HOW TO CLEAN A SPA TUB


What You Need

Your spa tub helps you relax and unwind at the end of a long day, so it deserves to be just as clean as it is relaxing. Whether it's a soap scum ring from a long soak or buildup from body oils, bath products, and everyday dirt, Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner cuts through it all for a thorough, effortless scrub. Clean the surface weekly, or more often with daily use.

If your spa or whirlpool tub has jets, buildup can collect inside the plumbing even when the surface looks clean. Bath oils, soap residue, and skin cells can build up in the jet system and cause odors or grime over time. Run a full jet cleaning cycle every 1-2 weeks, or more often with heavy use.

Directions for Cleaning a Spa Tub Surface:

  1. Remove items. Remove any items before cleaning the tub.
  2. Wet. Wet the inside and the walls of the spa tub with water first to help the Simple Green penetrate dirt and grime.
  3. Apply Simple Green. Spray the entire surface with full-strength Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner.
  4. Scrub. Scrub the entire tub with a nylon scrub brush or non-abrasive scrubbing pad. This will agitate and help loosen dirt and grime, ensuring a squeaky-clean, residue-free surface.
  5. Rinse. Thoroughly rinse the tub with warm water.
  6. Dry. Wipe down the tub with a soft towel or microfiber cloth to prevent water spots and streaking.

Directions for Cleaning Jetted Tub or Whirlpool Jets:

Tip: Check your tub's manual for whether the air valves should be open or closed, and for any product restrictions.

  1. Fill the tub. Fill the tub with warm water until the jets are fully submerged.
  2. Add cleaner. Depending on the size of your tub, add half a gallon to a gallon of Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner to the water.
  3. Run the jets. Run the jets for 10 to 15 minutes to circulate the cleaning solution through the plumbing.
  4. Drain and refill. Drain the tub completely, then refill with clean water only.
  5. Rinse the jets. Run the jets again with clean water for a few minutes to flush out any leftover residue, then drain.

Once drained and rinsed, your tub is ready for your next relaxing soak.
