Why You Need to Clean Your Cover?

Neglecting your hot tub cover is one way to throw your money down the drain. When people neglect hot tub covers, you aren’t just dealing with dirt or debris.

If you let your hot tub cover slide on regular cleaning, the dirt will trap moisture and cause mildew and mold to grow. This will create an unpleasant smell and lead to potential health issues from exposure. Also, the cover’s vinyl material can exhibit some early wear and tear if it is not cleaned regularly.

A clean cover is also essential for maintaining the insulation, preventing heat loss and reducing energy consumption. It also will ensure the cover’s vapor barrier is not damaged, preventing any potential damage to the insulation.
