Step by step: how to clean the canvas pool
Necessary items
- Neutral soap or mild detergent.
- Non-abrasive sponge.
- Bucket with warm water.
- Soft bristle brush.
- Clean cloth or towels.
- Hose with clean water.
- Disinfectant suitable for plastic surfaces (optional).
Pool cleaning
- Prepare the workspace: Choose a wide, clean and flat place where you can spread the tarp. Ideally, do this on a grass surface or extra tarp to prevent it from getting dirty again while you clean it.
- I shook the canvas: If the canvas has dust or visible dirt, gently shake it to remove loose particles. This step is key to prevent dust from mixing with water and making cleaning difficult.
- Prepare the cleaning solution: In a bucket, mix warm water with a little neutral soap or mild detergent. Avoid abrasive or chlorine products, as they can damage the plastic material of the pool.
- Initial sponge cleaning: Use a non-abrasive sponge soaked in the cleaning solution and wipe it over the entire surface of the canvas, including the inside and outside. Pay special attention to corners and folds, where dirt tends to accumulate the most.
- Brushing Stubborn Stains: If you find difficult stains, use a soft bristle brush to scrub gently. Do not use hard brushes because they could scratch or weaken the canvas.
- Rinse with clean water: Use a hose to rinse the entire surface of the tarp. Be sure to remove any remaining soap, as it could create foam or residue when filling the sink.
- Disinfection (optional): If you want a deeper cleaning, apply a disinfectant suitable for plastics or dilute a little white vinegar in water (one part vinegar to four parts water). Wipe this solution with a cloth and then rinse again.
- Drying: Let the tarp air dry completely before assembling it. If you’re in a hurry, you can use a clean cloth or towels to dry the wet parts. Make sure there is no standing water in the folds, as it can cause mold or bad odors.
