It is best to have your pool cleaned at least twice a year. If your pool has been closed or has not been in use in the cold seasons, it is best cleaned before you open it up again.
Vinegar is a popular home-pool cleaning option. It helps in removing light calcium buildup and grime on the swimming pool tiles. Cleaning with vinegar is a good option for smaller pools.
The simplest equipment required to clean the pool tiles are stiff bristled brushes, plastic buckets, skimmer nets and not to forget rubber gloves for your hands.
For cleaning a home-pool, you will need vinegar, baking soda and a sponge. You may also choose to opt for a mild commercial tile cleaning liquid.
