Maintaining wood in your sauna: 7 tips to keep the inside of your sauna in top condition
Why is it important to properly maintain the wood of your sauna?
Regular maintenance of the wood in your sauna is essential to extend the life of your sauna. By treating and protecting the wood properly, you prevent it from becoming damaged and discoloured by the heat and humidity in the sauna.
The wood can warp, crack or discolour due to the heat and moisture. By regularly treating the wood with a special oil, the wood remains in top condition and retains its beautiful appearance.
This way you can enjoy your sauna for longer and avoid unnecessary costs for repairs or replacing the wood.

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!
