Why does my glass pool fence go cloudy?

Splashed pool water dries on the glass and leaves calcium and mineral deposits, along with chlorine or salt residue. Sunscreen, body oils, dust and water spots build up on top, so clear glass slowly turns milky.

How often should a glass pool fence be cleaned?

As a guide, every one to three months, and more often over a busy Brisbane summer when the pool gets the most use. Rinsing the glass with fresh water after heavy use slows the build-up.

Can I clean a glass pool fence myself?

Yes. Rinse off loose dirt first, wash with a soft microfibre cloth and warm water with a little dishwashing liquid (or a 50/50 white vinegar and water mix for light water spots), rinse with clean water and dry with a squeegee from top to bottom.

What should I avoid when cleaning pool fence glass?

Avoid abrasive pads, steel wool and scrapers, which can scratch the glass, and harsh acids that can damage stainless steel spigots and fittings. Cleaning in hot direct sun also leaves streaks because the solution dries too fast.

How do I remove white calcium stains?

Light marks often lift with a vinegar solution left on for a few minutes and wiped off. Heavy, long-standing scale usually needs professional treatment, because scrubbing harder tends to scratch the glass.
