  • Page 18 Frequently Asked Questions CLEANING Yes, cleaning is needed! Perspiration and dirt may absorb into the wood so periodic cleaning is needed. Scrubbing the benches and floorboards with a stiff brush and mild detergent is normally sufficient. Light sanding with 220 grit sandpaper can also be used for heavy staining or water marks. INTERIOR PAINT OR STAIN You should never apply any paint or stain to the interior of your sauna! Off-gassing from these products could be harmful to your health when the room is heated.
