You will need:
Using a very small amount of mild detergent on a soft cloth, start gently rubbing the hot tub cover to free up and dirt trapped in the vinyl. Tree sap can be removed by using a little vegetable oil.
Rinse with plenty of water from your hosepipe or watering can & dry using a soft towel.
Your hot tub cover should now look clean and dirt free.
Now to apply suncream to your hot tub cover. OK it's not actual suncream, but it has the same purpose. Cover protector protects your hot tub cover from the harmful UV rays, deeply cleanses it and adds vital plasticisers back into the cover. It also repels the dirt, making it easier to keep clean.
To apply the cover protector, simply spray on and wipe dry.
You are now ready to clean the underside of your hot tub cover. I have found that the easiest way to do this is in two halves. Open the cover up one side, clean it using the steps below, the flip it over to clean the other half.
If you have a cover lifter fitted, this can still be done. Once you have cleaned the first half, close the lid back up and lift the arm of the cover lifter that is resting across it and open the other side up.
Using another soft cloth or soft brush, apply a small amount of spa surface cleaner to the underside of the cover. It is important that you do not use anything that will cause foam to enter the hot tub. The spa surface cleaner will provide some protection against mildew build up, which is why I use it. Dry it with a soft towel and viola - back to being ready to play in again!
