Works great, but difficult to clean for re-use
Works great at absorbing a mysterious oily gunk in my hot tub. I am the only person to use it and I don't use oils or lotions. The problem arose after we had decks stained, so perhaps some stain got into the system ? The scumbugs collect the sticky gunk, but I can't seem to clean them even with GooGone Kitchen Cleanser or GooGone Cleaner itself ! I contacted the company, but haven't received a response. Any suggestions ?
