Spa Cover Care & Maintenance Guide

Spa Cover Care & Maintenance Guide

Your spa cover is an investment — proper care will extend its lifespan, maintain its appearance, and help preserve insulation performance.

Why regular cleaning matters

Pollen, leaves, dust, and other debris not only affect the appearance of your cover but can also lead to mold, moss, and material degradation over time.

Regular maintenance helps:

  • Extend the life of your cover

  • Maintain water-repellent properties

  • Prevent mold and surface damage

Routine cleaning (recommended monthly)

Follow these simple steps for regular maintenance:

  1. Rinse the cover with cold water using a garden hose

  2. Apply a mild, pH-neutral, non-foaming cleaner

  3. Gently clean using a soft, non-abrasive sponge

  4. Rinse thoroughly with clean water

  5. Allow the cover to air dry completely

Important:
Do not use detergents, bleach, alcohol, dish soap, or abrasive cleaners. These can damage the protective coating and reduce water resistance.

Removing stubborn dirt & stains

For more persistent dirt, follow these tips:

  • Let a mild cleaner sit for a few minutes before wiping

  • Gently remove moss or mold from seams or zippers with a soft scrubbing pad

  • Remove tree sap using vegetable oil or margarine

  • Open the zipper to check and clean the interior if needed

Protecting your cover

Once the cover is clean and dry, applying a protective treatment can significantly extend its lifespan.

We recommend using a dedicated spa cover cleaner and protector to maintain water repellency, protect against UV exposure, and extend the lifespan of your cover.

Always use a material-specific cleaner:

  • For vinyl covers, use a dedicated vinyl cleaner and protector

  • For textile covers, use a fabric-safe, non-aggressive cleaner

Avoid using general household cleaning products, as they may damage the material and reduce its lifespan.

Protection – WeatherShield fabric

  • Apply evenly to clean, dry fabric until lightly saturated

  • Allow to absorb for 12–24 hours

  • Apply monthly during summer, every 2 months in cooler seasons

Protection – Vinyl covers

  • Apply a thin layer to the underside of the clean, dry cover

  • Spread evenly using a damp cloth or sponge

  • Repeat on the top and sides of the cover

  • Apply monthly during summer, every 2 months otherwise

Final tips

  • Always allow the cover to dry fully before closing

  • Avoid harsh chemicals at all times

  • Regular care will maintain both appearance and performance
