Northwood Sauna Bucket and Ladle

While the copper body will heat up, the bucket is designed to be placed on the floor or a bench, not held during use. The eucalyptus handle on the ladle is specifically chosen for its heat resistance, ensuring you can safely pour water over your sauna stones.

Copper will naturally develop a patina over time, which many users prefer for its rustic aesthetic. If you want to maintain the original shine, you can use a standard copper cleaner or a simple mixture of lemon juice and salt, followed by a thorough rinse and dry.

Yes, eucalyptus is naturally rot-resistant and performs exceptionally well in the high-humidity, high-heat conditions of a sauna. It is a durable choice that maintains its integrity without warping or splintering over time.

A 4-liter capacity is the industry standard for home saunas, providing enough water for a full session without requiring constant refills. It strikes the right balance between being large enough for steam generation and light enough to carry when full.

It is best practice to empty and dry the bucket after each use. Leaving standing water in the bucket can lead to mineral buildup or water spots on the copper, and drying it helps preserve the longevity of the materials.
