How To Clean a Hot Tub

Your hot tub is a great investment for your home and deserves to be taken care of. Cleaning the tub in time will ensure that it lasts as long as possible, which means more use from you! So, you should know how to clean a hot tub.

Just follow these simple steps carefully and repeat often enough until suds are minimal or completely gone depending on type/size and equipment (sink). This guide has been designed with safety precautions so cleaning can go off without any issues whatsoever.

When Should You Clean Your Hot Tub?

This depends on how much you use the spa and what type of maintenance products are used by professionals.

For example, if someone only goes in their own tub once or twice every six months then there isn’t really any need for them to do regular cleaning. Why? because the bacteria won’t grow as fast with limited contact as it would be when people go underwater constantly which means cleaner water!

Clean After Each Use

It’s important to clean the court after each use. I always recommend using a wet cloth or our scrub brush for extra marks on top of anything you might have missed before!

PH levels should be checked and sanitizer (chlorine/bromine) adjusted accordingly so it stays well.

Every Sunday

Clean your filter and pH levels. If you have sanitizer (chlorine or bromine), make sure to adjust it to keep water healthy for the skin by shocking it with enough doses of that chemical!

Also, if you have cats in your house, please make sure you clean them every Sunday.

After Fifteen Days

For a deep clean, you can’t beat the power of quarterly maintenance. Use this time to drain and refresh your tub or give it an interior scrub with pipe cleaners!

Every Year

Cleaning it every year would require a lot of effort from your side. So, make sure to not leave it like that. Cleaning after every year goes for the wood stairs or sheepskin seat covers.

Steps for Cleaning It

You can browse through a few different things you can do to keep the hot tub clean. To start, make sure the skimmer and diffuser area of the filter housing on top is free from debris. It is because it shouldn’t block water flow or work properly when cleaning later down this list!

Now let’s go over each step of cleaning it

Flush Out Through Hot Tub Pipes

Flush out your hot tub pipes before cleaning the interior. Use a recommended product for each line and follow any usage procedures. Make sure not to damage or scratch surfaces along their length with hard objects like pipe cleaners (Swirl Away).

Drainage is required after flushes. This will help prevent the formation of bacteria sediments that could lead to larger numbers.

Check & Process the Drainage

Hot tubs are great for relaxation. But before you start draining the hot water, it’s important to make sure your home is safe. You’ll want to switch off all utilities like electricity and gas. Otherwise, if not done correctly this could cause major damage or injury!

The first step in safely shutting down a tub includes turning its isolation switch (sometimes located inside) so that no one else gets harmed by accident while we work on getting everything drained out there.

Clean the Surface Area

Cleaning your hot tub surface is essential for keeping it looking new. When you’re done using the water, remove any mud or debris from its surfaces by wiping it with a wet cloth. Keep doing it until all stains are gone before scrubbing gently using either an abrasive Mickey Mousepad-like fabric (which will also polish) OR special cleaners designed just for this task.

Avoid using usual cleaning products because they may contain chemicals that won’t have a neutral pH and could damage both materials outside of their intended purpose, especially if there has been algae growth!

You should always keep in mind how important maintaining proper

Clean The Pillows

It is an essential part of caring for your expensive investment. Use water and a piece of cloth to remove any dirt or algae from them, then wipe down with soap before wiping off again- This will help keep it looking new longer!

Clean Covers

Cleaning your hot tub cover is a great way to keep it in good shape. Make sure you use an approved cleaner and vacuum the outside of it with care, as well!

We recommend using powerful hose pipes or brushes for tough stains on surfaces like vinyl covers since these materials can’t be washed cleanly by water alone. However, if there are only light dirt smudges present we say go ahead. Just wipe down instead – this will save energy too so don’t worry about being overzealous while cleaning (plus who likes wetting themselves?).

Clean The Panels

One of the most important things you can do to maintain your hot tub is clean its panels. Make sure that when wiping them down with a cloth or detergent solution.

Make an effort not just for spotless surfaces but also remove any dirt accumulated on top too! A hosepipe may damage these parts so avoid using this method unless absolutely necessary

A good rule-of-thumb would be 1/2 cup per gallon (or 8 ounces) diluted dish soap mixed into warm water and shake well before each use.

Safety Precautions For Cleaning Your Hot Tubs

Hot tubs are always a great way to relax after work or on weekends, but they do need some care and attention. Avoiding these 8 common mistakes will help you keep your hot tub in good shape for years!

• Be sure that the power has been cut from outside before draining any water out of it as this is what creates condensation inside.
• Always wear gloves when handling chemicals/cleaning solutions so skin isn’t punctured by sharp objects like fingers.
• Protect eyesight.
• Children and pets should not be allowed near any cleaning products. Store them in a place where they are inaccessible to children, yet still close enough for your pet’s supervision.
• If you want the hot tub cleaned quickly (for example after an event), then make sure that only one person cleans at once. Never allow more than two people who may have different objectives during their visit.

Key Takeaways

With the right routine and products, keeping your hot tub clean is no hassle. Your guests will enjoy staying in it longer because of how nice it looks after you’ve taken care of the hot tub!
