Maintaining wood in your sauna: 7 tips to keep the inside of your sauna in top condition

But how do you treat the inside of your sauna? 7 tips

Tip 1: Use clean water

This is a crucial tip for maintaining your sauna properly. Although it seems simple, it prevents mold problems and ensures a healthy environment. By always using fresh water, you breathe the cleanest air during your session.

Tip 2: Cleaning

Another tip is to clean the wood with a damp cloth and mild soap. This removes dirt and sweat residues that can build up and damage the wood.

Tip 3: Ventilate

Make sure you ventilate the sauna well, so that moisture does not get a chance to penetrate the wood. Always keep the ventilation openings free and let the sauna dry well after use with the door open.

Tip 4: Check for damage

It is also important to regularly check for any damage to the wood, such as cracks or loose planks. Repair this as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Tip 5: Do not use aggressive cleaning agents

Do not use sharp objects or aggressive cleaning agents when cleaning the wood to prevent scratches and damage. Instead, use a soft cloth and mild cleaning agents.

Tip 6: Use sauna maintenance oil

Another tip is to treat the wood regularly with a special sauna oil. For example, consider the Sauna Maintenance Oil from Borma Wachs. This oil structurally protects the wood against moisture and temperature fluctuations, so that it stays beautiful for longer and is less likely to rot.

Tip 7: Sanding

Finally, it is advisable to thoroughly sand the wood in your sauna every now and then and re-treat it with oil to keep the wood in optimal condition.

With these tips you can enjoy your sauna to the fullest and the wood will stay in top condition!
