Outdoor sauna maintenance

Our Tønsaunas are made with materials that will last for years. The sauna has to endure quite a lot due to the temperature change from cold to warm or rain and wind. Therefore, it is important to give the wooden exterior of the sauna a good maintenance once a year. If the wood remains in optimal condition, you will enjoy your barrel sauna longer.

The wood of the sauna is best treated with our tar oil. It is important that it is an agent that breathes, and is not a slurry that completely seals the sauna.

The inside of the Tønsauna does not really need much maintenance. Maintaining the inside of the sauna mainly means cleaning it well by wiping up dirt from the floor and cleaning the benches with a cloth and possibly Saunaclean. It is best to make sure the sauna stays as clean as possible. You do this, for example, by using a towel so that the benches do not get too dirty.

When maintaining the sauna, it is very important not to forget the sauna heater. With a wood-fired heater, this is just a little more work. With a wood-fired stove, you remove the ashes from the stove, clean the window and wipe the outside with a cloth. The latter is all you do with an electric stove. Do you pour a lot of water over the stones? Then remove these from the stove as well and rinse them clean with water and soapy water.
