Jetted bathtubs are a fabulous way to relax in the mornings and evenings. Throw some bubble bath or essential oils into warm water and turn the jets on to let all your worries disappear. But after your bath, you may be wondering how to clean your jetted bathtub.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Dishwashing soap
  • Gentle cleaning products
  • Bleach

General Instructions

Step1
Clean the tub using gentle cleaning products designed for your tub. Most jetted tubs are made from acrylic or fiberglass and can be scratched if you use harsh cleaning methods.
Step2
Fill the tub with warm water, making sure you're covering all the jets.
Step3
Add a small amount of dishwashing soap to water and swirl it so it's well mixed into the water. You can also try cleaning products such as Spa Jetline Cleaner specifically made for cleaning a jetted bathtub. You can also contact PurgeTech for other products designed for cleaning a jetted bathtub.
Step4
Turn the jets on and let them run for about 10 minutes.
Step5
Drain the tub and let air dry.

Using Bleach in a Jetted Bathtub

Step1
Put warm water into the tub, making sure you're covering all the jets.
Step2
Include about a cup of bleach to the water.
Step3
Switch on the jets, making sure you haven't filled the tub so high that if the bleach water splashes it won't stain anything. Leave the jets on for at least 10 minutes.
Step4
Let the water out of the bathtub.
Step5
Rinse away any standing bleach water.
Step6
Refill the tub using only warm water and turn the jets back on. This will help you rinse any residual bleach water in the jets so you don't end up bathing in bleach water.
