Using scissors oil stains on your swimming pool liner can be very damaging if not taken care of right away. When left untreated, the oil will soak into the fabric, leaving permanent discoloration. Fortunately, there are a few easy steps that you can take to remove the stains and keep your pool looking clean and inviting.
Use a pool net to skim the surface of the water and remove any visible oil. This will help prevent the oil from sinking into the liner and gripping onto the fabric.
Mix together a cleaning solution of 1 part bleach with 10 parts water. Dip a clean cloth into the mixture and blot the pool liner with it. This will help to break up oils and get them out of the fabric.
Once you’ve applied the cleaning solution, use a garden hose to rinse off area. This will help wash away any residue that is left behind.
If the stain still remains, apply a stain remover specifically designed for removing oil stains from pool liners. These products can be found at most home improvement stores. Follow instructions carefully to ensure that the product is safe for use around pools.
Once stain remover has had a chance to work, rinse the area again with the garden hose. This will help to ensure that all of cleaning product residue is washed away.
When area is completely dry, apply a protective sealant to the area. This will help to protect the pool liner from future damage and discoloration.
Removing scissors oil stains from swimming pool liners doesn’t have to be a difficult task. By following these steps, you can keep your pool looking clean and inviting all summer long.
