Things to know if you own a jacuzzi tub

So our bathroom has a jacuzzi tub in it. The other night I thought it would be a treat for Madison to give her a bubble bath in it. This is what I learned: first, if you have not run the tub in a while you need to run it with some strong disinfectant, for when I first put Madison in the tub, filled it up, and turned on the jets, she was immediately surrounded by debris, which I can only assume to be (hope to be) built up soap scum from inside the pumps. It honestly looked like the exoskeletons for some hive of prehistoric insect. I am not sure how to clean a jacuzzi tub properly, so I dumped a half a bottle of Clorox bleach and let the pumps run for an hour -probably not the correct way or the best way but anything still living in those pumps are the cleanest man-eating insects ever. Next, after thoroughly rinsing the tub out, I again got Madison all excited about taking a bath in Mommy's and Daddy's room, filled the tub up, ignored the debris still in it, put some Mr. Bubble in the water, turned on the jets, and let her go at it.
WARNING! With a small amount of bubble bath solution will create a lot of bubbles in a jacuzzi tub! I found this out when I returned a couple minutes later and had lost Madison in a mountain of bubbles.


Of course Madison thought this was great and now wants to take a bubble bath in our room every night.
