Get your jetted tub cleaned out so you can relax and enjoy your baths! Thanks for watching.
If you still got the tub, please try filling it up and using Vanish Oxi Action powder.
Try putting like 3 or 4 packs of it in it and running the tub for an hour and a half or even 2.
Afterwords when u drain it and refill put some strong coffee machine decal tabs inside. Or 6 bottles of the strongest limestone remover spray you have and repeat.
After that clean it and run it again with pool chlorine in very high doses, and leave it over nigh filled but without the jets running. Then run them for half an hour the next morning and drain and clean.
Don’t scrub the mold just do this with the chemicals, I am wondering if that all would remove the mold on its own.
I scraped my old tub because of that and got one without the jets. But now im wondering about a garden hot tub, but don’t know if it will have the same problems.
Hope you make another video and show us how its going.
@Nikola__K Thanks! Your method sounds like it would do the trick for sure! I appreciate your tips. Thanks for watching! ❤️
A few years ago I started using a mild bubble soap and 1 cup of apple cidar vinegar every other bath. After 6 months I found that all the buildup was gone and water was consistently crystal clear and the bubbles were as clean as fresh snow. No debris on the side of the tub. I still use epsom salts, baking soda, and essential oils when not taking "cleaning bath".
That’s a good idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
Soak the nozzles and covers in super hot water and oxyclean let soak overnight. Practically rinses the crud off. Good for cleaning juicer parts too!
Ooh, I like that idea! Thanks!
Oh my goodness. I didn't know I could clean my jets. They were awful!!! Thanks for sharing this video!
You’re welcome!
Very thorough! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! I will try this in mine.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
This is a very good video. Using a vinegar solution was good to help dissolve hard water deposits, but a second step was needed to get the black mold off. Unless the jets have gaskets or O-rings that are damageable, I would thoroughly rinse the jets after soaking in vinegar and then soak them in a separate bucket with water and laundry bleach. The bleach is corrosive and will dissolve or loosen the black mold. Then rinse thoroughly after cleaning. We use bleach with paper towels soaked with bleach on our white grout lines in our shower to get rid of the black mold. It takes a some of application time, but the white grout lines come out looking like new. It should work the same on the jets.
Great idea! Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
@@reallifewithali Sure, you're welcome and good luck.
This was a great video, thank you so much for sharing. I will be cleaning my jetted tub tomorrow, and I will be using a thin bottle brush to get in those hard to reach areas that the toothbrush could not reach. 👍🏻
@genuineangel1 Yay! Let me know how the bottle brush works. I’m going to do that next time too.
Y was watching this cleaning video so relaxing and therapeutic 😮💨😌.
Thank you!
Thank you so very much this video was helpful. When I first took off jets i was disgusted because I did not know it was that much bacteria behind them. Video very simple straight to the point and soft scrub helped me
You’re welcome!
Life saver. Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
Great tutorial, thank you!! 😊
Thank you for watching! ❤️
This was awesome, thank you! I have the same type of jetted jacuzzi and now since spring break is here, I'm attacking the whole house, starting with the bathroom. My jets need cleaning, so thank you for posting this!
You’re welcome! I’m tackling my bathroom now too. The video will be up soon! Thanks for being here. ❤️
This video helped me lot. Thanks
You’re welcome!
I soooo need to do this! We have hard water and I have found that Bar Keeper's Friend is an amazing cleaner for those stubborn rust stains in my shower and tubs. I prefer the powder over the liquid. I make a paste with some warm water and let it sit for a little while, then wipe the rust away. Soft Scrub with bleach is another favorite for me. Thanks for the inspiration as always ❤️
Thanks Gail! I need to try Bar Keeper’s Friend for other things besides kitchen. Thanks for the idea!
We have a similar tub and I have never cleaned the jets 😬 I am putting this on my list!!
Do it! You’ll be disgusted! 🤣
You will be surprised at all the gunk in the jets! I had never cleaned mime either. Had the tub for 18 years.
Very helpful thank you
You’re welcome!
Some really good tips here. Thank you! I would like to add that I also use a mascara wand/spoolie to clean in the tight places where a toothbrush does not fit. You can also use the little brushes that come with metal straws. It’s like a bottle brush, only tiny.
Thank you! I know what you’re talking about. That’s a great idea!
@@reallifewithali is your tub a Jacuzzi brand? I only tried one of the Jets but I couldn’t get it to unscrew. Maybe some brands work that way and some don’t?
@@lindypierce3766 shoot! I have no idea what brand mine is. Sorry!
@@lindypierce3766Hi, I have an American Standard jacuzzi, Evolution/Ever clean. Their jets do not screw off, I tried and it was a no go - which made me really sad, because I really wanted to get in there. I ended up using some q-tips because they were close by and YUK! So much gunk came out.
@ccr4375 That’s too bad you can’t take the jets off! I’m glad you were able to get it clean though!
Thank you!
No problem! Thanks for watching. ❤️
Just bought a house and have no clue how to clean it. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for the video. I have jetted the tub, but we don't use it anymore. It does need a good cleaning, though. My problem is the shower doors that are attached to tub.
Those are the worst! I’d get a good stuff toothbrush and get to work.
You could try throwing denture tabs in the soak water, they work great for a variety of things.Ive even used them to clean toilets
Thanks for the tip! I recently heard about that. I'll have to give it a try sometime.
Thank you. I just bought a house with one of these, and it looks awful. Now I may be able to clean it rather than replace it.
Definitely give it a try! It’s totally worth it!
can also use a steamer to clean out the nooks and crannys of the jet hubs.
Great idea! Thanks!
I tried everything mentioned but prefer using Ahh-Some Jetted Tub Cleaner. I use every 15 days and this seems to work the best. Great video as far as removing the water intake that was where most of my gunk was. My jets don't appear to be removable I just use a toothbrush and clean inside that way.
Next time I want to use Ahh-Some tub cleaner. Thanks for the suggestion! I just wanted to use what I had on hand.
@@reallifewithali Have you tried it yet? I have a hot tub I use the Ahh Some in and thought my hot tub was clean only having it 6 months, tons of stuff came out. That stuff is amazing.
@@KBradAdams no, I haven’t yet. We very rarely use our tub so I don’t clean it a lot. I haven’t purchased the Ahh-Some cleaner, but I intend to one day!
KABOOM works really great for the body of the tub.
Thanks for the tip!
What is that bathtub scrubber stick thing you was using called? I want one lol
Sure! This is the exact one that I have: www.ohwill.com/collections/element-selection/products/ohwill-electric-spin-scrubber-cleaning-tool-with-4-replaceable-brush-heads. With that in mind, I would recommend something like this because it has more attachments: amzn.to/3ZBeGsY
Thank you so much this video! Just bought a new house and this is exactly what I need to know to remove the nasty mold from my tub! I am also interested in that amazing brush I saw you using to clean the tub. Could you give me link to buy one for me?
Thank you! I’m so glad it’s helpful! I can find the link to the brush, but I’ll be honest. It was the first time I used it and I didn’t love it! It was hard to control, but I need to keep trying it. I think it will work better in the shower on the edges. Give me a little bit to find the link though. I know lots of people do like it!
@@reallifewithali thank you so much!
@@Chayenesz Okay, I did a little searching and found one I think you might like! In fact, I might need to give it a try. amzn.to/3UoTCTY The reason I like this one is because it has a flat bristle scrubber head attachment (mine does not). Of course, you can do some searching on your own and I haven't actually used this, but it looks great! I will send you the link to the one I have once I get it. Have a great weekend!
Hi Chayene! Here is the link to the electric scrubbing brush that I currently own: www.ohwill.com/collections/element-selection/products/ohwill-electric-spin-scrubber-cleaning-tool-with-4-replaceable-brush-heads
I need to replace our suction cover. Ours is missing when we moved into the home. The base looks just like yours. Do you know where I could find a new cover? Thanks!
I don’t know for sure, but this one looks just like it! amzn.to/3MI7Xbn
Hie can you do a video on how to use the jet tub
I will consider that. Thank you for the suggestion.
My tub also has air jets at the bottom, meaning water doesnt go through it and Im not sure how to clean them as the black flakes appear after I turn them on.
Hmm, I don’t know about those! I’m sorry.
So I use dishwasher bars to clean the jets fill the tub up and leave it in there for about an hr with 2 caps of bleach. I have a ventilatior so fumes aren’t a concern
Thanks for the suggestion!
Where dod you get the telescoping electric scrubber you used in the tub?
The one I own isn’t available, but this seems to be very similar. amzn.to/494eypd
@@reallifewithali 🙏🏾
This is an issue especially for those with diabetes and who are immunocompromized... this and other reasons are why I discourage those folks from getting pedicures at nail place. U can never be assured the tubing and guts are super clean.
Need long tube cleaners get deep into the lines loosen it up if you have thin line like they use to force water in plumbing faster will go jetted water house fed through the system
Thanks!
One of life's more dreaded jobs, but ah, the satisfaction when it's done.
Hope your reward was a nice long soak in your sparkly tub.
It is so satisfying when it is done!
What is the electronic scrub brush you used?
I can’t find the exact one I have, but this one is very similar. amzn.to/3O7gchM
@@reallifewithali thank you!
Disinfectant spray kills mold I used it on my ceiling
Would it make sense to run the cleaning with vinegar first to flush the gunk and then clean all the jets? Seems like you are getting them dirty Again by running the full tub system flush / clean after all that detailed work. Maybe once to begin with then again after cleaning all the jets?
That sounds like a good idea! Thanks.
I have heard you can also toss in dishwashing tablets. Have you ever tried that?
No I haven’t, but I heard that too. Maybe I’ll try it out!
A hand held steamer would also be a good tool to use if you have one.
Good idea! Maybe I’ll invest in one in the future.
I would imagine all the plumbing behind the jets would be full of the same moldy crap.
Yeah that can be true, but at least some of it is clean. 😬
I’m having a problem where I’ve done multiple sessions running the jets with soap and other stuff.. mold keeps coming out 😔.. bathtub was here when we moved in so I have no idea how they took care of it before
Someone else just commented the same thing. I did more research and read Oh Yuk worked well and that you might need to run the jets for a longer time. Even up to an hour. Do it over and over until no more mold comes out. There was another product called Ahh-Some, I think. Here are the links: amzn.to/3whckoR amzn.to/3UJy5qA
I don't have a jetted tub, but I've heard people swear by Yuk (not Oh Yuck). I saw a video.of a lady who used it on a hotel or rental jetted tub before she'd get in it, and was horrified at all the gunk she got out of an otherwise clean-looking tub. You might try that.
Thank you! I have considered that. I’ll try it next time!
I notice you used Soft Scrub with bleach but later in cleaning the tub/running jets you say to avoid bleach. Shouldn't you also avoid the bleach in the version of Soft Scrub that you use?
You’re right! I didn’t think about that. I guess I meant not to run bleach watcher through the jets. I did rinse all the soft scrub before running the jets.
Once a month I put a dishwashing pod in tub let it sit then run the jets and let sit and rinse
That’s a good idea! I’ll try that next time.
I have done everything in this video and I still get small amounts of black flakes even though it has decreased. It seems like once I turn on these jets, it will always come out. It’s so annoying and I don’t know what else to do. Cleaned the jet covers and took them out twice now and they are spotless and the water filter. So the black flakes have to be coming from somewhere I’m not cleaning. Can anyone help me???
Darn! I’m not an expert, but I do have some other ideas. From researching, Oh Yuck cleaner or Ahh!some cleaner both work really well. It sounds like you need to let it run for a long time. Even up to an hour. If you still see flakes, do it again. Do it until you don’t see them anymore. I think I’ll give those cleaners a try next time, too. I hope this helps! I left the links to the products if you want to check them out.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
True!
A real bacteria problem, especially for women. I suggest replacing it with a simple soaking tub.
I agree! I would absolutely do that if I had the funds.
I regret buying a jetted tub wish I had to money to replace it
@babyangel1317 I would much rather have just a soaking tub as well! Jetted tubs are a pain to keep up with!
As,,,,, I'm@@babyangel1317
Clean it just don’t turn it on it’s fine
You needed a small pipe cleaner for the jets instead of the toothbrush. :)
That would have been smart! Haha. Thanks for the tip.
I bought the Oh Yuk, but I don't think it's worth the price.
That’s good to know! Thanks!
Wonder why the inlet always yellows. Everyone’s is like that. You’d think by now they’d have a plastic that wouldn’t get yellow like that.
That would be a smart idea! 🤔
Where has Ali been?
Thanks for noticing. 😊 I have just been busy with life and kids and summer! I hope to be back soon.
Ok. I’m just glad everything is ok!
Just watching this makes me hate having a jet tub!!! Just cleaning this thing could take hours and you don’t kill all bacteria or mold from the inside. Maybe that’s why many people are replacing them with walk in shower
Probably! I like having a tub, but hate that it's jetted.
My jets don’t unscrew like that 😭
Oh no! Really? I wonder how they can get cleaned well. 🤔 I wish I knew! Can they “pop” off if you try and pry them off?
@@reallifewithali I tried they seem stuck. It’s part of a shower, so not sure that makes a difference I’ll have to look online a bit closer
@kristin475 That’s too bad! I wish I knew how to help. Good luck!
Your tub and jets look great but that yellow intake cover is a bummer. Google jets or whirlpool replacement parts, find your tub brand and get a white cover. Not expensive and your tub will look new.
Great idea! Thanks.
If it’s yellowing from overtime, you can also try putting it in hydrogen peroxide and setting it out in the sun. I know that works on clear plastic, worth a try on the solid stuff :)
@DrWarBear Thanks! Great idea.
Use a pipe cleaner
Good idea! Thanks!
you diluted the vinegar too much for it to be effective .........
For soaking the jets? I’ll try more next time!
The tubes need to be scrubbed too. Or replaced. They are all gunky like the jet holes. Yuk
I’m not sure how to do that! But when we used the tub last night I didn’t see a single gross black flake!
this is why you shouldn't pee in your tub when your sitting in it.
Interesting comment. Haha. It’s not from peeing in the tub. It’s just from body oils and soap residue from soaking in the water.
Why cant yall use freaking gloves 😤
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't! I always wash my hands good after. It's just a personal preference and it doesn't bother me. 😬
