Discover the step-by-step guide to clean even the most stubborn water stains and limescale from hot tubs using a proven formula. Learn the easy techniques to restore your hot tub to its former glory and make it sparkle like new!

We all know how great hot tubs can be for entertaining friends and family. However, ensuring that it is kept clean can be slightly tricky especially if you don't want to use potentially harmful chemicals. There are some easy, natural ways to clean your bath tub that are cheap and easy to use. Below is a step by step guide on how to easily clean a hot tub using a tried and tested method...

Step 1:

Get a clean spray bottle. Once the bottle has been washed and rinsed out, pour a solution of 1/2 litre of white vinegar and 1/2 litre of water into the spray bottle.

Step 2:

Spray the solution liberally over the hot tub and wait for a few minutes. The acid solution will dissolve any hard water stains and limescale that have built up over time.

Step 3:

Spray more solution if the stains are stubborn. If required, spray more solution and wait for a few more minutes.

Step 4:

Use baking soda and vinegar. If extra cleaning is required, make a paste of white vinegar and baking soda and scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge. It's a good idea not to use an abrasive cleaner like scouring pads, powders or steel wool as this will scratch the surface of the hot tub.

Step 5:

Simply wipe away the solution. Use a clean, damp cloth to remove any residue from the bath tub to reveal a "good-as-new" look and ready for another use!

Most hot tubs these days are made of fibreglass and are able to be cleaned with mild acids. However, if the hot tub is made of porcelain which is a glass surface fused to a metal base, it is advisable not to use acid cleaners on porcelain enamel. Porcelain enamel is acid resistant but not acid proof - the glass coating can be gradually dissolved by acids and expose the metal underneath and cause a lot of damage.

When scrubbing the stains be careful to rub gently as once the porcelain surface has been scratched it easily picks up any grease, dirt or soap residue. Then harsh abrasives really are necessary to remove debris that has become ingrained within the surface!
