Frequently Asked Questions
Q: WHAT IS THE OPTIMAL TIME/TEMPERATURE FOR A TYPICAL SAUNA SESSION?
A: After breaking a sweat, 20-30 minutes is a good session. For the first couple of weeks of sauna use, it is
recommended that you limit your sessions to every other day, at a lower temperature (90-110°F).
Q: CAN I USE MY SAUNA OUTDOORS?
A: For ease of use and impromptu access it is recommended that you locate your sauna indoors. Outside use
is only recommended in certain parts of the country and must be disclosed at the time of purchase. A cedar
wood sauna cabin as well as an outdoor cover is required for outdoor locations in order to maintain your
warranty.
Q: HOW DO I CLEAN MY SAUNA?
A: The areas where sweat may collect can be wiped down with a diluted water and vinegar solution (5:1
ounces) on a damp cloth. Follow up with wiping down the areas with a clean damp cloth containing water
only. To save cleaning time, it is safe to place 100% cotton towels within the sauna to help collect sweat.
Laying one towel over the floor grate is recommended, as well as layering multiple towels on the bench seat.
Q: WHY AM I TOLD NOT TO SET THE TEMPERATURE ABOVE 135°F?
A: To answer a very technical question in simple terms, Far Infrared saunas are a different technology than
traditional hot rock/steam saunas. Infrared saunas are designed to run at lower temperatures because of how
the infrared light heats the body directly, and does not heat the cabin air like traditional saunas do. Setting
the temperature for 90-135°F is ideal as that is the range in which the human body can best absorb infrared
energy, thereby giving you the best results.
