Keep Your Sauna Sparkling: Quick and Easy Cleaning Hacks

Maintaining a clean sauna is essential for both hygiene and full enjoyment of your space. Regular cleaning ensures a comfortable, safe environment, and helps preserve the sauna’s wood and equipment. Here are a few must-know sauna cleaning hacks that will keep your space fresh and spotless:

• Use Natural Cleaners
  Always avoid harsh chemicals. Instead, use natural cleaners like vinegar, baking soda, or specialized sauna cleaners to maintain both cleanliness and the sauna’s beauty.
• Clean the Walls and Benches Regularly
  Wipe down the wooden walls and benches after each use to prevent sweat buildup. Use a damp microfiber cloth, and be sure to avoid soaking the wood to prevent warping. For deeper cleaning, mix a mild solution of water and vinegar, which can help disinfect and remove odors.
• Focus on the Floor
  The sauna floor tends to collect debris and moisture, so sweep it after each session. Once a week, mop the floor with a solution of water and a mild cleaner to keep it fresh.
• Ventilation Matters
  Proper airflow is key to preventing mold and unpleasant odors. Make sure the sauna’s vents are clear and open to allow for sufficient air circulation. Consider leaving the door slightly ajar after each use to help the sauna dry out completely.
• Don’t Forget the Heater
  The heater should be cleaned every month to remove dust and debris. Make sure it’s turned off and cool before cleaning. A soft brush or cloth is best for wiping the surfaces. Check your user manual for specific instructions.
