Cleaning Your Spa

Spa Cover and Pillows

Due to the constant punishment your spa cover and pillows receive, you should protect them by applying
a vinyl and leather cleaner as part of your monthly maintenance plan. Use a product that is specically
designed to protect spa covers and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage without leaving an
oily residue behind that is normally associated with common automotive vinyl protectants.
Warning: Do not use automotive vinyl protectants on spa covers or pillows. These products are gener-
ally oil-based and will cause severe water clarity issues that are difcult to correct.

Spa Shell

Each time you drain your spa, before you rell it you should clean your spa shell with an all-purpose
cleaner and apply a coat of surface protectant.
Use a low detergent, non-abrasive cleaner specically formulated to clean the spa without damaging its
acrylic nish.
Use a non-oil based surface protectant that is specically formulated to protect the spa’s nish from the
chemicals and minerals associated with normal spa use.
