Did you know that summers in Las Vegas can reach over 100°F? Having a swimming pool in your backyard in these situations is fantastic. But, owning one comes with obligations.

Leaves, branches, pine needles, and other things could end up in your pool. Cleaning the debris out of the water could be a struggle, regardless of whether you’re using the pool. So the best way to protect it is with covers.

Yet, even the pool cover needs cleaning, so we don’t end up with bigger problems. 

So before you search for swimming pool repairs Las Vegas to help you with your pool, here are some tips and tricks to help you deal with it.

Why Should You Keep Your Pool Cover Clean?

Pool covers are essential for protecting our pools from further damage and debris entering the water. Plus, bad weather conditions could really pollute the pool water, so rather than considering it a pool accessory, a pool cover is a necessity. 

Here are a few reasons why keeping it clean is important:

• Short Durability: The lack of cleaning of your pool cover might result in shorter durability, so if you want to reuse it, you need to take good care of it. 
• Damage: Sticks and other sharp objects that could possibly end up on your pool cover are a sure tool for damaging it. Plus, if there is unexpected pressure on the cover, it may break and damage easily. 
• Spoiling the Pool Water: Opening the pool cover once a week – so the pool water chemicals can evaporate – is a must. To open the pool cover without cleaning it will end up with all the dirt going inside it and thus end with muddy water full of germs.

How To Keep Your Pool Cover Clean?

Your pool cover could be automatic or manual. Regardless, the cleaning techniques for both are the same. The only difference is the storage, as automatic pool covers stay attached.

Following are some tricks that can help you with how you can keep it clean: 

• Pool Brush – If you are looking for a regular everyday cleaning, a brush will help you swipe the debris off the cover.
• Leaf Blower – This simple method would blow the dirt away.
• Water Hose – Spraying it with water by using a hose, then drying it with a leaf blower so it won’t stay wet is a sure way to clean your pool cover.
• Pool Rake – This will help you collect the dirt with several simple movements. 
• Hand Soap or Dish Detergent – If the cover is stained, scrubbing it with simple detergents will make it spotless.

For a save storage of the manual pool cover, you should follow these steps: 

• Clean it thoroughly;

• Fold it carefully;
