4. Clean the interior of the spa of any remaining con-
struction debris. Remove stubborn stains, paint, or
tar with turpentine, isopropyl alcohol or paint thinner.
A mild liquid dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth
is fine for cleaning off other dirt. Plaster can be
removed by scraping with a soft plastic or wooden
edge. Do not use a metal scraper, wire brush, or other
metal tools, as they will damage the spa’s surface.
