MAINTENANCE TIPS

It is recommended that users take a shower prior to entering the sauna room. Before sitting or reclining on benches, place a towel under each person to absorb perspiration.

CLEANING

Sweep or vacuum periodically (at least once a week if used heavily) to remove dirt, hair, etc.. from the sauna interior.

Wipe walls where people have touched them (e.g. above benches, around doors, and controls) as needed. Use a damp cloth or sponge with a mild solution of soap and water and then rinse well with a damp cloth and plain water. DO NOT USE TOO MUCH WATER as the wood will tend to turn dark. NEVER hose down the interior of a sauna room.

CARE OF INTERIOR

If the interior walls have been scratched or dented, they may be smoothed by a light hand sanding using fine grade sandpaper.

If the wood has darkened (this usually takes a long time) it may be restored by applying a special chemical treatment. These stains are easily removed by using a solution of

  1. 4 ounces Oxalic Acid Crystals per gallon of warm water
  2. 1 cup of trisodium phosphate (TSP)
  3. Use a NON-METALLIC container only.

Apply the solution to the entire area at one time, using a cloth or soft brush. When the wood dries, rinse with clear water. More than one application may be necessary.

CAUTION:

Oxalic Acid is poisonous and special precautions must be taken.

Wear goggles and rubber gloves and be careful not to let the acid or solution touch your skin or eyes.

NEVER apply paint, stain or other chemical finishes or sealant to the interior of the sauna. The heat of the room may cause the surface to become too hot to the touch or cause toxic fumes to be released.

Clean the sauna often to keep a fresh and well-maintained appearance.

Use a bucket of warm water with a mild detergent soap and a clean sponge or rag to wipe the bench surfaces and floor.

Avoid heavy detergents, they could discolor your wood or leave a residue, which could emit irritating or harmful fumes.

Never ever turn a hose on the sauna to wash it down.

Thompson's Water Seal may be used on exterior paneling for outdoor saunas only.
