How to Care for Infrared Sauna Wood

Infrared saunas were designed for detoxing the body, and they come in all different sizes. These types of saunas were originally made from cedar. Because cedar has a natural tolerance for high heat and water--and because it's able to withstand the elements very well--it is the ideal material for saunas. Infrared sauna wood needs to be cleaned often to remove toxins, dirt, grime and perspiration. This is very simple to do. However, this is only one step in maintaining your Infrared Sauna.

Tips & Warnings

  • Making users wear or sit on towels in the sauna will help cut down on dirt, grime, and perspiration build-ups within the sauna. Remember to clean the heater and the rocks. You should also wash and replace the towels. Give the sauna a good sweeping first if there is a lot of dirt and debris on the floor.
