How Do You Clean Jacuzzi Tubs?

Clean your Jacuzzi tub with bleach.

Cleaning Jacuzzi tubs requires more work than the cleaning of a traditional bathtub. The majority of the residue accumulates inside of the tub, settling to the bottom of the tub's jet pipes. When you neglect the cleaning, you can end up soaking in a tub that is filled with chunks of dark, flaky residue. This residue is caused by the hard water scale, soap scum and other elements that are stuck inside of the jet pipes when the Jacuzzi jets turn off. They then settle to the bottom of the pipes and flush out the next time the Jacuzzi is used.

Things You'll Need

• Dishwasher detergent
• Bleach
• Cleaning rags

Instructions

1. Fill up the tub with hot water, making sure all jet pipe openings are under water.

2. Pour a 1/2 cup of bleach and 1/4 cup of dishwasher detergent into the water.

3. Turn the Jacuzzi jets on high and let them run at this speed for 15 minutes.

4. Drain the tub, fill it once again with hot water and run the jets at high to flush out excess residue or cleaner.

5. Empty the tub and wipe down with a dry cleaning rag.
