We often use sunscreen when we swim out in the pool. Problematically, the sunscreen can leave oily residue behind in the pool, attracting unwanted bugs.
What do you do? Next time, drop a tennis ball or two into the pool. Believe it or not, the fuzz on a tennis ball can help soak up oil. It also can attract pet and dog hair.
5. When getting rid of bugs
Nothing is more annoying than finding insects, bugs, bees, or other pests in your pool. The giant ones can ruin your mood while you are taking a nice dip on a warm summer day.
Don’t fear! Next time, place dryer sheets in the filter baskets of your pool. The sheets act as a magnet for unwanted insects. You can also use citronella candles around your pool as the smell can also deter pests.
6. When cleaning stains
The next time you want to keep your pool stain-free, consider visiting your own pantry versus buying expensive store-bought products. Common pantry products such as vinegar, lime, and baking soda can do wonders for your pool.
Use vinegar against calcium buildup, lime juice for rust or metal stains, and baking soda for dirty tiles.
