Grandma Comes Up with New Pool Cleaning Hack — And It Works Wonders!
Who says tech-savvy millennials have a monopoly on clever hacks? Sometimes, the best tricks come from good old-fashioned wisdom — and one grandma has the internet buzzing after she revealed her surprisingly simple and effective pool-cleaning hack. No fancy equipment, no harsh chemicals — just smart, resourceful thinking that gets the job done.
Let’s dive into this unexpected cleaning method and explore why it works so well.
💡 The Hack: A Magic Eraser in the Skimmer
Yes, you read that right. This clever grandma took a basic melamine sponge (like a Magic Eraser) and tossed it into her pool skimmer — and the results were amazing.
What happened?
- It absorbed oils, sunscreen, and grime floating on the water’s surface.
- The pool looked noticeably clearer in just a few hours.
- The water felt cleaner, with fewer residues on the skin after swimming.
🧪 Why It Works
Melamine sponges have a unique open-cell structure that acts like a micro-scrubber. In water, they become slightly abrasive and can trap:
- Sunscreen and body oils
- Dirt and grime
- Algae residue on the surface
By placing one in the skimmer basket or letting it float near trouble areas, it naturally pulls surface gunk from the water — especially in busy pools during hot summer days.
🏊♀️ How to Use the Hack
Here’s how to try it yourself:
- Buy a standard melamine sponge (no added chemicals or scents).
- Place it in the skimmer basket or let it float near the pool wall.
- Leave it for a few hours or overnight.
- Remove, rinse, and replace as needed — or toss when dirty.
💡 Tip: Use multiple sponges for larger pools or high swimmer traffic.
