How to Clean and Maintain Your Sauna

A home sauna is designed to be a place of relaxation, but regular use can quickly lead to buildup on the internal surfaces. Sweat, body oils, mineral deposits, and moisture can all accumulate over time, leaving timber looking dull, glass panels cloudy, and fittings marked with scale.

Without regular care, these conditions can affect both the appearance and longevity of your sauna. Timber may dry out or stain, glass can develop stubborn residue, and fittings may collect calcium buildup. The good news is that with the right products and a simple routine, keeping your sauna clean and protected is quick and easy.

The Alpine Sauna Care range has been designed specifically for internal sauna surfaces, providing a simple system to clean, protect, and maintain your sauna’s timber, glass, and fittings.

Introducing The Alpine Sauna Care Range

Sauna Timber Clean

Sauna Timber Clean

Sauna benches and backrests absorb sweat, oils, and everyday residue from regular use. Over time this can leave timber looking dull or stained.

Sauna Timber Clean is a high performance cleaner and disinfectant designed for internal sauna timber. It removes dirt, sweat, and buildup in a single step while helping maintain the natural condition of the wood. The gentle formula avoids harsh chemicals, making it ideal for routine sauna cleaning.

Use it on internal wooden surfaces such as benches, backrests, and wall panels to keep your sauna fresh and hygienic.

Sauna Timber Guard

Sauna Timber Guard

Timber inside a sauna is exposed to repeated cycles of heat and moisture. Over time this can cause wood to dry out, crack, or lose its natural tone.

Sauna Timber Guard is a premium colourless, skin-friendly, fragrance-free, solvent-free, and toxin-free, oil designed to protect and nourish internal sauna timber. It penetrates the wood and creates an invisible barrier against heat, moisture, and wear while helping prevent cracking and splitting.

Regular treatment helps preserve the natural look of your sauna timber while extending its lifespan.

Sauna Glass Cleaner

Sauna Glass Cleaner

Glass doors and panels in saunas often develop mineral deposits, scale, and marks caused by moisture and heat. Standard cleaners can struggle to remove these residues and may leave streaks behind.

Sauna Glass Cleaner is formulated to remove calcium, scale, and rust from sauna glass and chrome surfaces. It dries quickly and leaves a streak free finish, helping restore clarity to glass panels and doors. Anti static properties also help reduce dust buildup after cleaning.

It is ideal for sauna glass doors, panels, chrome fittings, and stainless steel hardware.

A Simple Sauna Maintenance Routine

Keeping your sauna in great condition does not require a complicated cleaning schedule. A few simple steps every few weeks can help maintain hygiene and protect the materials inside your sauna.

Step 1: Clean Timber Surfaces

Start by cleaning the internal timber surfaces with Sauna Timber Clean.

Make sure the sauna is turned off and cool. Lightly spray benches, backrests, and other timber surfaces, then wipe with a soft or microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, use a soft brush.

Regular cleaning helps remove sweat and oils before they build up.

Step 2: Clean Glass Panels and Fittings

Clean glass doors and chrome fittings with Sauna Glass Cleaner. Lightly spray the surface and wipe with a microfibre cloth for a clear, streak free finish.

Step 3: Protect the Timber

Once the timber is clean and dry, apply Sauna Timber Guard.

Lightly spray the oil onto the timber and rub it in with a clean cloth. This helps nourish the wood and protect it from heat and moisture.

How Often Should You Clean Your Sauna?

The frequency of cleaning will depend on how often your sauna is used.

As a general guide:

Light use (once or twice per week) – Clean every few weeks
Regular use (several times per week) – Clean weekly
Timber protection – Apply Timber Guard periodically as part of your maintenance routine

Consistent maintenance keeps your sauna hygienic, protects the timber, and ensures glass surfaces remain clear.

A well maintained sauna not only looks better, it also lasts longer and provides a more enjoyable experience every time you use it.
