You may encounter this kind of situation. When you don’t regularly clean your spa tub you get a buildup of soap scum, body oil, and even dirt that can build in the pipes and plumbing eventually causing you a great deal of grief. The same goes for your hot tub with the exception of soap scum.

Improperly cleaning can also cause potential health risks because germs and bacteria have a chance to grow. So make sure you do your maintenance regularly according to the manufacturer’s directions or more often if things are looking dirty.

The best way is to clean after every use. It’s an easy process. Just fill with cold water to just above the jets and let the jets run for ten minutes which will flush out any residue.

Every couple of months take your regular cleaner that you use around the house and fill the tub with hot water then adding the cleaner, half cup of bleach, and two tablespoons of dishwasher detergent. Let run for fifteen minutes with the air control completely open.

Drain after fifteen minutes then refill with cold water and let run for another ten minutes. There are also products on the market that are designed to clean your spa jets. If you prefer you can buy one of these products to use. It does keep things simple.

Just follow the directions provided on the product you purchase. Remember more does not mean it will do a better job. In fact some of these products can be corrosive and using too much can actually cause damage so do yourself a favor and follow the directions carefully.

Once you’ve given the jets a good cleaning why not give the exterior a nice polish. The polished designed especially for the finish of these tubs is easy to apply and it keeps your tub looking just like the day it came off the assembly line. It’s a great way to ensure that your hot tub lasts a lifetime and looks good for the whole time!
