Background Info:

Many people are looking for a natural alternatives to chemical sanitizer cleaners. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizer with the ability to sanitize produce, materials etc. Therefore, food grade hydrogen peroxide could be used to sanitize a soaking tub. 

Almost everyone likes to relax in a hot tub, but most people do not like cleaning them. Hard water and foreign materials can stick to the sides of a tub very quickly, and bacteria breed fast. 

Chemical such as chlorine or bromine are common cleaning materials for hot tubs. Hydrogen peroxide is an excellent non-toxic alternative to using harsh chemical cleaners. For the hot tub, hydrogen peroxide should be used in a high strength solution, not the 3% commonly found in stores. When poured into a soaking tub, hydrogen peroxide immediately disassociates into water and oxygen ions. These ions are so unstable that they quickly attach to anything within reach, destroying bacteria on contact. Within several hours the reaction is completed, leaving stable oxygen and water. 

Hydrogen peroxide can also be used as a weekly treatment for standing water. Keep in mind though that bacteria multiples in warm temperatures so it's still a good idea to drain you tub regularly. To sanitize a hot tub, hydrogen peroxide is thoroughly mixed into the water at 1/4 to 1/2 cup per 100 gallons. Note, that concentrated hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidizer which can cause skin to burn if poured directly from the bottle. Take care and follow all indicated precautions on the bottle.
