Maintenance

Outdoor sauna maintenance

Routine cleaning, drying, stone care, chimney and seasonal inspection to keep an outdoor sauna serviceable for years.

Fall is when you ready a sauna for the season it's built for — chimney, wood, water and paths.

Keep the roof sound and water shedding away — the sauna's first defence against the weather.

Corrosion-resistant fixings, dry air, and safe soot cleaning — the metal and fire residue.

Mould needs damp wood — dry the sauna, ventilate and insulate, and it can't take hold.

The bands that hold a barrel together loosen over time — checking and re-tensioning keeps it tight.

Sanding brings tired interior wood back to life — with the right finishes, and none of the wrong ones.

Clear the creosote, keep the draw strong, and prevent chimney fires — regular flue care.

Stones, elements, ash and firebox — keeping the heart of the sauna in good order.

After-use, seasonal and annual tasks — a simple routine that keeps a sauna sound.
