity of Your Sauna
A sauna is a beautiful oasis of relaxation and
rejuvenation. Likewise any well-loved space, a
sauna requires regular maintenance so that it
continues providing years of enjoyment. Please
check out some essential tips to keep your sauna
room in top condition

• Regular Cleaning After each use, wipe down
  benches, walls, and floors with a damp cloth to
  remove sweat and residue. This prevents bacterial
  growth and mold buildup, preserving both hygiene
  and the sauna's integrity.
• 2. Gentle Cleansing Avoid harsh chemical
  cleaners that can damage wood and affect the
  sauna's aroma. Instead, use a mixture of warm
  water and a mild, natural cleaning agent for safe
  and effective cleaning.
• 3. Manage Moisture Focus on moisture-prone areas
  such as behind benches and near heaters. These
  spots are susceptible to mold growth, so ensure
  they are well-ventilated and routinely inspected.
• 4. Ventilation Proper airflow is crucial. After
  each use, leave the sauna door and vents open to
  allow moisture to escape, preventing mold and
  mildew. Regularly clean or replace ventilation
  fans and filters to maintain optimal airflow and
  remove dust.

5. Wooden Surface Care Saunas are typically
constructed from wood, requiring special care to
maintain their natural beauty. Avoid harsh soaps
and detergents, opting instead for gentle
cleaning methods. Periodically lightly sand
wooden surfaces to smooth out any roughness. 6.
Essential Maintenance Regularly inspect and
maintain key components like door seals, sauna
stones, and heating elements. Replace worn seals
to retain heat efficiency, monitor stones for
cracks to ensure consistent heat distribution,
and promptly address any issues with heating
elements. 7. Ongoing Maintenance Schedule
Establish a routine cleaning schedule, including
a quick wipe-down after each session and a more
thorough cleaning monthly or as needed.
Consistent upkeep ensures your sauna remains a
pristine retreat.
