I can’t tell you how wonderful it’s been having the hot tub through this crazy COVID time. We’ve been using it at least three times per week for the last couple of months.
One of the things I have hated about having the hot tub is the chemicals. Every time we’d use it, we’d have to shower right after to prevent our skin from itching. So I started researching new, more natural ways to clean the tub. I wanted to be able to use the hot tub and keep it clean without exposing all of us to the chemical nastiness.
I eventually found that OnGuard and Geranium are the best essential oils to accomplish this task, sans-chemicals.
In one place, I heard someone say they had used the concentrate of the OnGuard cleaner from DoTerra weekly in the hot tub. For me, that made our tub a bit slimy. Instead, it’s the oils alone and nothing else that worked.
The only minor irritation about this way of cleaning is that you have to change the filter once a week. Small sacrifices for better skin and a cleaner Earth, if you ask me.
So here’s to doing whatever you can to stay healthy and not completely insane during these crazy times. For us, it’s a clean hot tub. Hopefully it can be the same for you! Xoxoxox.
Instructions
- On the first fill of the tub, add 10-15 drops of OnGuard oil.
- Before every use, add 5 drops of Geranium or 5 drops of OnGuard every other time of use
- Change the filter to a new one every to every other week for the best freshness.
Please watch the color and smell of the tub and add extra oil or change the filter additionally as you may see fit.
