In a public sauna a considerable germ level was found to exist in all areas during rush hours. Although no specifically pathogenic germs were detected on the surfaces, the existence of E. coli would suggest that particular attention must be given to the hygiene of this type of bathing establishment. It is particularly important that the relatively high temperatures in the heated area of the sauna do not cause a hygienically decisive germ reduction. Apart from this, especially the foot-warming basins appear to be undesirable germ reservoirs, even for pathogenic germs (Staph, aureus, P. aeruginosa). Systematic daily disinfection, which is recommended as a basic requirement but which in practice is mostly omitted, proves indispensable. Proper use of the relatively harmless hydrogen peroxide allows the hygienic conditions to be clearly improved, shortly.
在公共桑拿浴室，高峰时段所有区域都发现存在相当数量的细菌。尽管在表面未检测到特定的致病细菌，但大肠杆菌的存在表明必须特别关注这类洗浴场所的卫生状况。特别重要的是，桑拿浴室加热区域相对较高的温度并不会导致具有卫生决定性意义的细菌减少。除此之外，尤其暖脚盆似乎是不良的细菌滋生地，甚至对于致病细菌（金黄色葡萄球菌、铜绿假单胞菌）也是如此。作为基本要求被推荐但在实际中大多被省略的系统日常消毒被证明是必不可少的。正确使用相对无害的过氧化氢能够在短时间内显著改善卫生条件。
