Maintaining a pool can be a real challenge for homeowners. The sheer size of the pool combined with the quick buildup of dirt can make regular cleaning a hassle, especially during the summer months. But fear not, we have a trick for you that has gone viral, thanks to one clever grandma.

Last year, Lisa Pack stumbled upon a fantastic idea that she thought her friends could benefit from. Little did she know that her discovery would become an internet sensation. She excitedly shared her findings on Facebook, saying, “Hey everyone! I had to post this. Everyone knows my pool turns green this time of year. But I saw this idea on Facebook and decided to give it a try. I had a box of Mr. Clean magic erasers lying around. I threw one in the skimmer basket, and to my amazement, the cloudiness disappeared. I can’t believe something so cheap could help so much!”

In the middle of the summer, this trick is a godsend! Lisa claims that all you need to keep your pool’s water crystal-clear is a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Simply place one in your skimmer basket, which you likely already have if you own a pool, and move it around in the water. The special sponge will collect all the green gunk that accumulates over time.

If you’re looking to save even more money, consider buying bulk packages of melamine foam, which is the same material as magic erasers but much cheaper. Lisa boasts, “There’s nothing – no green, no slime on the bottom. My pool has never looked better!”

It’s incredible to think that a cleaning tool usually reserved for bathrooms and kitchens could work just as effectively in a pool. We certainly didn’t expect it, but we’re definitely going to give it a try and see the results for ourselves.

So, if you have a pool at home or know someone who is always complaining about the never-ending task of pool maintenance, be sure to share this incredible pool cleaning hack. Let’s make pool cleaning a breeze for everyone!
