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.
Stumbled on this video as I try to clean my Jetted tub after 5 yes of no use. I never knew I could remove the jets. I am glad I watched this. Thank you.
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.
@@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?
@@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.
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".
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
So fun coming across your video today Ali! I was halfway through this video before I realized it was you. I'm now a faithful subscriber! My tub is similar and I loved all your tips and tricks. I had no idea you could remove the jets. I was in for a not so fun surprise. Jason says you should come over and help us clean and declutter now that we know your secret weapon lol
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 ❤️
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.
@@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!
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.
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. 👍🏻
Thank you for showing step by step! I am absolutely unfamiliar with jetted tubs, and don't know what the parts are called. I watched another video where an experienced and knowledgeable person talked through the steps using the parts names, but didn't show us the parts Appreciate yhe time you took!!
I'm so glad I found your video. I have an older jetted tub in the house that I rent, I use Oh Yuck which is incredible for cleaning out the pipes but beware, you need extremely good ventilation and you'll probably want to leave the bathroom and close the door for a while while the jets run because even with my exhaust fan on the chemicals are still intense. But the Jets are still gross and I wasn't aware you could take them out. My Jets and drain looks similar to yours so I'm hoping to remove them and clean them like you did. Thank you for such a detailed video! I hope you were able to try oh yuck to clean the pipes. It loosens up so much more old mold than vinegar does. You'll actually see your whole system is clean but it probably took 10 cycles before that happened. It just depends how long the pipes have been sitting with old water in them.
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!
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.
Thanks so much for this video! I really need my jetted tub for chronic pain and this video helped me figure out how to get rid of the oily stuff coming out of the tub. 🙏🏻💕🛁
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.
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.
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
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!
@@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).

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!
@@bigabe23 I apologize. I would say to clean out the jets once a month. I would rinse the tub out after each use. I would also clean the tub once a week. I hope that helps!
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
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?
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
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.
I was afraid to try and take those off OMG. I did buy a shop vac and blow out the water and it smelled like sewage. It makes me want to take this tub out all together.
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. Oh Yuk amzn.to/4bfrUA0 Ahh!some amzn.to/3QkNrzg
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.
Thanks for the tips. Just one comment bleach makes mold more toxic, spraying vinegar is the best way to stop it. I am currently being treated for mold toxicity aka C.I.R.S. and am learning how to clean my environment. 1/4 of the population carries a gene where you cannot process out biotoxins so getting mold out is very important. Get cleaning y'all.
IF there is mildew in your jets, it's all throughout the piping as well....even if you don't see any floating in the water. Seems you are happy enough getting what you can see, but it's still not 'clean'.
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
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.
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 :)

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.
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 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.
Thanks for the tips. Just one comment bleach makes mold more toxic, spraying vinegar is the best way to stop it. I am currently being treated for mold toxicity aka C.I.R.S. and am learning how to clean my environment. 1/4 of the population carries a gene where you cannot process out biotoxins so getting mold out is very important. Get cleaning y'all.
@@redbirdbluebird8559 Good to know! Thanks!
Everything needs to be cleaned in life. Everything needs maintenance.
@@PlayingwithPawz That is true. ☺️
IF there is mildew in your jets, it's all throughout the piping as well....even if you don't see any floating in the water. Seems you are happy enough getting what you can see, but it's still not 'clean'.
Thanks. I do realize that. This is the best I feel I can get it! That’s why I would love to rip it out and put in just a soaker tub with no jets. 😬
I bought the Oh Yuk, but I don't think it's worth the price.
That’s good to know! Thanks!
The problem with these hot tubs too but they all use that plastic rigged hose that water and this mold will build and sit
@@PlayingwithPawz Yup!
You needed a small pipe cleaner for the jets instead of the toothbrush. :)
That would have been smart! Haha. Thanks for the tip.
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!
Use pipe cleaner next time 👍🏽along with your toothbrush 🎉
@@chocolatedrop__ Great idea! Thanks!
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!
KABOOM works really great for the body of the tub.
Thanks for the tip!
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.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
True!
Oh yuk jetted bathtub cleaner does wonders
@@adamd3522 I have been wanting to try that! Thanks for the suggestion.
Treat it like a pool, not a tub.. use cleaning chemicals regularly like chlorine
@@FixMyBrokenJunk Good idea, thanks.
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.
the black isn’t neccesarily mold, hard water and soap scum buildup is going to look like that too
Thanks! Although, it is still gross. 😬
best way to avoid the mold is to get rid of it. they are a nightmare. worst housing decision we’ve made
@@chodge8366 I agree! If we were remodeling our bathroom, I would get rid of it.
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.
Use a pipe cleaner
Good idea! Thanks!
There’s so much more in there, you have no idea since you’re not using the proper cleaners.
@@catscratchfever1473 I imagine there is still some in there, but at least it seems a lot cleaner! Can you recommend what cleaner I should try?
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. 😬
