How To Clean Your Whirlpool Bath

Is your whirlpool bath really clean? How about the pipework? Whirlpool pumps and damp, humid pipes are a natural haven for bacteria, dirt, and grime. Bath deposits such as soap, shampoo, and hair can build up within the pipework and are all ready to return the next time you use the bath. Follow our top tips to keep your whirlpool bath clean and fresh.

After each use, clean off any residue in the bath with hot, soapy water and dry with a soft cloth. Jets should be cleaned with a cotton bud or small washing-up brush to remove any grime around them. Especially in hard water areas, regular cleaning is essential to prevent the build-up of ugly limescale deposits. 

We stock a range of whirlpool sanitizing tablets that you can use after each bath, pop one into the bath once you have finished enjoying your whirlpool bath run the system for a couple of minutes, and then drain, the sanitizing action of the tablet leaves your whirlpool bath fresh and clean ready for your next bath.

Once every 6 weeks or so, clean the jet system out fully using a strong whirlpool cleaner:-

• Fill the bath and run with cold water, with the air control off
• Run for 10 minutes; ensure the room is well-ventilated
• Empty the bath and refill and then rinse

Never use abrasive cleaners on acrylic baths or on chrome or gold-plated bath fittings: you'll spoil the beautiful finish. Bleach can also damage the surface of baths, so always choose cleaners that are specially formulated for use in acrylic baths. Or for a truly budget solution, make your own from a mixture of half vinegar, and half warm water: this is great for removing mild rust and hard water stains. 

The real key to maintaining a beautiful fresh whirlpool bath is regular care and prompt cleaning. Don't let dirt, grime, or limescale build-up, and you'll have a luxurious bath to sink into for many years to come.
