DIY Sauna Maintenance for the Home Spa Enthusiast
In the world of home relaxation, few things rival the blissful heat of a personal sauna. But like any good relationship, it requires some tender loving care. Don’t worry—we’ve got the steamy details on keeping your sauna in tip-top shape.
“Think of your sauna as a living, breathing space,” advises Finnish sauna expert Matti Saunanen. “It needs to breathe after each use.” His top tip? Always prop open the door and benches post-session to allow air circulation. A quick wipe-down of benches removes sweat and oils, preserving that cedar scent we all love.
Monthly, channel your inner cleaning guru. Sweep, scrub, and sand—but ditch the harsh chemicals. “A mild soap solution and soft brush are all you need,” Saunanen insists. “Your sauna should smell like nature, not a laboratory.”
Don’t forget about the heart of your sauna—the heater. Annual stone inspections and rearrangements ensure proper airflow and heat distribution. With these simple steps, your sauna will be your personal fountain of youth for years to come.
