Step-by-step guide to sauna and spa maintenance

Keeping a sauna or spa in optimal conditions is not only crucial to meet health standards, but also to prolong the life of these spaces and improve the user experience.

Below is a detailed guide to sauna and spa maintenance, including specific steps and recommendations for each task. At Jujuju you will find all the products and services you need to keep your spaces in proper condition.

Steps for sauna maintenance

1. Surface cleaning and debris removal:

The most important step when cleaning the sauna is to remove surface dirt and loose particles.

• Step 1: Use a hoover to remove surface dirt from the floor and wooden surfaces.
• Step 2: Sweep hard-to-reach areas to remove any debris not picked up by the hoover.
• Note: Make sure that neither the hoover nor the broom scratches the wood or surfaces.

2. Scrubbing and removing dirt or sweat stains:

Then, we continue to disinfect the wooden surfaces and other components of the sauna.

• Step 1: Use a damp cloth to wipe surfaces with a high-level disinfectant, such as ‘BAC CLINIC’.
• Step 2: Spray the pure disinfectant onto the wood and leave for at least 3 minutes.
• Step 3: Wipe with a clean cloth until the disinfectant evaporates.
• Frequency: Carry out this cleaning at least once a week if the sauna is used regularly.

3. Disinfect ventilation areas and the rest of the installation:

We have to ensure the complete cleanliness of the sauna interior, including less visible areas.

• Step 1: Disinfect the seats, walls and floor of the sauna.
• Step 2: Do not forget to clean the internal accessories and fittings.
• Frequency: At least once a week for saunas in regular use.

4. Check and maintain heaters and stones:

Ensuring the correct functioning of the heating elements is an essential step to avoid dirt accumulation.

• Step 1: Check the glow plugs and stones regularly to avoid build-up of particles or dirt.
• Step 2: Clean any dirt with a brush and hot water.
• Frequency: Perform this task periodically depending on sauna usage.

5. Scent the environment:

Last but not least, eliminate residual odours from cleaning products and use neutral scented cleaners.

• Step 1: Once cleaning is complete, use a suitable fragrance to remove chemical odours.
• Frequency: Each time a deep cleaning is performed.

Steps for the maintenance of spas

Regular cleaning and maintenance ensures a healthy environment, prevents the build-up of bacteria and germs, and ensures that all components are working properly, here is a step-by-step guide to maintaining your spa properly.

1. Ozone filtration and disinfection system

The main step is to keep the water clean and free of bacteria.

• Filtration system: Use a filtration pump to recirculate the water and trap impurities in a filter cartridge. At Jujuju we have purification pumps and electrolysis systems to control the salt in the water.
• Ozone disinfection system: Activate the ozonator to transform the oxygen in the air into ozone, eliminating bacteria.

2. Use of appropriate chemicals

Maintaining the chemical balance of the spa water is ideal to avoid skin and eye irritation, especially if it is to be used with children, as they tend to have more sensitive skin.

• Step 1: Use bromine instead of chlorine to avoid skin and eye irritation.
• Step 2: Follow the instructions in the spa-specific product kits for initial and maintenance water treatment.

3. Cleaning the acrylic and the heated lid

Clean and keep the spa surface clean and free of germs.

• Step 1: Wipe the spa acrylic after each drain with a clean, damp cloth.
• Step 2: Clean the thermal cover every 1-2 months and the side skirts every 2-4 months.

4. Emptying and storage

Beware of water stagnation when the spa is not in use for an extended period of time.

• Step 1: Empty the spa if it will not be used for more than 2 months.
• Step 2: Disconnect and properly store the components to protect them from damage.
• Important fact: If the pool will not be used for a short period of time, we recommend that you cover it during this time of disuse for less than 2 months, you can find pool covers in our shop.

Keeping a sauna or spa clean and in good condition is essential for the health and well-being of the people who use it and increases the durability and performance of our equipment.
