Infrared saunas & hygiene
Infrared saunas induce deep sweating that naturally deposits oils, skin cells, and impurities onto benches, walls and glass. Regular sauna cleaning and infrared sauna maintenance are essential to preserve a hygienic environment and protect the wood surfaces used in Sunlighten saunas.
Choosing cleaning products
Sunlighten offers a purpose-made, non-toxic infrared sauna cleaning solution that is safe on both interior wood and glass surfaces—and is more reliable than generic or multi-purpose household cleaners that may damage wood or void warranties.
- The Natural Cleaning Kit contains a plant-based Sauna Cleaner, Glass Cleaner, a microfiber cloth, and sanding sponge for gentle but effective cleaning and polishing.
- For specialized care, the kit includes separate Natural Wood Cleaner and Natural Glass Cleaner options, each vegan, fragrance-free, and gentle on surfaces.
These cleansers are ideal for infrared sauna cleaning and infrared sauna care, offering antibacterial, antimicrobial, and mold-prevention without harsh chemical residues.
Helpful tools for sauna cleaning include:
- Microfiber cloths – Ideal for gently wiping down wood and glass surfaces without scratching or leaving lint.
- Soft-grit sanding sponges (around 150 grit) – Useful for lightly sanding away sweat stains or residue buildup on wood surfaces.
- Detail brushes or soft sponges – Help reach tight corners, control panels, and seams without damaging materials.
These tools support effective infrared sauna cleaning while preserving the integrity and appearance of your sauna’s interior.
