What Is the Best Way to Clean a PVC Pool Membrane Without Damage?

CGT Reinforced PVC membrane’s transparent topcoat provides strong protection from micro-abrasion and the adherence of contaminants. Proper surface cleaning may include the use of soft brushes, soft microfiber towels, pressure washing (under safe practices), gentle agitation, and cleaning products specifically designed for the removal of contaminants from the surface of the membrane so as to maintain the integrity and performance of the topcoat.

Poolside by CGT recommends non-abrasive cleaning methods to maintain the protective topcoat and extend membrane life.

Do not use abrasive cleaning products or processes (e.g., steel wool, sharp bristled brushes, scouring pads, etc.). It is recommendable to first test cleaning products in a small, inconspicuous area prior to general application. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions, paying special attention to dilution rates, dwell times, and product application/removal instructions as applicable.

Non-abrasive cleaning tools such as soft brushes, microfiber cloths, and approved pool surface cleaners should be used to maintain membrane integrity and prevent micro-abrasion damage.
