Sauna Cleaners

Wipe down benches and high-contact areas after every few sessions, and do a full clean every 2 to 4 weeks for regular use. Heavy use (daily or shared family use) calls for weekly deep cleaning. Routine upkeep prevents stains from setting in and is much easier than restoring neglected wood.

No. Regular soap leaves residue that can become irritating or release fumes when the sauna heats up, and many household cleaners contain bleach or harsh solvents that damage untreated wood. A purpose-made sauna cleaner is biodegradable, low-residue, and safe for the high-heat environment.

Mix 2 to 3 capfuls of concentrate with 1 gallon of warm water, apply to cool surfaces with a soft cloth or sponge, wait 60 seconds, then wipe clean. Let everything dry fully before your next heat-up. Spot test on an inconspicuous area first and avoid over-soaking the wood.

Always clean a fully cooled sauna. Cleaning warm or hot wood causes the solution to dry too quickly and leave streaks, and any residue that doesn't fully evaporate can release fumes when the sauna heats up again. Wait until the room is at normal temperature.

The smell comes from sweat and skin oil that has soaked into the wood. A biodegradable sauna cleaner lifts those oils from the grain in a single wipe. For deeper smells, run two consecutive cleanings a few days apart, then heat the sauna empty for a session to dry the wood fully.

Yes. The biodegradable formula is safe for all common sauna woods including cedar, spruce, hemlock, and aspen. It doesn't bleach, stain, or alter the natural color of the wood. Always spot test on an inconspicuous area first if you're unsure about an unusual or treated surface.
