The characteristics of wood and surface treatment
Wood is a natural material, and you should know the following about its characteristics. Normal-
ly, wooden materials gain a grey tint in roughly one year, depending on the amount of sunlight
(care instructions below). Sometimes resin may be exuded from knots, but it can be removed
from the knots with a steel trowel and the area treated with knotting solution. Splinters may
also come off from the wood; they should be removed immediately using a sterile needle (use
e.g. wound cleaner to disinfect it).
Surfaces of the sauna
The surfaces of the sauna, made with plain sawn softwood and spruce plywood, has a beautiful
black tint. If you want to maintain this shade of black, the outside of the sauna must be stained
every few years, depending on how the sauna is used. At the factory, the sauna is treated with
industrial water-based wood oil. If you want to use the original industrial wood oil to treat the
sauna again, you can order the wood oil via your retailer.
Hygiene
We always recommend washing up before and after sauna bathing. Always use clean sauna
bench towels to protect the benches and maintain hygiene. A clean sauna has a fresh scent,
which makes sauna bathing a pleasure.
Cleaning
Ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the sauna by washing it sufficiently often. Before washing the
sauna, empty the ashes from the sauna heater's firebox and brush off all rubbish from the floor. We
recommend using environmentally friendly cleaning agents such as Kirami's Biowash for washing the
sauna. Rinse the sauna walls, benches and floor well after washing; you can also use a garden hose to
spray water on the surfaces in question.
To facilitate cleaning, the bench covers are movable.
