How to Use an Infrared Sauna
- Infrared saunas operate at lower ambient temperatures than traditional steam units, typically between 100 and 140 degrees. Allow 10–15 minutes for warm-up before entering.
- Hydrate before, during and after sessions since perspiration increases significantly.
- Bring towels inside to wipe away moisture and protect wood surfaces.
- Wear minimal clothing during sessions to allow comfortable heat exposure.
How Long to Use Your Infrared Sauna
Begin by establishing a routine with two weekly sessions lasting 10–15 minutes. Gradually increase session duration toward 30–40 minutes as comfort improves. Limiting use to no more than twice daily helps maintain balanced heat exposure.
How to Clean Your Infrared Sauna
- Scrub and rinse benches, backrests and walls with fresh water after use to reduce buildup and odor.
- Vacuum or sweep floors regularly to remove debris or hair. Clean weekly or biweekly, depending on usage frequency.
- Use towels or sauna cushions to protect wood surfaces from sweat staining.
- Natural ingredients such as lemon or essential oils refresh interior scents without introducing harsh chemicals.
- Apply 70% alcohol periodically to disinfect surfaces and discourage mold or bacterial growth.
Infrared Sauna Maintenance & Repair
- Infrared saunas require minimal upkeep when maintained consistently.
- Sauna cushions help protect seating surfaces and should be washed after each use.
- Sweep flooring frequently to prevent dirt accumulation.
- Use high-grit sandpaper to remove minor stains or marks from wood surfaces.
- If seating becomes unstable or warped, discontinue use and replace components promptly.
- Consult a qualified sauna technician before refinishing or making structural adjustments.
Infrared Sauna Safety Guidelines
- Infrared heat produces warmth without ultraviolet exposure, but responsible operation is important.
- Lock units when not in use to prevent unsupervised access.
- Avoid chemical cleaners, as residue can vaporize when heated.
- Limit sessions to 40 minutes to reduce overheating risk.
- Maintain hydration before and after use to offset fluid loss through perspiration.
Infrared Sauna Electrical Information
- GE-1 and GE-2 models require a 15-amp, 110-volt outlet, which is common in most homes. Dedicate an outlet to avoid circuit overload.
- GSE-2, GSE-3, GSE-3C and GSE-4 models require a desiccated 20-amp, 110-volt outlet. Desiccated outlets use turned plugs and require a 12-gauge power cord for safe operation.
