Optima Cover

[bethshar]

I just noticed a couple of spots on the inside corner of my cover that look like mildew spots.  Any advice on how to clean them.  Also, the inside of the cover is fading where it is exposed to the water - or the air above the water.  Should this happen?  Thanks-

A mixture of baking soda and water will take care of the mildew on the cover, just wash the inside of the cover with this solution.  As for the spots........could be caused from ozone off-gasing, gases given off after shocking (oxidation process produces gases).......Over time the inside of the cover (portion that faces the water) will fade.

The inside of the Optima cover is a light gray and will fade a little where exposed to the water.  The spots that look like mildew, I believe, are not mildew and will be difficut to wash off.
