– How do wood structures in saunas not rot or get mouldy?

369 views

Combined with hot temperatures, extreme moisture, bodily fluids, and bacteria, how does a typical sauna not completely rot or develop mould? Seems like the wood would be turned into mush with all of these factors.

The sauna gets dry and cool in between uses. Rot and mold requires extended periods of warm and moist conditions.

Also saunas typically get hot enough to destroy some of the microbes. While the sauna is being heated it is not wet, in fact it is very hot and dry before you start throwing water on the stones.
