Don't use bleach. This is because, over time, it will breakdown gaskets, bushings, etc. Using any dishwashing detergent is also not recommended, since it will put a coating layer on the flaking you are trying to remove.
Fill the jetted tub. It should be up with warm water and about 1" about the highest jet. Other non-toxic approaches, include the use white vinegar to clean the jets in a bathtub.
Add a non-toxic bio cleaner to the water. Per the instructions on the cleaning product label, normally it is 1 teaspoon or 1 capful, depending upon the bio cleaner.
Run the jets. Turn off the air valve if you have one, on high for 10-15 minutes. This allows the bio cleaner to scrape off the gunk (flakes) that are solidified on the pipe and jet walls. Bio Cleaners use special properties that are ecological, green, and non-toxic and can eradicate bacteria, algae, mold, mildew, dead skin, soaps, and other gunk in the piping and remove them to the sides of the tub.
Clean the bathtub. When you have completed the 10-15 cleaning cycle, remove 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water, clean the "ring around the tub", refill with 2 inches (5.1 cm) of water and repeat the process. You will have to add more bio cleaner in as well.
Clean it once a week. To maintain a clean jetted tub, you need to clean it once a week, preferably after a bath to save on water.
