Take Care

The intense conditions inside a sauna can take a toll on wood, with benches constantly exposed to sweat, body oils, dirt, and moisture. Over time, this can cause the wood to dry out, crack, and become harder to clean. With the right care, you’ll protect your sauna’s wood, keeping it smooth, durable, and easier to maintain, so it stays in top condition for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between sauna wood oil and sauna wood wax?

Sauna Wood Wax is our pharmaceutical grade mineral oil blended with natural beeswax and vitamin E. The oil soaks deep into the wood fibers, and the beeswax adds a water-repellent layer. Pure Sauna Wood Oil is the best choice for general protection across the whole sauna. Use the wax on benches, backrests and door handles that see more sweat and water.

How much area does a bottle of sauna wood wax cover?

The Sauna Wood Wax page lists about 75-100 sq ft per 16oz bottle, 100-200 sq ft per 32oz and 600-800 sq ft per gallon. Your actual coverage depends on the wood type, its condition and how thick you apply it. Wood that has been treated before needs less product to recoat.

How do you apply wax to sauna benches?

Clean the benches, let them dry, and sand lightly if they need it. Shake the bottle, then wipe on an even coat with an applicator pad or cotton cloth. Let it soak in for about an hour and buff off any excess. Heat the sauna for one hour before you use it. You can add more coats for extra protection.

Will sauna wood wax change the color of my wood?

Slightly, depending on the species. Treated wood looks a lot like wet wood. Pine and spruce show more grain and a matte finish with little color change, while cedar can darken to richer tones. Test the wax first in a hidden spot, such as the underside of a bench.

Does sauna wood wax smoke or smell when the sauna heats up?

No. When you apply it as directed, Sauna Wood Wax won't smoke, and it has no added fragrance, so the sauna keeps its natural wood smell. Smoke means a treated surface is overheating (300°F+) or there are drips on the stove or stones. Keep wax off the ceiling and off walls near the stove, and wipe away any excess.
