1. Just use dish drops.
2. Clean the spa shell & filter. It is recommended to use an acrylic cleaner to clean your spa shell - such as NOVUS, SPRAY AWAY, or CLEAN AND BRITE - do not use soap based cleaners like GLASS PLUS, FANTASTIC, SCRUBBING BUBBLES, etc. These cleaners contain harsh abrasives that might scratch the acrylic spa shell as well the fact that they will leave a soap residue on the spa walls. When you refill the spa, you stand a chance of getting bubbly, soapy water ! Spray cleaner on the spa shell walls, seats and floor and then sponge-clean the entire surface. Dirty water will accumulate in the footwell of the spa. This is OK. Keep your hose and your submersible pump handy. When the dirty water fills up the footwell, simply drop your submersible pump in, and plug it in, and pump out that water. Continue until the spa is very clean. Clean your spa filter cartridge as well. Use the special SPA FILTER CLEANER to do this. Do not use a soap based cleaner on the filter. # 4 - Wax spa shell. It is recommended to use an acrylic wax such as SPA BRITE, NOVUS, HI LITE, etc - do not use any type of CAR WAX or FURNITURE WAX. Using the wrong wax could cause troubles with your spa shell finish as well as cause problems with your water chemistry. Applying spa shell wax with a soft cotton T-shirt works best. Buff to a nice shine. Good Luck !
