It is not generally recommended that you bring electronic devices into your indoor sauna; however, on your own property, you can elect to bring your electronic devices into the sauna.
Why Shouldn’t I Bring My Devices Into the Sauna
- Temperatures: One of the main reasons why you should not be bringing devices into the sauna is that most phones are not designed to handle such high temperatures. Most saunas usually sit between 150 and 195 degrees Fahrenheit, as these high temperatures are what allow users to reap maximum benefits. The average smartphone can handle up to 115 degrees Fahrenheit before becoming damaged or overheated. In fact, many devices will actually stop functioning if they get too hot.
- Danger: Using any kind of device that is hooked up to an outlet can be very dangerous. Under high temperatures, the risk of electric shock and electrical fires increases. You are also at risk of burns when you bring devices into the sauna. Answering a phone that has been heating up in the sauna can burn your face or hand.
- Moisture Damage: If you choose to use steam in your sauna, whether that be through sauna rocks or a steam device, the excess moisture can damage and corrode electrical devices.
Alternatives to Electrical Devices in the Sauna
- If you want to enjoy music or a podcast in the sauna, invest in a sauna-safe speaker.
- If you want added light, customize your sauna with underbench lighting or extra wall sconces.
- If you want to be easily reachable, keep your phone right outside your sauna with the ringer on so that it is in reach if you are needed.
