Cleaning Bath Tub Jets

I have just moved into a house that has a whirlpool tub. What is the best product to use to clean out the jets?

I have a whirlpool tub and all I do is fill the tub with really hot water (it has to go over the jets). While it is filling I add a cup or so of white vinegar. Turn on the jets for about 20-1/2 an hour. (I have a timer built into the wall.) You may find a dirty scum on the water as it works and you may have to clean the tub after.

I do this every month. I never got directions how to do jet cleaning as the tub came with the house, but vinegar is safer on any possible rubber or plastic parts the jets may contain. I find it is economical and eco-friendly. (11/03/2010)
