The Dangers of Being Careless With Your Spa Cover


So you have a spa cover, but do you really care enough to maintain it? Well, if not then there are a few things that need your immediate attention. There are several ways in which you might be hampering this important spa accessory by being careless about it. Some of these are:





•    Building of mildew or grass
You might not even know it but the skin irritation that you might have been facing lately, could be because of the improper cleaning of your swim spa cover. Due to this negligence, building up of grasses under the covers becomes a common problem. Therefore, in order to avoid those rashes or burning eye sensation, make sure that you open your hot tub cover regularly and clean it to prevent the formation of mildew under it.

•    Smell that doesn’t go away
There are many reasons of this foul, musty odor that persists inside a spa cover, and one of these reasons is the growth of bacteria or mold on its underside. So, it is absolutely important for every hot tub owner to clean the inside of the cover and apply a 303 Protectant regularly.

•    Excessive exposure to the sun
The harmful UV rays of the sun might have been damaging your valued spa cover, resulting in its fading and/or cracking. Thus, it goes without saying that offering adequate protection from sunlight is necessary. To do this, using a protectant can be advantageous, which may lead to years of good use of your spa.
