All-Purpose Cleaner (Spa finish cleaning)

Cal  Spas™  All-Purpose  Cleaner  is  an 

essential  part  of  maintaining  your  spa’s 

finish. Through normal use, the spa’s finish 

can  accumulate  dirt,  oil,  and  calcium 
causing  a  rough  feel  and  unsightly  scum 
lines. Cal Spas™ All-Purpose Cleaner is a 
low 

detergent, 

non-abrasive 

cleaner 

specifically  formulated  to  clean  the  spa 

without damaging its acrylic finish.

The  most  effective  solution  to  minimize  cleaning  time 
is  prevention.  When  the  following  steps  are  followed, 

the  spa’s  finish  will  actually  start  to  resist  most  of  the 

elements  that  cause  calcium  build-up  and  make  scum 
line clean up easier.

Prior to Spa Start-Up and Refilling

Spray Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly on 

to the spa’s finish.

Wipe clean with a clean soft cloth.

Repeat on heavily calcified areas.

Wipe  spa  thoroughly  with  a  wet  sponge,  rinsing 
often with a bucket of clean water.

Allow spa to dry completely.

Apply a coat of Cal Spas™ Fast Sheen to the spa’s 

entire finish with a soft towel or sponge.

Allow Fast Sheen to dry until white and powdery.

Buff clean with a soft cloth, rotating frequently.

Periodic Maintenance

Spray Cal Spas™ Multi-Purpose Cleaner directly to 

the spa’s finish.

Wipe clean with a clean soft cloth.

Wipe  spa  thoroughly  with  a  wet  sponge,  rinsing 
often in a bucket of clean water.

Cal  Spas™  Multi-Purpose  Cleaner  should  not  be 
sprayed  directly  into  the  spa  water.  Incorrect  usage  of 
this product will cause water clarity issues.

Cleaning the Cover, Shell and 
Pillows

Due  to  the  constant  punishment  your  spa  cover  and 
pillows  receive,  you  should  protect  them  by  applying 
Vinyl  and  Leather  Cleaner  as  part  of  your  monthly 
maintenance  plan.  Cal  Spas™  Vinyl  and  Leather 

Cleaner  is  specifically  designed  to  protect  spa  covers 

and pillows from chemical and ultraviolet light damage. It 
accomplishes this without leaving an oily residue behind 
that  is  normally  associated  with  common  automotive 
vinyl protectants.

Use of Vinyl and Leather Cleaner

Cal Spas™ Vinyl and Leather Cleaner should be used 
sparingly.  Incorrect  usage  may  cause  water  clarity 
issues.

Spa Covers

Remove  spa  cover  from 
spa.

Allow  spa  cover  to  dry 
completely.

Spray  Vinyl  and  Leather 
Cleaner to cover evenly and 
wipe dry.

Allow  spa  cover  to  dry 
completely.

Reinstall cover on spa.

Pillows

Wipe pillows dry with a soft 
cloth.

Carefully  spray  Vinyl  and 
Leather  Cleaner  directly 
onto pillow.

Wipe pillows dry.

Allow 

pillows 

to 

dry 

completely.

Warning: 

Do  not  use  automotive  vinyl  protectants  on 

spa covers or pillows. These products are generally oil-
based and will cause severe water clarity issues that are 

difficult to correct.
