FAQs
How do you regulate the temperature within a wood-fired sauna?
Our saunas typically reach 70-90C over the course of 1-2 hours. Once in this range, the sauna heat can be easily maintained by adding additional firewood when the sauna stove is low. Heat can be increased above this range by adding additional wood more frequently, dampening down the flue, and adding water to the sauna rocks. Reducing sauna heat is as simple as leaving the exterior door ajar.
How difficult is it to fire-up a wood-burning stove?
Our wood-burning stoves are known for being some of the most efficient sauna stoves on the market. This means that once the stove is lit, very little maintenance is needed to bring the sauna up to the desired temperature. On average 3-4 logs need to be added between lighting & using the sauna. If you have never used a stove before, you will still be able to operate this sauna. Each sauna delivery includes hands-on instruction for how to light & operate the sauna, as well as a guide manual which details the operating instructions and reminders.
How do you keep your saunas clean?
Our saunas are always cleaned between clients. Each sauna is inspected, wiped down, and vacuumed out between users. We use only non-toxic cleaners inside the sauna- for the health of our saunas and our guests. In addition, the high temperatures inside the sauna prevents bacteria and viruses from surviving on sauna surfaces or in the heated sauna air. As a result, our sauna users encounter a clean and comfortable environment… and often comment on the wonderful smell of fresh cedar and pine as they enter the sauna.
Where can we place the sauna trailer?
Toasty Sauna trailers can be parked just about anywhere. In general, we require about a 12’ height clearance, fairly flat/level ground, and a minimum of 10ft width so that your guests can comfortably navigate to the doors. Length requirements depend on the size of the sauna. More information can be found here in our Sauna Trailer Guide.
How do I make a reservation?
Private rentals are booked thru our inquiry page links. We will send you our order forms to be filled out and returned. We charge a deposit at time of order, which is completely refundable if you cancel/change your order 30 or more days before delivery. The remainder of the rental fee is due in advance of the sauna delivery date.
Open sauna sessions are reserved thru our home page and online reservation calendar. You may also reach out to us with any questions via email at inquires@toastymobilesaunas.com
Does someone need to be onsite when the sauna is delivered?
It is not required for someone to be onsite, but we highly recommend it. If someone is unable to meet us at the delivery location we request for the drop of location to be clearly marked and to have at least 1 backup location in case the first location is unsuitable. We also like to meet our clients and show them how to operate the sauna.
Hi! I am new to sauna! What is expected when I sign up for an open sauna session?
We love for our guests to feel comfortable and happy- these tips make everyone’s experience more enjoyable:
Please ladle fresh, clean water onto the rocks when you enter and exit a sauna occupied by other guests to help maintain a constant temperature and humidity within the sauna
Please arrive clean and shower or rinse off prior to entering the sauna
Please leave shoes on the deck outside of the sauna
Two towels are expected for guests. One for sitting on, and one for staying dry. Bring your own towels, or rent from us
Please be mindful of other guests and their preference for a quiet session or a social visit
