Whirlpool bath low foam alternatives?

Hi all,

we have a whilpool bath and have been using special low foam bath essence and aromatherapy oils designed for whirlpools. But we've run out and I was wondering what other people use? Are there cheaper alternatives on the market that are low foam? Obviously normal bubble bath and shower gels are a no no with the jets on! :D

thanks,

Jo

    Some times the simple answer is the best :D

    I admit to having a whirlpools , although not a fan
    First time using it, bubbles on the floor, Also must admit to not even knowing about
    low foam.

    Ps forget about expensive cleaners, couple of dish-washing tabs work.
  • Ecover washign up liquid? Coconut oil based, hardly any foam (as no artificial foamers), eco friendly.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
  • LOL! Lemon scented! Hmm. we tried one of the original source shower gels, only a tiny amount which worked quite well. But would quite like a stronger scent and a bit more luxury feel. I used to love bath melts but bit concerned at the amount of residue that was left, plus the petals might have got into the system so we stopped using them. Anyone tried aromatherapy oils?
