Other things to note
There are options for laundry at CD One cleaners in Des Plaines. The laundry is locked in the in-law suite so it is not accessible with this listing. If you need to do any laundry onsite please message me and I may be able to help.
Please no glass in or around the spa (hot tub). If you need anything or are curious about anything please reach out.
Instructions for the massage chair:
Please no food or drinks in the chair at any time
I recommend starting at intensity 1 or 2, instead of the default 3, by flipping down the bottom of the remote.
When the massage ends it will keep you in 0 gravity so press power to put the chair back down, wait for the chair to be completely down and stopped moving before getting out or it could break.
It's recommended to limit yourself to 30 minutes per day.
The motors can overheat if you do too many massages in a row. Please wait 30 minutes per hour of usage.
If you're pregnant or have any health concerns please check with your doctor first.
