How Do You Use Chlorine Bleach To Sanitize Wading Pools?
Mold and germs build up in wading pools–especially if water is in them. Use chlorine bleach to kill the mold and bacteria. Disinfect the pool with chlorine bleach before using it for the first time, before putting away for the season, after a user contracts an illness, if the water sits for more than two days and if mold appears. Fill the bottom fourth of a bucket with chlorine bleach. Add water until it is about three-fourths of the way full. Use a stick to mix the water and bleach. Empty any debris or standing water from the wading pool. Pour half the bucket of bleach water into the pool. Dip the rag into the bleach water and run it over the sides of the pool. Prop the wading pool against a wall or tree, with the inside facing the tree or wall. Dip the rag in the bleach water and clean the outside and bottom of the wading pool. Dump the rest of the bleach water over the bottom of the pool. Use a hose to rinse both the inside and outside of the pool. Let dry.
