Home Remedies for Cleaning Hot Tubs

Most people maintain their hot tubs by using chemicals and harsh cleaners, but there are natural home remedies that will cut down on the dangers from traditional methods. Regular cleaning and maintenance are necessary for a safe and pristine hot tub and chemicals purchased from the store are effective but costly. By making your own cleaners with ordinary household items, you can save some cash while maintaining a sanitary environment in your hot tub.
