What You’ll Need
Here are the essentials before you begin:
| Item | Purpose |
| Sauna-safe wood cleaner | Gentle, non-toxic cleaning for wood surfaces |
| Soft-bristle brush | Scrubbing stubborn spots |
| Microfiber cloths | Wiping and drying surfaces |
| Bucket of warm water | Rinsing and general cleaning |
| Baking soda (optional) | Natural deodorizer and mild abrasive |
| Vacuum with brush nozzle | Removing debris from the floor and benches |
Step-by-Step Sauna Cleaning Guide
- Cool Down the Sauna:
Make sure the sauna is off and completely cooled before cleaning. Cleaning a hot sauna is dangerous and inefficient, so never try.
- Remove All Accessories:
Remove detachable objects such as seat cushions, buckets, ladles, thermometers, and towels. Use water and mild soap to wash each one separately.
- Vacuum and Dust:
Dust and debris can be removed from under benches, floors, and corners by using a vacuum attachment with a soft brush. This lessens the likelihood of allergies and accumulation.
- Clean the Walls and Benches:
Use warm water diluted with baking soda or a wood-safe cleaner to moisten a microfiber cloth. Clean the walls, backrests, and benches. The wood should be moist, not soaked.
Eco Tip: For a mild, non-toxic solution, make a natural cleaning by combining 1 tablespoon baking soda with 1 quart of warm water.
- Scrub Stains or Sweat Marks:
Sweat stains or watermarks can be gently scrubbed with a soft-bristle brush and baking soda paste (baking soda + water). Then, gently rinse with a moist cloth.
- Clean the Sauna Floor:
Mop with warm water and a tiny bit of natural cleanser after vacuuming or sweeping. Sauna flooring, particularly wood ones, are sensitive to moisture, so don’t use too much water.
- Disinfect Non-Wood Surfaces:
Sanitize any glass, door handles, or heater controls with a vinegar-water spray (1:3). Dry right away.
- Clean the Sauna Stones and Heater:
Once your sauna has cooled, take out any stones that may be present. Rinse with warm water and give it a quick scrub. Use a dry cloth or a vacuum to clean the heater’s surface.
- Dry and Ventilate :
To ensure thorough drying, leave the sauna door open for a few hours. Wood damage and mold are avoided with enough ventilation.
How Often Should You Clean Your Sauna?
| Task | Frequency |
| Wipe benches after use | After every session |
| Light cleaning (dusting) | Weekly |
| Deep cleaning | Monthly or bi-monthly |
| Stone inspection | Every 6 months |
Eco-Friendly Sauna Cleaning Tips
For environmentally conscious, wellness-conscious homeowners:
- Select chemical-free, biodegradable goods.
- Steer clear of powerful solvents and bleach since they can harm wood and produce pollutants.
- To cut down on waste, use reusable cleaning brushes and rags.
- After usage, leave windows and vents open to allow for air drying.
