How to Clean Jacuzzi Bathtubs

Jacuzzi bathtubs are a great addition for any home and can provide a way for a person to de-stress themselves from a long day. If you are considering buying a jacuzzi bathtub, you must be able to make a commitment to cleaning it. Jacuzzi bathtubs also have jets that regular bathtubs don't have that need to be cleaned.

Things You'll Need

• Bathtub cleaner Thermometer Dish detergent Bleach Measuring cup

Instructions

1. Clean your jacuzzi bathtub like you would normally clean any bathtub. Use your favorite bathtub cleaner and a rag. If there are some spots that are especially dirty, you can use a scrub brush. If you are not sure which cleaner to use, a good product to use is Scrubbing Bubbles Bathtub Cleaner.

2. Rinse out your jacuzzi bathtub from all of the bathtub cleaner and then fill it to the top with hot water. This is how you will clean your jets. You will need to make sure the temperature is at least 140 degrees F to properly clean the jets. You can use a food thermometer because it is able to withstand that high of a temperature.

3. Add 1 cup of bleach and 4 tsp. of dish soap to your jacuzzi bathtub. It is best if you do this while the jacuzzi is filling up with water so that the bleach and dish soap get mixed in to the water naturally.

4. Turn your jets on and allow them to run for 15 minutes. This is going to run the bleach and dish soap through the jets and get them cleaned from the inside out. After the 15 minutes is up you need to drain the tub.

5. Fill the jacuzzi bathtub up a second time, but leave the water on cold. This cycle will rinse out any left over cleaner. Once the jacuzzi is filled, you can run the jets for 15 minutes and then drain.

6. Clean your jacuzzi bathtub a second time with bathtub cleaner. This is because after you clean the jets, some of the dirt from the jets may be left on the walls and floor of your jacuzzi. Rinse out the cleanser before using the tub again.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't stick your hand in the jacuzzi while it is still hot. Wait for the water to cool off before reaching your hand in and pulling the drain plug.

• Oil-based bath salts and bubble baths aren't good for jacuzzi jets. Use them sparingly.
