Care & Maintenance

To best preserve and enhance your investment, be sure to wipe down the interior and vacuum as needed. Maintenance products, such as the heater and sauna cleaners and exterior sauna stains are additional recommendations on how to best preserve your sauna. 

On an annual basis, it is recommended you hand vacuum the heater cavity, clean or replace heater stones as needed, and use a low-pressure wash on the exterior of the sauna. For barrel saunas, check the exterior for loose parts. Find additional information on how to best care for and maintain your sauna here.

FAQs

What is the advantage of a larger diameter barrel like the Seneca?

Our standard barrels have a diameter of 71”, while our larger barrels, including the Seneca, have a diameter of 80”.

Timeless Barrel Sauna Design

We first started making our signature Barrel Sauna nearly 40 years ago, and it’s become a popular option on our product line ever since. The Barrel Sauna is assembled using a ball-and-socket profile held in place by stainless steel bands and minimal fasteners, the significance of this configuration being that it maintains a reliable seal while allowing the lumber to expand and contract. The entire unit is mounted on polymer support cradles that loft the undercarriage of the sauna and keep it from coming in direct contact with any moisture on the ground.

Best of the Best

In 2022 we bought our second barrel sauna from Almost Heaven. We had gotten our first one several years ago and enjoyed it at our previous home; after we moved in 2019 and built a deck on our new house, I quickly found that I could not live without my sauna, so I contacted Almost Heaven and ordered our second one--a Seneca. Since Almost Heaven had by then moved to Lewisburg, WV, where we now live, I was able to pick up my new sauna directly from the manufacturing facility, meet the boss, and tour the operation. From these two experiences I can say without hesitation that the folks I dealt with, the service provided, and the product received were all absolutely outstanding. The Seneca I now have (and my previous sauna too) is exceptionally well crafted, works perfectly, smells great, looks marvelous, and adds immeasurably to my personal health and well-being. I use it almost every day in every kind of weather, always with the same result: complete satisfaction. I truly love it. This is literally the first review I have ever written and I am doing it because this is a great company that sells a great product that exceeds expectations.

Great product / great service

My experience with Kalyn and the Almost Heaven Senaca Sauna team was great. All my upfront questions were answered in great detail before my purchase. The sauna arrived timely and set up was relatively easy. The customer service folks were easy to reach and answer any questions including the electrical and keypad setup in great detail. Great product and customer service, highly recommend.
