Maintenance and Cleaning of Your Wooden Sauna

Maintaining and cleaning your wooden sauna should be done regularly, both inside and outside the structure.

These tasks are quick and easy. Some, like routine cleaning, should be done once or several times a week, while others, such as wood treatments, are less frequent.

Here are some practical tips for cleaning your wooden sauna, which will help keep it in good condition while making maintenance easier:

Ventilate the Sauna Spaces
After each use, ventilate your sauna by opening the doors and windows to create a draft. This helps eliminate moisture and prevents the growth of mold.

Vacuum and Clean the Floors and Benches
Once a week or after each use, vacuum all the spaces in the sauna, then wash the floors with water and a mild detergent specially designed for the sauna, free of toxic volatile substances. These could otherwise be inhaled during your session.
To clean the benches, use a soft damp cloth with a little non-toxic, mild detergent, then rinse.

Dry and Clean the Windows, Don’t Forget Other Spaces
After each use, carefully dry the windows and occasionally clean them with a soft, non-toxic product.
Don’t forget to clean other surrounding areas, such as the changing room, shower, or relaxation room, always with non-harsh products, avoiding substances like bleach.

A tip to maintain a clean environment: remove your shoes before entering the sauna and leave them outside.
