You Know Why, So Let’s Understand How To Clean The Jetted Tub
We explain in detail on this website WHY you should be using a bio cleaner, and we believe you really know WHY you need to clean your jetted tubs correctly, whether it be in your home, the hospital, a sports facility, hotels, honeymoon lodges, vacation homes, rentals, bed & breakfasts or time shares.
By the way; bleach, vinegar, lemon, cascade and detergents, and drano all cost money, as well as any bio cleaner you may find that fulfills the cleaning requirement, so bio cleaners are actually part of the common household items everyone talks about. The 2oz Ahh-Some Jetted Tub Bio Cleaner breaks down about 65 cents per cleaning per week. Now that’s saving!
Let’s get to the point of this article, cleaning your jetted tub. Even before you bought the Ahh-Some Bio Cleaner, you noticed, black and brown flaking coming out of the jets. These brown flakes are the remnants of negative gram bacteria, or NGB, which is where the bacteria lived and the oils, skin, and other nasties adhered to and were destroyed by any sanitizing that you used in the past. Yes, bleach is a fantastic sanitizer, but it leaves the NGB behind to house new bacteria and the other gunk.
Over time the dead NGB will start to break off from the wall of the pipes by themselves. Detergents will only add bio-film coatings to contain the NGB. You will see a few flakes and get freaked out by this coming out of the jets in your clean water. When you apply the Ahh-Some Jetted Tub Bio Cleaner to the water, with the jets on, the bio cleaner starts to scrape the walls of the jet pipes. You now will see a lot more of the flakes or dead NGB spewing out.
You have more than 30 feet of 1″ piping that needs to be cleaned by scraping. Every jetted tub is different, every home’s water supply is unique and everywhere you live, the weather and atmospheric conditions vary. This all leads to … not every jetted tub gunk is alike.
The 24 hour cleaning
One and two person jetted tub, use 1 teaspoon. A four person jetted tub, use 2 teaspoons.
Step 1: Fill the jetted tub up with water about 1-2 inches above the highest jet, facing the jets downward towards the bottom of the tub.
Step 2: Add 1 teaspoon (or two if required, see above) of the Ahh-Some Jetted Tub Bio Cleaner to the water. You can let dissolve for a minute but you really don’t need to.
Step 3: Turn on the jets. You may have more than one jet circuit, and there may be an air vent that is needs to be opened to give the jets a boost as well. Just follow the jetted tub manufacturer’s instructions on how to use the jets.
Step 4: You should let the jets run for 15 minutes, and during this time period you will see a lot of foaming action, similar to a bubble bath. This is normal. As time goes on, the dirt, grime, oils, skins, flaking, will be drawn to the top of the foam and deposited on the tub wall, as depicted on picture below. This picture reflects the ring around the tub when the jets are off.

Step 5: Turn the jets off after the time period and let the water sit in the jetted tub.
NOTE: You do NOT have to add any more bio cleaner to the water
Step 6: After 2 hrs Repeat steps 3 & 4
Step 7: Repeat step 6 about five times
Step 8: Leave water sit in tub overnight (make sure its safe from children)
Step 9: Repeat Steps 3 & 4
Step 10: Empty the water in the jetted tub, use the water to clean the tub itself, you can always scrub the jets themselves with a brush if you want but is not required.
That’s the 24 hr Ahh-Some Jetted Tub Bio Cleaning process. This procedure will combat 90% of the jetted tubs flaking (Dead NGB). You may see some stray NGB but the pipes should be clean of the NGB. The dead NGB is harmless and has been sanitized by not only the bleach you may have used in the past, but also by the Ahh-Some Bio Cleaner.
That jetted tub cleaning cost you 65 cents.
