Deep Cleaning Your Ultimate Plunge

Cleaning your Cold Life plunge requires gentle care to prevent damage to the powder-coated finish.

Step 1: Prepare your supplies
Mild dish soap or a gentle cleaner
Soft sponge or microfiber cloth
Water hose or bucket of water
Soft-bristled brush (optional)
Soft towels for drying

Step 2: Assess the condition
Note any areas with visible dirt, grime, or stains that need extra attention.

Step 3: Rinse
Rinse the entire surface with water to remove loose debris.

Step 4: Prepare the cleaning solution
Mix a small amount of mild dish soap with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coat.

Step 5: Wash the surface
Gently wash in small sections, applying light pressure.

Step 6: Stubborn stains
Use a soft-bristled brush if needed, without scrubbing hard enough to scratch the finish.

Step 7: Rinse thoroughly
Remove all soap residue to prevent streaks or spots.

Step 8: Dry
Use soft towels to dry completely. This prevents water spots.

Step 9: Inspect and spot clean

Step 10: Regular maintenance
Routine washing plus prompt spot cleaning keeps the finish in good condition.

Removing calcium or build-up in your drains

Depending on your local water source, calcium can build up in the drains.

Drain the plunge completely by opening the drain valve, then remove any debris from the bottom with a brush or sponge.

Mix equal parts white vinegar and hot water, or use a commercial descaling solution following the manufacturer's instructions.

Pour the solution into the three drains and let it sit 15 to 30 minutes to loosen the deposits.

Flush the drains with hot water to clear any remaining residue.

Repeat if buildup is stubborn, and treat the drains periodically to prevent it returning.
