Hot Tub Cover

Any good recommendations for cleaning cover? Our cover seems to smell musky once folded back.

See no one has offered any help yet so I am going to make a suggestion. I am not a Spa owner yet, but have an idea from other experiences. Wash the cover well. Spray down with Lycol air freshener and let set open. I would check if there is a sealant or conditioner for the matterial on your cover and apply a coat if available.

Pristine Blue makes a product called Pristine Mist that eliminates odor from the cover. See if you dealer carries a similar product or order it at Pristineblue.com

I had a similar issue, and I just clean the top of my spa (where it meets the cover) and the cover with anti bacterial wipes about once a week. Be careful not to get the chemicals from the wipes directly in the water though, they'll cause foam. What is happening is; the condensation on the cover is getting caught where the two surfaces meet and that water can't be cleaned by your sanitizer, so it starts to smell. Just kill the germs and it'll be fine again. You could even use a little of your spa water right after you shock it with Dichlor and that should work too. If I use my spa daily I just dry the two surfaces after use, and it never smells. It is only a problem when the spa sits for more than a day or so with out those surfaced drying.
