A sauna is not just a place for relaxation and rejuvenation; it’s also an investment that deserves long-term care. By following proper maintenance practices, you can extend the lifespan of your Oasislux® sauna and keep it in top condition. In this article, we’ll provide some simple yet effective sauna care tips to ensure your Oasislux® sauna remains as good as new.

1. Keep It Clean

Cleaning is the foundation of sauna care. After each use, make sure to clean the interior of the sauna. Use warm water and a soft cloth to wipe down the wooden surfaces, removing sweat and stains. Avoid using chemical cleaners that could damage the wood. While Oasislux® saunas are made from high-quality red cedar, which has natural antibacterial and anti-decay properties, regular cleaning will help maintain its elegant appearance.

2. Ventilation and Drying

To prevent moisture buildup, ensure that the sauna is well-ventilated and dried out after use. Open the sauna door to allow fresh air to circulate, which helps disperse moisture. Keeping your Oasislux® sauna dry not only preserves the wood but also prevents mold growth.

3. Regular Equipment Checks

The heating equipment and control panels in your Oasislux® sauna are essential components that should be regularly checked. Inspect the performance of the electric heater monthly to ensure heating efficiency and safety. If you notice any irregularities, it's advisable to contact a professional for repairs to ensure the sauna operates smoothly.

4. Wood Maintenance

Oasislux® saunas are crafted from carefully treated red cedar, known for its durability and resistance to moisture. To maintain the natural beauty of the wood, it’s recommended to lightly sand the wood and apply a wood care oil annually. This process enhances the wood’s protective qualities and preserves its shine.

5. Regular Replacement of Accessories

Sauna accessories, such as wooden benches, backrests, and floor mats, should also be regularly inspected and replaced as needed. While Oasislux® accessories are selected and tested for durability, they may still show signs of wear over time. It’s advisable to inspect these accessories annually and replace them when necessary to ensure comfort and safety.

6. Avoid Prolonged Heat Exposure

While the interior of the sauna requires high temperatures, the exterior should avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially during summer. The wood used in Oasislux® saunas is specially treated to withstand environmental factors, but prolonged heat exposure could still cause the wood to crack or warp. Therefore, it’s recommended to use a protective cover or place the sauna in a shaded area when installed outdoors.

Conclusion

Caring for your Oasislux® sauna is not complicated but requires attention and patience. By regularly cleaning, ventilating, checking equipment, and maintaining the wood, your sauna will stay in prime condition, providing you with lasting relaxation. Whether for personal use or commercial settings, proper sauna care not only extends the lifespan of your equipment but also ensures an exceptional sauna experience every time.
