Clean your jetted tub every 1-3 months if you use your tub daily or several times a week. Clean it at least once every 6 months if you only use it a few times a month.
Always refer to manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your specific model of tub.
The detergent will loosen greasy residue left behind in the jets by soap or bubble bath liquid.
Both vinegar and bleach serve to disinfect during the cleaning.
If there is still grime coming out of the jets after 15 minutes, then keep the jets on until it looks like no more dirt is coming out of them.
Don’t add any cleaning products to the water this time. You just want clean, cold water for rinsing.
Let the tub run for another 5 minutes if it looks like the jets are still blasting out last bits of dirt.
You can use an old toothbrush to get into the crevices of the jets if there is anything lodged in them still after cleaning. Wipe them clean and rinse away the debris after doing so.
Biofilm is a natural film that is created by the buildup of bacteria, mold, mildew, and other biological materials. Cleaning your jetted tub with biofilm removal liquid is a method of cleaning to be used on its own, instead of cleaning your jetted tub with detergent and vinegar or bleach. You can use either method to regularly clean your tub effectively.
It’s important that the jets are completely covered with water so that, when you turn them on, the motor doesn’t get damaged and so they don’t spray water up into the air.
The biofilm cleaner’s instructions may specify different amounts depending on if it is a regular cleaning or the first cleaning in a while.
You can drain the tub and repeat this process if you want to give it an extra good cleaning.
You can repeat the cleaning process another time before you rinse the tub if it still looks dirty or if you want to be extra sure you got everything out of the internal plumbing.
Some manufacturers recommend doing this rinsing process after each use of the jetted tub to help get rid of soap scum, oils, dead skin, and other gunk that builds up after each use. Keep your jetted tub clean by repeating this whole cleaning process approximately every 5 uses, regardless of how often you use it.
