Similar to other pool surfaces, algae, dirt and other stains can form on the pool interior despite the use of pool-cleaning chemicals. You can remove stains from your pool's Pebble Sheen finish and should do so to keep the pool clean and sanitary.
Things You Will Need
- Bucket
- 1/2 gallon white vinegar
- Sponge
- Toothbrush
- Baking soda
- Cloths
Tip
Clean your pool interior at the beginning and end of each pool season. Use the appropriate additives to keep your pool clean and sanitary throughout the swimming season.
-
Drain your pool according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow the Pebble Sheen surface to dry completely to kill stain-causing mold or mildew spores present.
-
Pour 1/2 gallon of warm water into a bucket. Add 1/2 gallon of white vinegar.
-
Soak a sponge in the vinegar solution. Wipe down the Pebble Sheen surface to remove stains left by mold or mineral deposits.
-
Dip an old toothbrush in the diluted vinegar. Sprinkle baking soda over the bristles.
-
Scrub stains that are difficult to remove with the safe abrasive. Rinse the toothbrush as needed. Continue to scrub with the toothbrush and sponge to remove all the stains.
-
Rinse the Pebble Sheen surface by wiping it with a damp cloth. Dry the surface with clean cloths before allowing it to air-dry the remainder of the way.
