Troubleshooting
Cleaner not removing stubborn grime
Ensure the cleaner is applied directly to the grime and allowed sufficient dwell time as per product instructions. For very tough build-up, a second application or gentle scrubbing with a soft brush might be necessary.
Residue left on surfaces after cleaning
Rinse the cleaned surfaces more thoroughly with clean water. Ensure all traces of the cleaner are removed before drying.
Surface appears dull after cleaning
This could indicate residue or that the surface needs a dedicated spa polish. Ensure thorough rinsing. If the dullness persists, consider a spa polish designed for the specific material.
Product seems to be irritating skin
Wear gloves during application. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult the product's safety data sheet or manufacturer.
