Saunas are a great way to relax and unwind after a long day at the office. It is especially good for tight muscles and detoxing. What happens when your sauna starts to get an odor, or what can you do to be proactive and keep up regular maintenance on your sauna? This is actually easier than you may think with a little elbow grease and several products. You will have the cleanest sauna in the area.
Regular maintenance is not too involved, but can be important to keep it clean and running properly. You can try to use a broom and vacuum for basic cleaning, as well as do a quick clean up of the floors and benches.
Keep a stack of towels outside your sauna for easy access to use for sitting on while using the sauna. This will protect the wood from your body sweat, and help keep the sauna clean. It is best to make sure these towels are not washed in harsh detergents to protect the wood as well.
Protecting the sauna wood should be one of your highest priorities when maintaining the sauna. Start by treating your sauna benches, backrests and other areas with sauna bench wood oil. A weekly schedule of cleaning the wood works best to make sure it is cleaned regularly and maintained, unless you do not use your sauna as often. Purchase a mild detergent and mix with water, and use a sponge to liberally wash the wood on the floor and benches. After you have washed the wood, take a towel to wipe the wood dry.
If the wood begins to become discolored due to excessive use, you can use light grade sand paper and slowly brush away the discoloration. This can give your sauna wood a refreshed look.
You should also maintain your sauna heater. If your sauna uses a wood burning heater, you will need to constantly remove the ash build-up. You should also periodically check the exhaust pipe to make sure that there is no creosote build-up. This can be a major fire hazard so this is a great thing to check often.
If you are running off an electric heater, the maintenance is easier as all you have to do if occasionally wipe off the heater to keep any build-up under control.
Finally, if your sauna heater has sauna stones, you need to examine them weekly to make sure none of the stones have cracked. If there are any cracked stones, they should be removed and replaced.
