4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will help preserve the natural beauty and longevity of your Karibu Premium Headrest.
- Cleaning: After each use, especially in a sauna environment, wipe the headrest with a clean, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth to remove any soap residue.
- Drying: Allow the headrest to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing or next use. Do not expose it to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may cause the wood to dry out or crack.
- Storage: Store the headrest in a dry, cool place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.
- Wood Care: As the headrest is made of natural wood, it may benefit from occasional treatment with a wood-specific oil or wax designed for sauna accessories to maintain its finish and prevent drying. Consult a wood care specialist if unsure.
