If you are running a brick & mortar or mobile sauna business, a sauna coop, or your own personal backyard sauna retreat, there are only three important rules for being a good sauna host:
RULE #1. Keep the sauna hot.
People go to the sauna bench to sweat. Let them wear their spring jacket when they go to a baseball game.
RULE #2. Keep the sauna hot.
Each time the hot room door opens and closes, the hot room loses heat. We need to stay ahead of this.
RULE #3. Keep the sauna hot.
Consider that each person sitting on the sauna bench is a relative ice cube, 100 degrees cooler than the sauna that you should be keeping hot.
If you are hosting a sauna and your hot room is too hot for someone, they can go sit on the low bench, where it is less hot. It’s ok to be a low bench Larry.
Any other rules to sauna hosting are way down the list to these 3.
- Some yahoo talking too much? Encourage Marty’s Law of Reverse cycling.
- No water in the sauna bucket? Fill it up.
- Changing room has shoes and shit all over the place? Kick them aside.Â
As long as your sauna is hot, you are a being a good sauna host. Stay out of the way and let them sweat.
Your job is to keep the sauna hot.
Good heat is all that really matters.
