How to Clean an Inflatable Pool: 9 Simple Steps
Enjoy your cool, clean pool all summer by following the steps below.
Drain all the water from the pool and use a garden hose to rinse it down. This removes loose dirt and dust, preparing the pool for a deeper clean.
Apply a little mild dish soap on a soft sponge or cloth. Gently scrub the pool walls to remove any buildup of grime. This helps keep your pool looking fresh without using harsh cleaners. Rinse out all the soap when you’re done.
Avoid using harsh chemicals in pools used by young children, as sensitive skin can react to it.
After rinsing, let the pool dry fully. Sunlight kills germs naturally and stops mold from forming, helping keep water in your inflatable pool clean when you refill it.
Once the pool is dry, refill it with fresh water. Avoid adding chlorine if you want a chemical-free experience. Clean water is the best way to keep it fresh and safe.
A handheld pool skimmer makes it easy to scoop out leaves, bugs and other floating debris daily. This step keeps the water clear and reduces dirt buildup.
Add a teaspoon of baking soda per gallon of water. Baking soda helps control the pH level and naturally fights algae. It’s a simple method for keeping inflatable pool’s water clean naturally without using harsh chemicals. It is gentle and keeps your pool water safe.
A pool cover or tarp keeps dirt and leaves bugs out when the pool is not in use. Covering the pool is an easy way to maintain clean water for longer.
Add a few drops of essential oils, such as lavender or eucalyptus, for a fresh scent. These oils keep bugs away and make the water smell nice without chemicals.
Even with these natural tips, refreshing the water weekly is best. This stops bacteria from growing and keeps the pool fresh all season.
Understanding how to keep inflatable pool water clean naturally ensures that you use safe, effective methods without relying on harsh chemicals. With regular care, you’ll keep your pool water clear and ready for fun every day.
