How to Remove Yellow Stains from Vinyl？
Yellow stains often appear from minerals, sunscreen residue, and algae stained vinyl in the areas surrounding a pool or the pool itself. Having the proper equipment, such as a robot pool cleaner, which serves to maintain your pool area preventing build-up to ensure no discoloration occurs. In this blog, we’re going to show you ways to remove yellow stains from vinyl safely, simply, and compatible with your pool system.
The Reason behind Yellow Stains on Vinyl
The main causes of yellowing:Vinyl vinyl, usually in the form of yellow stains
- Water that contains iron or other metals
- Lotions, organic debris and oils
The last thing you’d want to see is algae growth, particularly if it’s yellow or mustard algae. As you can see, the algae growing on the surface of the spa can ruin your experience.
Incorrect pH or Ssanitizer Levels
Using tools like a pool vacuum, skimmer, or pool robotic pool cleaner regularly can prevent such things from happening. But once stains develop, more specialized cleaning methods are needed.
How to Clean Yellow Stains from Vinyl | A Step by Step Guide
Test and Balance Your Water Chemistry First test your pool or hot tub’s pH, chlorine and metal levels. Imbalanced water may contribute to or exacerbate staining. Bring water to ideal levels:
- pH: 7.4–7.6
- Chlorine: 1–3 ppm
Cleaning with a Vinyl-Safe Cleaner Use a stain remover that is vinyl-safe or a paste made from baking soda and water. Scrub gently with a microfiber cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh abrasives.
Use a Pool Vacuum for Algae If algae is one of the issues, you can use a pool vacuum for algae or get a vacuum cleaner for pool with proper filtration. And for that extra deep cleaning, a wall climbing pool cleaner or pool vacuum robot: the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro, and the Beatbot AquaSense 2 are capable of cleaning stains that are stuck along vertical plane surfaces.
If metal is, in fact, to blame, use a sequestering agent or metal stain remover designed for use on vinyl surfaces.
Use Your Robot Pool Cleaner A high-quality robot pool cleaner, such as a Maytronics pool cleaner or another swimming pool robot cleaner, may save the day, allowing your pool to be cleaned daily, minimizing organic accumulation, and limiting stains.
