Professional Pool & Spa Cleaning & Detailing Packages
A quick skim isn't enough for a hot tub. Our spa cleaning services go deep, often involving a drain-and-clean to remove biofilm buildup in the pipes and grime from the shell. We service private homes, holiday rentals, and commercial facilities, making sure that every user steps into safe, crystal-clear water.
When you hire a spa cleaner from Direct Pool Supplies, you get the benefit of professional-grade chemicals. We use specialised degreasers and sanitisers from our retail stock to strip away body oils and contaminants that standard household cleaners can't touch. We leave your spa smelling fresh and looking brand new.

Frequently Asked Questions
The most effective way to clean a spa is a full drain–clean–refill rather than just adding more chemicals. A thorough clean typically involves: draining the spa, running a pipe degreaser to flush out oils and residue in the plumbing, descaling and sanitising the shell and jets, cleaning the cover, then refilling with fresh water and rebalancing the chemistry. This is exactly the type of “showroom clean” service offered through Direct Pool Supplies’ spa cleaning and drain-clean-refill service.
For most residential spas, a deep clean and water change every 3–4 months works well, with lighter in-between care (wiping the waterline, rinsing filters, checking sanitizer levels) weekly. Heavy use, lots of bathers or holiday rental spas may need more frequent professional cleans to keep the water fresh and the shell free from scale and scum.
A professional spa clean is a full reset, not just a quick wipe. A typical Direct Pool Supplies spa clean can include:
- Running a pipe degreaser through the plumbing to break down oils and biofilm
- Draining the spa and hosing out residue
- Descaling and sanitising the shell, jets and fittings
- Cleaning the spa cover and waterline scum
- Refilling the spa, re-installing the filter and balancing the water to safe levels
Technicians can also flag any equipment issues and recommend follow-up servicing if needed.
For a very dirty spa – cloudy, smelly water or heavy build-up around the shell and jets – the process is more intensive. Technicians will usually:
- Flush the pipework with a strong pipe degreaser
- Drain the spa completely and scrub the interior to remove scale and grime
- Rinse and wipe surfaces to remove any remaining residue
- Refill via the filter box to avoid air locks, then shock and balance the water
In severe cases, they may advise repeating parts of the process or pairing the clean with a full Spa Servicing visit to check pumps, heaters and controls.
Even with good chemical care, spa water eventually gets loaded with dissolved solids and bather waste. Direct Pool Supplies’ spa care guide notes that spa water generally stays fresh for around 3–4 months before it should be completely drained and replaced, and many independent spa guides recommend a similar 3–6 month window depending on bather load. If the water is cloudy, has a persistent odour or is hard to balance, it’s often a sign it’s time for a full drain and refill.
Spa cleaning and ongoing care usually involve a mix of spa-specific chemicals, such as:
- Spa pipe degreaser for internal pipework
- Spa shock to oxidise bather waste and refresh the water
- Sanitiser (chlorine, bromine or approved chlorine-free systems)
- Balancers for pH, alkalinity and calcium hardness
- Clarifiers and anti-foam as needed to clear cloudy or foamy water
Direct Pool Supplies stocks a full range of spa chemicals and accessories, including spa-safe cleaning pads and maintenance kits designed not to scratch the shell.
