What to do if my sauna smells bad?

If your Homsido sauna has an unpleasant smell, it could be due to a buildup of moisture, sweat, or even mildew. It's vital to tackle this issue promptly because it can affect your overall sauna experience and health. Regular maintenance and proper cleaning can help prevent odors from developing.

To resolve the smell, start by cleaning the sauna thoroughly, including benches and the floor, using a mixture of vinegar and water. Ventilate the sauna by keeping the door open after each use to allow fresh air to circulate. If the smell persists, check for any signs of mold or mildew in hidden areas and address them immediately.

For example, if you notice a musty odor, it may indicate trapped moisture; ensure that the sauna dries completely after use. You can also place a small bowl of baking soda in the sauna to absorb odors when not in use.

Pro Tip: Regularly inspect your sauna for leaks or condensation issues to prevent smells from recurring.

Consideration: If the odor continues despite cleaning, it may indicate deeper issues within the sauna’s structure that could require professional assessment.
