# Hot Tub Maintenance Tips

### **Cleaning Your Spa**

Soak in your spa’s sparkling clean water by following these simple cleaning tips.

**For the whole spa:** Use a mild non-abrasive, non-sudsing cleaner and a soft rag or nylon scrubber to remove dirt build-up

**For minor surface cleaning:** Use common baking soda to clean small surface areas

**For a shiny look:** Apply **FreshWater Spa Shine** to your clean and dry spa shell

**For spa pillows:** Follow the instructions in your [Owner’s Manual](http://www.hotspring.com/hot-tub-owners/hot-spring-spas-hot-tubs-owners-manuals) to remove and clean your spa pillows

**For vinyl cover:** First remove the cover and spray it lightly with a garden hose to loosen any dirt or debris that might have built up. Then, using a mild soap solution (1 teaspoon dishwashing liquid with 2 gallons water) or baking soda, scrub the vinyl in a circular motion with a large sponge and rinse with a garden hose. Rinse the bottom of the cover without using soap, and wipe it clean with a dry rag. To condition the cover after cleaning, apply a thin film of Hot Spring Cover Shield™product.

**Helpful Hint:** To keep detergent and soap residue out of your spa water, shower without soap before soaking in your spa, and instead of washing your bathing suit use the rinse cycle.
