To remove calcium deposits from pool tile, empty the pool by 6 inches, apply acidic gel cleaner to the tile using a lint-free cloth, scrub the tile with a nylon brush, and then wipe away the cleaner with a wet rag. Use a pumice stone to rub away stubborn stains.
- Drain the pool and apply cleaner
Empty the pool by 6 inches, and lie down on the edge of the pool so that you can easily access the calcium-stained areas. Use a lint-free cloth to apply an acidic gel tile cleaner to the stained tile. Let the cleaner stay on the calcium deposits for around 15 minutes.
- Scrub away the calcium deposits
Fill a bucket with clean water, immerse a nylon brush in the water, and then scrub the tile in circular motions to loosen the calcium deposits. Wet a rag, and use it to wash away the gel, rinse the rag, wring out water, and repeatedly wash the tile to remove all the gel. Allow the tile to dry.
- Remove stubborn stains
Inspect the area for remaining stains, outline the stains with a crayon, and then apply gel on the stained areas. In circular motions, scour the stains with a nylon brush, and wipe off the gel using a wet rag. In case of persistent calcium deposits, apply gel on the deposits, rub the deposits with a pumice stone, and then wash the tile with clean water. Refill the pool with water.
