3 Simple Tips To Help Your Sauna Room Get Going For Years
by Northern Lights Cedar Barrel Sauna Manufacturer & Supplier of Barrel Saunas in CanadaFor
many fitness freaks and exhausted individuals, a session spent in the
sauna room is the best way to relax and get into the mood after draining
out of energy. Though these luxury fixtures have been a usual thing in
Europe for some time now, but they have started to get famous in the
U.S. as well, as a number of people visit sauna rooms on a daily basis.
But
with the rejuvenating effect of sauna rooms comes lack of knowledge and
experience as well. Even with the availability of best possible
instructions, sauna users can make expensive or risky operational and
maintenance mistakes when it comes to running these fixtures for years.
Here are a few things to take into account.
1. Thoroughly clean and wipe for proper sanitation
Sauna rooms will be more enjoyable if the floor has been tightly sealed and suitable wood preservative has been applied to selective parts (floor, benches and door handles). Under normal temperature condition, a thorough wash of the floor a number of times every year will maintain its sanitation. The sauna benches can be cleaned extensively with a mild liquid cleaner in a mix with water to get rid of any build up and sweat stains from the wood.
It
is recommended by expert to give your sauna room a thorough clean once
in a week and be sure to give attention to areas under the benches where
perspiration may accumulate fast. If your sauna has wood gloss finish,
then stay away from using harsh cleaning products on the wood as ammonia
and other harmful chemicals may be present to damage its color. Of
course, one easy way for you to preserve your sauna room's cleanliness
and provide comfort to users at the same time is by using double layered
clothes on the benches to sit on and wash them more often.
2. Care and maintain sauna heater too
The
rocks and sauna heater that make your sauna room functional should be
cared properly, otherwise may give rise to safety concerns. One tip that
should be strictly imposed is that no liquid other than water should be
poured over its rocks. Not only it can have a damaging effect on the
heating element below, but can cause a fire hazard. Keep a bucket full
of water along with dipper in the sauna, so that users can have it all
the time for use.
The
sauna rocks should be sprinkled with water, and the outer shell of your
sauna heater should be wiped with a mild cleaner regularly. Consider
removing the broken rocks if any as they would accumulate debris ending
in damaging the heater. Even while replacing the broken rocks, don’t go
on packing them in too close and too tight as the airflow will decrease,
causing the emergency shutoff to turn on.
3. Take safety measures
It
is needless to say that safety should be your top priority while caring
and maintaining your sauna room. The fast shooting temperatures in
combination with the inbuilt privacy and without proper supervision,
when the sauna room is in use may create security risks if the
appropriate safety measures aren't in place. Most of today’s modern
sauna rooms are equipped with emergency shutoff devices to help the
heater deactivate in case the temperature goes beyond an upper limit.
You should inspect these devices regularly to make sure that they are
operational. If required, you can keep them somewhere where they won’t
be accessible to users, so as to prevent them from being tampered with
or immobilized.
If
you have a smart home using building automation systems, it may be
useful to add an extra layer of protection for sauna users with
installation of an alarm that would warn about exceeding the upper
temperature limit. Also, you can adjust the settings to make the sauna
rooms operate only during a specific hour. Don’t forget to check for
wood warping, splitting or damage in the sauna door as it would make
opening and closing the sauna difficult.
