Making a simple paste of water and baking soda creates a non-abrasive cleaner that works wonders on pool tiles and grout. It can even be used on a concrete or stone pool deck. This is probably the easiest and cheapest way to clean your pool naturally. Baking soda will also increase the alkalinity of your pool and is much cheaper than most alkalinity enhancers.

Bleach – a great weapon against algae
Also known as sodium hypochlorite, regular household bleach (which contains 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, the active ingredient in bleach) can remove grout stains that baking soda could not. Extra tip: Bleach can also be used to shock the pool. After all, shocking your pool is basically super-chlorinating it, which means raising the chlorine level to the point where it kills any bacteria and algae that may be lurking in the water.
Olive oil – a stain and sediment absorber
Okay, just to be clear, we don’t want any oil in the pool water. But the pool slab is a different story. Maybe you’ll find a stain of tree sap or a sticky stain, who knows what the kids may have spilled there. Go to the pantry and get some olive oil.
