Anyone who has owned a jetted tub has also experienced the black flakes that exits the jets and ruins what was supposed to be a great and relaxing tub experience. Many great comments here and I've used most of them with good results. My reason for posting here now is I did the dishwashing detergent and even the bleach on a third round, which had the desired effect, that is, until out of curiosity, after a clean jetted tub experience, I elected to unscrew the jets and what I found on the first one resulted in removing all of them and giving them a good clean before reinstalling them. I found all kinds of crud on the inside of the jets, and this was "after" the cleaning. So, food for thought, while a couple of folks here mentioned taking them out and cleaning them, most thought the tub was clean if no crud came out, and this just re-enforces the importance of unscrewing the individual jets and cleaning them if you want to truly experience a "clean" jetted tub experience.
I agree
I sooo needed this! Just moved into my new home and was so excited about my HUGEEE jetted tub. Needless to say, I was mortified! I will take heed to comments as well and have MY HUSBAND remove the jetties and clean them. 😆 🤣
I have been watching all these videos here. Your tub is like a Pressure Washer. It has such Power.
Greatest video. Very short and to the point.
Thank You.
Super cool 😎 👍
I just got a sweet new apartment with a Jacuzzi. It's not been used in a while, so this trick super helped. I ran it through 3 cycles and it's now spotless clean and no more gunk from the jets.
Thanks & chEErs👍
To really clean the tub, you need to remove the jet nozzles (they screw out) and clean them manually. Just be prepared to be grossed out.
So true! Thanks!
do you fill the tub with water and cleaner, activate the system, while the jets are out?
@@MichaelGhysels Most of the gross stuff accumulates in the jet nozzles. After manually cleaning them, I screw them back in, fill the tub with water and some dishwasher detergent (e.g. Cascade) and then run it for about ten minutes. At that point, your tub will be very clean.
@@bkinouye thank you
Awesome. Doing it tmw
We haven’t used ours in a long time and I’ve used almost everything so far with hot water in the past 2 days. I’ve used bleach, vinegar, laundry detergent, Krud Kutter, Super Clean and Dawn soap all at separate times. Every time I think it’s clean after rinsing, I fill it up with hot water, run it and I get this greenish ring around the inside of the tub. I will give this a try.
Thank You!
Is white distilled vinegar ok to use ? not too acidic for the gasket? also liquid dish detergent can be used right? or powder, both are not acidic. How often to clean it? thanks (clorox toilet bowl can't use that right)
Can you use dishwasher powder instead? Logix
You are the woman thank you so very much. I just turned my mother's jacuzzi tub on in her bathroom that she hadn't used it I don't remember when. Before she got in I turned on the Jets and oh wow. The thing is her tub is dark blue but when I turned the Jets on all of this nasty dark particulate came shooting out. Absolutely disgusting. I'm going to throw in a cup of bleach as well. I'm going to try your method today. Live long and prosper, peace and long life🖖🖖🖖
Thank you! I hope she is enjoying it now. There are few things that make me move faster than dirt and grime shooting out of jets! Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this great video, just moved into a new house and my jacuzzi bath did not go as well as I had planned haha will do this! Xxx
I am so sorry! The first time I hopped in our tub years ago, I moved faster getting out than I thought possible! The moment I turned them on, spiders, dust bunnies, and pieces of soap scum blasted into the tub. I wish I knew then what I know now!!! I hope next bath goes far better!
Very nice
I just had to do it with bleach .
Never had a jetted tub before . Moved into a new home and my first bath didn't go so well 😂. Thanks for the video :)

Thanks Stacey Dash
Powell Diesel thats crazy
This little ruclips.net/user/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
Channel is awesome! Do you still make videos?
Thanks, Josh! I took a bit of a break but will be back with loads of new content soon! Stay tuned, and thank you for the kind words!
will this work with liquid dishwasher detergent and bleach or will I need the powder dishwasher ? and how long do I have to let the Jets run ?
You could use the liquid dishwasher detergent or the powdered. Whichever you have on hand! Thanks for the great question!
Thank you Amy bakes

Bathtub looks like it’s just been replaced
How long do you keep jets going while cleaning?
Thanks for the great question! Depending on the amount of soap scum and product buildup, you can easily tailor this trick to your situation. If it is just a general maintenance clean, 3-4 min. using hot water and detergent should do the trick. But if the tub is "new to you" or it has never had the jets cleaned, you may want to let it run for 10 minutes. If you notice significant build-up blasting from the jets, let the detergent do the work for you for at least 5-6 minutes, drain the tub, and run it another time or two so the debris doesn't keep recirculating. Then treat yourself to a relaxing soak! Thanks again for watching!
You should have said do a rinse cycle! Otherwise you’d still in for a bad surprise!
The Martha stewart of bath tubs lol 😂
I used this video last year but this year I made my own video about how to cover these instead.
We cleaned our bathubs pipes first time in 27 years...
but we almost never used the functions becouse of the dirt
That is awesome news!!! Hopefully, now you can use it. A tub is a terrible thing to not enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Henkka hey, mine hasn’t been used for maybe 20 how was it? Lol
Just get straight to the point. Thks for suggestion
Can you use the tablets ?
Lol
I was wondering this too..if I opened them?
It works i tried it....yw
@Pruthvi Gandhi i turn on some super hott water, throw in 2 tablets , little bit of clorox and leave it running for 1 hr straight. Then another wash with just water with clorox for 1 hr with jet running. i use this technique once a month. But weekly do my wipe downs with clorox spray.
Dish detergent isn't going to begin to get the pipes clean.
this worked for me along with some bleach
That is fantastic! I agree, in some situations, we have to break out the bleach. My mother recently moved into a new home, and I certainly did not want her popping into her tub without killing whatever the previous residents may have left behind. Especially since there were signs of mold. Thank you for the feedback!!
Amy Bates how long exactly would you say is a "little bit"?
5-10 minutes?
10-20 minutes?
It really depends upon the tub. If you are running the detergent due to lack of use for 6 months, just a few minutes (up to 3-4) should do the trick. But if you are cleaning a jetted tub where you are the new homeowner, or they haven't been used for some years, I would let it run 10 minutes- or more if necessary. In that situation, if a lot of buildup blasts out of the jets, you may want to run two cycles, so the debris doesn't recirculate, and you know you have fresh and clean jets! Thanks for watching and for the question!
Amy Bates thank you for responding

When bleach is added to a tub of hot water, the chemical aerosolizes, filling the room with the noxious chemical known to cause asthma, lung damage, and rashes. Also, the corrosiveness of bleach will damage a jetted tub system over time.

I do The same In hot tub when changing Water. Dishwasher tablets are The best.
Do you use the tablets for cleaning out the hot tub pipes? ....and if so,how do you use them?.....
I have only tried the powder since it is what I happen to keep on hand. I love the tablets for my dishwasher since my dispenser door doesn't work. But now I am curious about the difference. Can't wait to give them a try! Thanks for the tip!
Rip Amy 🙏
Just buy some OhYuk on Amazon.
I still have junk coming out
I'm sorry to hear that! You may need to repeat the cycle. If that prove ineffective, contact the manufacturer to see what the recommend. Fingers crossed that running it longer and for a second cycle works for you!
You need to remove the jets and clean them manually. There is stuff (soap scum, hair, DNA) that accumulates in the jets and no amount of detergent or chlorine will remove it. It needs to be manually wiped off.
Lesson learned don’t use Dawn dish soap you will have a bubbly mess lol.
Thanks for sharing, I was about to add a lot of dawn soap in it loool
my bad, I did..bubbles everywhere :-)
okay, was just about to do this. thanks hahaha 😆
No no no... if you REALLY want a clean tub, unscrew the jets. Spray scrubbing bubbles In the jet holes and the entire tub and let it set for 30 mins to a hour. Then fill the tub with hot water and two cups of bleach and let it run. You will see soooo much crap come out it will make you question your cleaning. Believe me it’s more to that tub than the outside surface.
Great point! You certainly want to clean the outer surface of the jets and the holes. But the dishwasher detergent is caustic enough to clean out all of the soap and grime buildup. I agree, not just the outside matters! I figured it out the hard way after not using my tub for ages. It was immaculate on the outside, but the spiders and old gray soap scum that came into the basin with me when I turned it on ensured I always maintained the inner workings as well! Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try scrubbing bubbles for the exterior jets and holes!
You really shouldn't ever use scrubbing bubbles as it is not good for you.
No no no... to make even more clean tub, replace the tub with new parts while sterilizing it through quarantine
Why do you say this Jeremy Carey? I have been cleaning my tub with this for years and it does a great job. As long as you rinse your tub clean with hot water there shouldn't be an issue.

Dumb ?. Can you use liquid dishwasher detergent? 🤷♂️
That's a great idea if you want a bathroom filled with bubbles
another vid where they completely missed the most important step of the maintenance which is unscrewing the directional jets till they completely come off just to find out the staggering amount of gunk that the detergent simply doesn't even touch it
Your comment Johny is what motivated me to unscrew my individual jets and I am so glad I did. Thanks again for commenting. My wife will now use the jetted tub again!
So you unscrew them and it doesn’t ruin anything or fall behind in the crawl space?
@@jenniferteeter303 exactly..they are designed to stay in place for maintenance purposes
dude you're hot
