Joyce asked: How do I remove a dead animal stain from a pool liner?

Dead animals in the pool not only affect the quality of the water, but when left for a period of time, the decay can leave a nasty stain on the liner of the pool. It is best to remove these organic stains with an enzyme cleaner and a good scrub. Here are the steps to remove the memories of the critter for good.

You Will Need:

  • Shock treatment
  • Scrub brush
  • Enzyme cleaner
  • Pool stain remover (available at pool supply stores)

Steps to Remove the Stain:

  1. Remove the dead animal from the water.
  2. Shock the pool to see if the extra chlorine will be enough to loosen the stain.
  3. Scrub the stained area with a scrub brush.
  4. If the stain does not come off, lower the chlorine level to 1ppm. If the chlorine levels are too high, the stain remover will not be effective.
  5. Apply the stain remover following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
  6. Scrub with a stiff brush to remove the stain.
  7. Enzyme cleaners can also be added to the water to work through the stain.
  8. Shock the pool again to restore the chlorine levels and prevent other stains from developing.

Additional Tips and Advice

  • Ascorbic acid is a natural stain remover. Simply crush up some vitamin C tablets and apply them directly to the stained area. Follow with a good brush to scrub the stain away.

I'm a stay-at-home mom who used to run a small housecleaning business. These days I consider myself more or a mad cleaning-scientist. I do most of the testing for our articles - as well as helping Mark & Melanie write them.
