Most often, inexpensive bathhouse accessories such as a ladle and a ladle are made of wood. This pattern is explained by the low thermal conductivity of the material. The ideal species are oak, aspen, and linden.
Before using wooden accessories, you need to soak them with linseed oil or wax.
Metal “brothers” are also bought, but much less often due to their good thermal conductivity. An alternative is to use combination buckets.
Basic accessories for water procedures
To get the maximum benefit from the procedures, it is recommended to choose functional, practical and safe bath accessories. These include brooms, steamers, buckets, ladles, scoops and basins.
Fragrant brooms
The main attribute for a bath is a broom - birch, oak, eucalyptus, pine or nettle - any bunch that increases blood flow, speeds up metabolism, and has a powerful massage effect.
Not only the service life of the product, but also its unique healing properties depends on the correct choice or preparation of a broom.
Steamers, gangs, buckets, tubs and basins
Particular attention is paid to the materials from which cooperage accessories for the bath are made. For this reason, steamers, buckets, buckets and other products are made of wood - oak or larch, which can withstand high heating temperatures and high humidity.
- A steamer for a bath broom is a small container, the main purpose of which is to steam bundles. It is equipped with a special lid with a hole for the broom handle.
- A bathhouse is a multifunctional attribute that is used for steaming brooms and rinsing the body. Cedar, pine and linden trees have a powerful healing effect on the human body.
- Buckets are designed for dousing with cool water after basic bath procedures. Bucket waterfalls are especially popular. They are a special tipping system consisting of a wooden bucket and rope.
- A tub is a convenient and practical thing that is used for taking medical procedures with the addition of aromatic oils and medicinal tinctures, as well as for storing a supply of water.
- Bath basins are most often used for rinsing feet and hands, as well as for dousing the entire body. They are made from various materials, but wooden products are considered more reliable.
To increase the service life of wooden accessories, their surface is carefully treated with natural wax. After use, accessories are rinsed with boiling water and dried to prevent their deformation and mold formation.
Buckets and scoops
It is difficult to imagine bathing procedures without a ladle or ladle - devices that are used to irrigate stones. Wood products require careful handling and proper storage.
To protect against drying out and the negative effects of moisture, the wood is pre-treated with protective impregnations.
- The scoop is intended for collecting water and spraying heated stones located in the heater. It is also used for pouring water into washing containers - buckets, buckets and basins. The scoop design can be made of wooden parts connected to each other with metal hoops and clamps, or cut from a piece of wood.
- The sauna ladle is made from practical and heat-resistant wood - oak, mulberry and ash. The main purpose of the ladle is to water the heater, fill the water reservoir of the stove, and pour over the body during bath procedures. A sauna ladle can also be made of copper and metal; according to experts, such materials are unacceptable for use in steam rooms due to their susceptibility to rapid heating and high humidity. The sauna ladle can be equipped with one long handle (in a horizontal or vertical position) or two small handles.
Accessories for massage
Choose a wooden, plastic or silicone brush for these purposes. In addition to the material of the products, as can be seen in the photo of bath accessories, they differ in length and level of rigidity.
Give preference to natural materials. If used frequently, brushes should be replaced every four to five months.
Aroma oils
In addition, remember to moisturize your skin. After all, any massage is stressful for the skin, in this case aromatic oils come to the rescue.
They are also used to make the air in the steam room more pleasant. For these purposes, it is enough to add a couple of drops to the stones. The calculation is as follows: use 10 drops per 1.5 liters of water.
For healthy relaxation, it is important to use aromatic oils; their benefits are explained by their disinfectant properties. A set of plant extracts such as ginger, lavender, fir lifts your mood and vitality.

Additional accessories for procedures and relaxation
Equally important are the devices that allow you to create comfortable conditions for bathing procedures. These include rugs, ladders, headrests, washcloths and brushes.
Headrests
To get the healing effect of visiting the steam room, the main procedures are carried out in a lying position. This promotes rapid relaxation and uniform distribution of temperature over the entire surface of the body.
For these purposes, bath headrests of various shapes and sizes are used, made of wood with a low thermal conductivity coefficient - birch, linden and cedar. Fabric headrests filled with medicinal herbs are very popular.
Rugs and ladders
When visiting a steam room, it is important to observe the rules of personal hygiene and use special devices - rugs and ladders.
- The steam room rug is made of wood, felt or sheep wool. The product is used as a flooring for heated benches, shelves and bath floors. This device reliably protects the skin from burns and damage.
- The ladder is a wooden lattice made of linden and alder, which is installed on the floor in the steam room. It reliably protects your feet from overheating, slipping and burns. In addition, the gentle massage effect of the foundation on the feet leads to relaxation and recovery.
Brushes and sponges
Such devices are designed to keep the skin clean during bath procedures.
- The washcloth gently cleanses the top layer of skin from impurities and dead cells, improves blood flow, massages and tightens the skin. Natural and synthetic versions of washcloths are suitable for the bath; the former are expensive and safe, the latter are cheap, durable and practical.
- The brush is used to massage the back, thighs, arms and feet. Wood, plastic and silicone are suitable for making such accessories. When choosing a product, take into account the stiffness of the bristles and the length of the handle.
Devices
Don’t neglect purchasing a thermometer, hygrometer, or watch. Thanks to the presence of these accessories, you will be able to control the air condition. Here we are talking about spending time safely, because relying solely on your own feelings is not always right.
For their manufacture, wood and heat-resistant plastic are selected. It is prohibited to buy thermometers with mercury in the bathhouse.
A capillary, dial, or electronic thermometer will be safe. The last option is characterized by the greatest accuracy and practicality.
When choosing a watch, rely on your own preferences. Any design will do. The hourglass fits perfectly into the style of the room. They are also quite convenient for measuring time.
Slippers
The floor in the bathhouse is wet, so choose non-slip slippers. It is recommended not to take plastic shoes as they slip on the tiles. Rubber shoes for a bath are more suitable.
It is better that each visitor has his own slippers.
It's no secret that fungus can easily be transmitted through shoes; in addition, if you wear shoes that are several sizes too large, you can easily get tangled in them and fall. Slippers that are too small also reduce stability.
