Maintenance and Care
Wood Protection: The cedar is finished with 100% natural MCT oil. To maintain the wood's integrity and appearance, it is recommended to reapply a light coat of MCT oil periodically if the wood begins to look dry.
Cleaning: Use a mild, natural soap and water solution to wipe down the interior surfaces. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the cedar or produce toxic fumes when heated.
Hygiene: It is highly recommended to place a towel down during sessions to catch sweat, protecting the wood and insulation.
Bulb Replacement: The incandescent bulbs are designed for longevity but are easily user-replaceable if they burn out.
Placement: Ensure the sauna is placed on a flat, level surface. If kept outdoors, it must be in a covered area protected from direct rain and standing water.
