How do I maintain the sauna?
Maintaining the inside of the sauna is straightforward. After each use, it’s recommended to pour water onto the benches, walls, and floor of the frequently used areas. With a gentle brush, give it a light scrub to wash away dirt and sweat to keep it looking and feeling clean. If you forget to scrub it down, it’s not a big deal; you can do it next time or the time after that.
Every once in a while, depending on usage, you can give it a more thorough washing with mild detergent or hand soap.
It’s also recommended to seal the inside of the sauna with a natural wood finish. Sealing helps keep it looking clean and prevents sweat from absorbing into the wood. ‘Conpert Natural Wood Finish’ is suggested for sealing. The sealing process is simple; you just brush the sealant on with a paintbrush in high-traffic areas. The sealant is clear and doesn’t darken the wood. The Aspen wood used in the sauna is light in color, so the sealant helps repel dirt. The sealant is available for purchase, and the sauna can be sealed for an additional cost.
Since our saunas are built to withstand plenty of water usage, keeping them clean is super easy. Unlike most saunas on the market, ours has draining waterproof floors, making it much easier to maintain cleanliness. It is recommended to leave the heater on for 10–15 minutes after use to help dry out the sauna. This practice contributes to the overall maintenance and cleanliness of the sauna.
Maintaining the exterior of the sauna is quite simple. If it gets dusty and dirty, wash it down gently with soap. It is recommended to use hand soap or even car wash soap, but avoid using dish soap, as it can be too strong. Regular, gentle cleaning should be sufficient to keep the exterior of the sauna in good condition.
