Maintenance
Sauna heaters and rooms require minimum care and maintenance.
Basic household methods, including cleaning of Sauna
room floor with a product such as Pine Sol, and occasional
scrubbing of benches with a mild soap, is necessary
for sanitary and odor-free atmosphere. When wood becomes
dark or stained from perspiration, a light sanding will
help to restore its beautiful appearance. Do not use
sealers, paint or varnish on interior wood, as toxic
vapors could be dangerous in the high temperatures of
a Sauna.
