🌲 Why Cedar is Ideal for Saunas

Cedar is naturally resistant to rot, insects, and moisture — making it one of the best choices for outdoor saunas.


🧼 Cleaning Routine

  • Interior: Wipe benches and walls with a damp cloth after each use
  • Exterior: Rinse with a hose every few months to remove dust and pollen

🛡️ Protection & Preservation

  • Apply a UV-protective wood oil once a year to prevent fading
  • Keep foliage trimmed back to allow airflow around the sauna

💡 Pro Tip: Never use harsh chemicals inside your sauna — steam will amplify the fumes.
