If you have installed a spa in your home, you have made an investment. Now you won’t like your spa to be spoiled within a year. It is not an investment that one makes frequently. You need to ensure that it lasts long. One of the easiest ways to do it is to cover your spa when it is not in use. A spa cover will keep away dirt and debris. It will protect the spa from environmental elements. The cover is especially required if you have installed the spa in an open area.

Just as the cover helps you to keep your spa clean and well maintained, the cover itself also requires maintenance. It is designed to last long but a little maintenance can extend the life of your spa cover. Other than the usual wear and tear, spa covers are prone to mold growth. With proper cleaning and care you can prevent the growth of mold. Clean the spa cover twice a month.

Spa covers cleaning tips:

1. Before you start cleaning the cover you need to remove it. Make sure you use

spa cover lifter to life it.

2. Now spread out the cover on the ground. You should clean it with mild soap. Shops selling spa covers often sell specialized soap for washing the covers. You should wash the cover with a hose and the specialized soap. The areas surrounding the zipper require special attention as these areas are prone to mildew and mold. 

3. If the spa cover has harsh stains, use vegetable oil to remove the stains.

4. Once you wash the cover, thoroughly scrutinize for mold or mildew. If you smell or see any sign of mold, clean it once again to remove the foam cores from the spa cover.

5. The cover needs a few days to be dry out completely.

Always use a cover lifter when you remove or place the cover over the spa. Wipe the inner side of the cover frequently. Never use harsh chemical to clean a spa cover. Regular cleaning and maintenance will keep the cover in shape for time to come.
