Why Dishwasher Tablets?
Dishwasher tablets are specifically formulated to dissolve grease and grime. These properties make them ideal for cleaning the jets in your bathtub, which often accumulate soap scum, body oils, and other debris. The effervescent action of the tablet also helps to dislodge stubborn particles.
Step-by-Step Guide:

3. Create a Solution
Dissolve one dishwasher tablet in a basin of warm water. The tablet should fully dissolve, creating a fizzy solution.

Submerge the jets in the dishwasher tablet solution. If the jets are not fully submersed, use a soft cloth or sponge to apply the solution directly to them.
5. Let it Sit

6. Agitate the Solution
After 30 minutes, gently agitate the solution using a soft cloth or sponge. You can also use a toothbrush or pipe cleaner to dislodge any stubborn particles.
7. Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse the jets thoroughly with warm water to remove any remaining solution or debris. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the jets and surrounding areas.
