Your Essential Guide to the Products You Can Use whilst Enjoying Your Whirlpool Bath

If you are lucky enough to have a whirlpool bath installed in your bathroom ? or if you are seriously considering installing one and want to know how to make the best of the experience ? then you should understand first exactly what a whirlpool bath is, and how it works. It's a great comfort and luxury (and it's surprisingly affordable), it allows you to relax, and offers you a great many health benefits.

However, it's important to know how to make the most of the whirlpool bath and how to enjoy it the most. The whirlpool bath acts differently, and so you should do things a little differently as well. Here's your essential guide to the products you can use whilst enjoying your whirlpool bath.

How the whirlpool works

The whirlpool works with water and/or air jets, and this creates an immediate problem when you think of bubbles. The jets will create too many bubbles with the presence of too much soap or oil, and certain products may get into the whirlpool?s internal plumbing, reducing its effectiveness and possibly damaging it. Hence, beware of the products you use. Here are some tips.

Go easy on the bubbles

It's perfectly fine to use ordinary bubble-bath oil to create some bubbles, but do so with caution ? apply it very sparingly. Use only a tiny amount of what you usually use (as your traditional product is designed to create bubbles in still water). Your best bet is to use the low-foaming kind, made especially for use in whirlpool baths. This will prevent your bubbles from filling the whole bathroom.

Avoid oils and too much soap

Avoid too much use of various shampoos, conditione's, soaps, and the like ? they also contain oils which may end up creating an overload of bubbles. After time they also deposit themselves inside the jets and the internal plumbing of the whirlpool bath, which leads to more required maintenance.

Use low-foam essences

Those low-foam essences, especially designed for whirlpool baths, not only help you control the creation of bubbles ? they are also offered in a variety of scents and aromas that will raise your whirlpool experience to the next level.

Bath salts are great

Bath salts are great ? Dead Sea bath salts are always recommended for whirlpool baths.

The truth is, you don't really need the bubbles and the foam in your whirlpool bath ? the jets already provide you with an excellent way of relaxing as it creates a mini-massage feeling in the most unique way. Combine that with some aromatherapy (in the form of candles, for example), some bathing salts, a little relaxing music and maybe a glass of wine, and your experience is guaranteed to be one of a kind.
