MAINTAINING YOUR SPA cont...
SPA CABINET CARE
Your spa comes standard with a PermaWood, or faux wood, cabinet.
This cabinet requires no maintenance. You may wish to clean the
cabinet with mild soap and water from time to time. If you elected to
purchase your spa with a wood cabinet, this cabinet is stained and
sealed with an oil based acrylic stain. The stain is formulated
especially for spa cabinet and deck applications and is resistant to
ultraviolet light damage caused by sun rays. It is also resistant to
fungus and insect damage. Your Artesian dealer carries this type of
stain for your convenience, so call your dealer when you’re ready to
re-stain your cabinet. You should re-stain your wood cabinet at least
once a year, or more frequently depending on your environmental
conditions.
1) Gently wash the cabinet with mild soap and water and allow to dry
completely.
2) Moisten a rag with the stain you have purchased from your Artesian
dealer.
3) Apply the stain on the entire cabinet surface, wiping off any excess
stain as you are applying.
4) Allow stain to dry for a minimum of 24 hours before getting the
cabinet wet.
NOTE: Do not apply any solid type nish such as shellac or
varnish. After weathering, these types of nishes will crack and/
or turn yellow. To renish the wood, you will need to completely
strip the nish before applying the new one. Use only the stain
recommended by your Artesian dealer for renishing your spa.
CLEANING YOUR SPA INTERIOR

to help preserve the sheen of your spa’s surface. However, it is
important that you do not use any abrasive cleaners or strong
chemicals. Your Artesian Spas authorized dealer will be able to supply
