Cleaning a sauna

The importance of maintaining a high level of hygiene in saunas cannot be overstated. Just like in spas and swimming pool areas, saunas provide a warm and humid environment that can quickly become a breeding ground for harmful microbes, especially with an increasing number of visitors.

  6. Spread the cleaning agent solution on the floor and wash the floor with an abrasive tool, in larger spaces use a single-disc machine or a scrubber dryer

Please note that these instructions are for cleaning public saunas with professional methods.

Cleaning steam saunas or infrared saunas

If the usage rate of a steam sauna is high (for example during peak season), it must be washed several times a day. In daily cleaning surfaces are washed with a disinfecting cleaning agent. Deposits easily accumulate on the surface of the steam room, which can be removed with an acidic cleaning agent.

Infrared saunas must be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pay attention to the special requirements of infrared devices. As a cleaning agent, a general cleaning agent is often enough, and the method is wiping and mopping.
