    Just like anything wearing away from the sun, rain, or other weather elements, its too late to get it back to perfect condition. But, you can make it look better by rubbing on a wax or solution, similar to the stuff that you put on car interiors. If the hot tub cover is leather, plastic, vinyl or the like, you can use any polish that deals with that, even the car ones. You can find it at any store you buy products like that i.e. Target. And, when trying to restore like you said you already tried, you may need to apply the Armor All at least once a month not just once a year.

    How do you re-build a hot tub cover?
    My hot tub cover was destroyed by a storm and I don’t have the 380.00 bucks to replace it. How would I go about building one?

    How do I get rid of mold smell on a styrofoam hot tub cover?
    I just moved into a house that has a hot tub- I was thrilled! However, after opening the cover, I have discovered it (the cover, not the hot tub) was COVERED in mold. I have scrubbed it with vinegar, cleaning solutions, and bleach. The mold is gone now, but nothing has worked to get rid of the smell. I think the cover is made of foam or styrofoam, but can’t open it to see inside to tell. Does anybody know how to get rid of this smell?

    Thank you!

    What is the best way to restore/treate a weathered hot tub cover?
    The cover on our hot tub is about five years old and is moderately weathered.

    By “weathered” I mean the brown color has faded in some spots and the top itself is more coarse to the touch than when it was new.

    I treated it with some Armor All leather product about a year ago but it didn’t work as well or for as long as I had hoped.

    Looking for recommendations for a better way ..

    I’m giving the tub a major pre cold weather going-over this week.

    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Hello, Shipping is a killer. Since your right next door I would recomend a company in Hayesville nc named Spa & Boat covers. Their number is 828 389-3336. Go with their 2# density foam. I have ordered several from them and have been happy.

    Build a framework then fasten a cover over it.
    The easiest for you to make on a budget might be to construct a framework using 1 1/2″ diameter PVC plastic pipe and fittings. It’s light-weight yet sturdy, easy to cut and fit together and will never rust, rot or splinter. If you’re not familiar with it, a trip to Lowe’s or Home Depot and a quick how-to lesson from one of their people and you’ll see how easy it is to work with.
    You cut the pipe to length with a hack saw, select the appropriate angle fittings (90, 45 or 22 degree) and glue the pipe and fittings together to form the proper shape for your tub.
    After the frame is built you fasten your selected cover material to it. You can use simple plastic tarp material, rubberized canvas or whatever your budget allows. Stretch the material over the frame, wrapping it around the the pipe almost a complete revolution then fastening it to the pipe using something like 1/2″ long #8 self-tapping pan-head screws placed about 8″ apart. That will make a decent, light-weight cover that should last a long time.
    If you have a few more bucks to spend you can make a cover using pressure-treated pine lumber ( 2″x2″x8′ boards for the frame and 1/2″ thick plywood for the cover material.). It will be much heavier but will take more abuse than a fabric cover.
    If that isn’t enough detail to help you, shoot me an e-mail.
