SAUNA MAINTENANCE

As an organic material, wood also needs regular maintenance to preserve its natural qualities for longer

Sauna installation guides

By following the recommendations below, you will prolong the life of your sauna and keep its fresh look for longer.

Throw water only on the heater, not on the walls or benches.
If the bench is too hot, use a seat cover or a dry towel.
Avoid sitting on the sauna bench in wet swimwear.
Avoid using cleaning products unsuitable for use in a sauna (for example disinfectants bleaching and damaging the wooden surface).

Wipe the bench with a clean damp cloth. Do not use running water for cleaning the sauna bench. Make sure excess water does not pool on the wooden surfaces.
If necessary use a suitable cleaning product for cleaning your sauna and other wooden components. Before cleaning, read the instructions for use of the product you are going to apply, and make sure it is safe for wooden surfaces.
Allow the surfaces to dry after cleaning the sauna and ensure good ventilation in the room. We recommend leaving the heater on for at least half an hour with the air vent open and the door and windows closed.
Remove the seat covers and wet towels from the bench boards.

Treat the wooden surfaces of the sauna with a product meant for this purpose. If the sauna is used often, the surfaces must also be treated more frequently.
Clean all seat, wall and ceiling surfaces with a soft brush or cloth and a special cleaning product, following the instructions provided on the package.
If there are stains or stubborn dirt on the bench, carefully sand the entire length of the bench with a fine-grained sandpaper, and then treat the sanded areas with a wood preservative.
Check the fastenings of the bench and supports and tighten the screws, if necessary. These may get loose over time as the changes in heat and humidity make the wood swell and shrink.
Check your heating stones, as they may crumble over time. Replace old stones or add new ones as necessary.

Do not dry your laundry in the sauna because of the risk of fire. Excessive moisture may also damage the wooden surfaces.
Do not exceed the maximum temperature allowed by the manufacturer of the sauna heater when heating the sauna: excessive heat may pose a fire hazard or cause the wood to warp.
Never use a pressure washer or running water to wash your sauna as excessive moisture could permanently damage the structure and surface of the wood.

Wood is a natural material that may crack or warp when exposed to temperature changes. This depends on the wood material used and the intensity of your sauna use.
Wooden surfaces may darken over time (places exposed to hot steam and water will darken faster).
Thermally modified wood may emit a characteristic scent when the sauna is heated. This will diminish over time.
