you with the proper cleaning solution for your spa. After cleaning, make 
sure all residues are removed prior to filling the spa. This will help pre-
vent sudsing and improper chemical balance.
COVER CARE
Cleaning of your spa cover  is an important part of routine 
maintenance. Dirt acts as an abrasive to the vinyl topcoat, and can also 
cause wear to folds, seams, and stitching.  Mildew growing on damp, 
dirty vinyl will begin to actually root in the fabric, accelerating failure.
Follow this simple routine for cleaning, prior to application of vinyl
1) Rinse with cool water using a garden hose.
2) Spray with a gentle, non-foaming cleaner and wipe clean.  Never use 
laundry detergent, abrasives, alcohols, dish soaps or harsh cleaners.  
These can actually remove some of the topcoat and cause premature 
vinyl failure.
3) For stubborn dirt, use a non-abrasive sponge.
4) Rinse again thoroughly with water and allow to dry.
5) Repeat monthly, or as needed.  
Your vinyl cover is affected by the UV in sunlight. Periodic protectant 
with a liquid protectant will extend the life of your spa cover. The wrong 
kind of protectant can be more harmful then no protectant at all. Keep 
any product away from your spa that is labeled “flammable,” that con-
tains any type of oil, or that leaves a waxy coating on your cover.
Never stand or sit on the cover and never drag it over abrasive surfaces. 
Lift cover only by the handles provided.
