BOCA RATON POOL TILE CLEANING

Pool tile cleaning in Boca Raton is needed when mildew and stains build-up over time, especially right at the water line of your pool. Serious cases can involve loose tiles and/or missing grout. Pool tile cleaning is a great way to give your pool a fresh “new” look! If regular maintenance isn’t enough, but a complete pool remodel is an overshoot, then a professional deep cleaning strikes the perfect balance. The Pool Butler’s expert technicians will make your Boca Raton pool tile look immaculate and brand new. This will include one or more of the following steps.

1. CLEAN UP ANY ORGANIC MATERIALS

Use a rag or sponge to clear away any material such as dirt, leaves, or grass clippings that may have collected on the surface of your tiles.

2. BRUSH YOUR WATERLINE TILES

With a stiff brush, scrub away the calcium carbonate by working quickly in circulating movements. A toothbrush also works very well.

3. APPLY A CLEANER AS NEEDED – LAST POOL TILE CLEANING STEP

If your dirt and grime build up is minimal, you can use household products like vinegar with water, baking soda and vinegar, toothpaste, or even dish soap to remove deposits.

For tough stains or calcium silicate scaling, you’ll need to clean the area using a pumice stone. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH YOUR TILES! Stubborn stains may require the use of commercial tile cleaner, stain eraser, or a sulfuric acid-based product. These are very harsh, acidic cleaning chemicals and should only be used by someone who knows how to handle such chemicals. Always test on a small patch of your tile and wear protective gloves. And make sure that you wait a few days before using your pool.

4. TRY SODA BLASTING

If your cleaning efforts have been unsuccessful at removing the stains from tiles, you can try soda blasting. This technique is recommended over salt or glass bead blasting for waterline glass tiles and involves blasting baking soda out of a high-pressure nozzle. You may wish to hire a professional to do this.
