SAUNA MAINTENANCE
To make sure your sauna always looks its best, clean it
often.
Follow these tips to treat and maintain your outdoor sauna:
• To keep the bench surfaces and floor clean, wipe them down with a clean rag or sponge
dipped in a bucket of warm, soapy water (or you can mix a dozen drops of your favorite essential
oil mixed with 2 tablespoons of witch hazel and water solution).
• Always use a mild organic soap or your favorite essential oil (see above); strong soaps can
damage or discolor the wood or possibly leave a residue that gives off harmful fumes.
• If you have a tiled or cement floor, then use a mop with a mild soap mixture to clean the floors.
• The rocks in your sauna will also need to be cleaned. Please wait until they are cool before
soaking them in warm, soapy water. Use a sponge to clean them off and then rinse them in
clean water. Make sure the rocks are completely dry before placing them back in the heater.
• While your rocks are soaking, clean out the heater of any foreign materials. If any of your rocks
are cracked, do not place them back in the heater. The grit they leave behind can damage the
stainless steel.
• A quality water seal may be used on the exterior paneling for outdoor saunas only.
• We also recommend “Sun Frog” to preserve the beveled cedar siding outdoors only.
