The first step to remove stains from your hot tub is to check the origin of the stain. If it is from organic material, use a mixture of white vinegar and water. The same mixture can be used for white stains. If you notice yellow stains due to mold, use Hydrogen Peroxide together with anti-mold spray. Different types of stains require different cleaning solutions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this blog post, I will explain what to do with certain hot tub stains. To make your work easier, I have differentiated the type of stains mainly on color. At the end of the post, I will explain how to get rid of stains on the hot tub shell. Do not forget to replace the water after cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generally, remove the hot tub stains caused by organic matter using a mixture of white vinegar and water. Apply the mix on the stained area and rub with a non-abrasive scrubber. Metal stains may not be removed this way. Ideally, you need to identify the nature of the stain on your hot tub to explore a way to remove it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To identify if the stain on your hot tub is due to organic substance or metal content in the water, examine its response to different cleaning agents. To ensure if a particular stain is from fallen leaves or similar organic matter, put a sock filled with Chlorine tablets on top of the stained area. If the stain gets lighter after some time, you may infer that it is organic residue. In such cases, use a vinegar-water solution to rub it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if the stain is due to metal content in the tub water or metal objects like a bottle cap left inside the tub water for days, it will not get lightened by Chlorine. To ensure it is a metal stain, you may place a sock filled with Vitamin C tablets on top of it. If it gets lightened after some time, it is a metal stain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In such cases, you may keep the hot tub water at 7.2 to 7.4 pH and add ascorbic acid or Vitamin C powder to it. Circulate it for two hours or so to remove metal stains from the tub interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n White stain is a common occurrence if your tub water has heavy minerals. In such cases, the calcium content in your water may lead to white build-up near the water level or in other parts of the hot tub. The permanent solution to this issue is to use water with low mineral content in your hot tub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These white stains are usually not very difficult to remove. Rub the stained area with a white vinegar-water mix using a wet, soft cloth. Rub the area in till the white stains disappear. Rinse the area with water and use a clean, soft cloth to wipe it again. Using soapy cleaning agents for this purpose may lead to foaming or suds in the hot tub water. Vinegar will get the work done and won't leave suds in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellow stains may appear in your hot tub due to several reasons. The presence of molds or certain other kinds of fungus may result in yellow stains. In such cases, using Hydrogen Peroxide to remove the stains is very effective. Treat the hot tub surroundings, and the cover with an anti-mold or mildew spray to eliminate mold growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yellow stains also can be left by debris like leaves in an unattended hot tub. Such stains can be removed by Hydrogen Peroxide or even with some Dichlor treatment. However, do not use highly concentrated Hydrogen Peroxide for this purpose. Hydrogen Peroxide at lower than 3% concentration will usually get the job done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, a one to two mixture of white vinegar and water may also work like a charm. In case the stain is difficult to remove, you may use some Magic Eraser to remove it. If you use Magic Eraser to wipe away the stain, ensure to rinse the surface with plenty of water after stain removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may come across rusty spots on your hot tub shell. These also can be treated with Vitamin C tablets. Rub it with a wet Vitamin C tablet, the stain will be removed. Mostly, these stains are caused by the presence of iron in the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Baking soda is also effective in removing rust spots. It is very effective on fiberglass surfaces. Mix baking soda in water and pour it over the rust stain. Then use a cloth dipped in a vinegar solution to wipe it off. Rinse the area well with water after the stain removal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"How-do-I-get-stains-out-of-my-hot-tub-Tips-from-professionals-1-1.jpg\"](\"https:\/\/www.wintersunexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/How-do-I-get-stains-out-of-my-hot-tub-Tips-from-professionals-1-1.jpg\")
