Useful Tips for Enjoying Your Finnish Sauna and Infrared Sauna Cabin for Years to Come!
It’s worth taking the time to maintain your sauna or infrared sauna cabin, as this will extend their lifespan and make the experience even more enjoyable.
Tips for Sauna and Infrared Sauna Cabin Maintenance
General Sauna Cleaning: For cleaning your sauna and infrared sauna, it’s recommended to use chlorine-free sauna cleaners and disinfectants. It’s important to avoid chlorine-based products, as they can be absorbed into the wood structure and release harmful substances when heated. The best way to remove dust and dirt is by diluting the cleaner 100-fold and applying it to the sauna surfaces with a soft cloth.
Cleaning should ideally be combined with ventilation to keep the sauna and its surroundings fresh, preventing mold growth.
Care of Benches and Foot Grates: It’s beneficial to treat sauna benches and foot grates with paraffin oil 2-3 times a year. The type of wood may affect how often maintenance is needed, so it’s a good idea to consult the manufacturer for the best maintenance practices.
Tip: Before each use, place a towel on the bench to protect the wood from direct sweat and dirt, helping to extend its lifespan.
To ensure optimal operation of your sauna, we recommend performing a minor service annually and a full maintenance check at least every two years. This includes inspecting the sauna heater, wooden elements, electrical system, and other accessories, as well as performing necessary repairs.
It is important to highlight that the manufacturer's warranty will no longer apply to issues arising from the lack of professional servicing every two years. Therefore, we encourage all our customers to use our official maintenance service to maintain warranty conditions.
Cleaning the Sauna Heater:
The exterior of the sauna heater can be wiped down with a chlorine-free cleaner, which also helps remove any limescale buildup. Take care not to get any cleaning products inside the heater. Sauna stones generally do not require maintenance and can typically be used for 5-8 years before replacement is recommended.
In general, it’s important to regularly clean and/or disinfect the parts of the sauna and infrared sauna that come into direct contact with skin. This helps prevent infections and unpleasant odors in the sauna or infrared sauna.
If you have any specific questions, please feel free to contact us. Choosing a sauna from a local manufacturer also means you can rely on their support in such cases!
