    Scum layer on viny. Need help with something that works

    Tried the Vitamin C woth not much luck. Also tried the Magoc Eraser very softly and dis not see much difference. When you use the Magic Eraser does the water have to be dropped for it to scrub properly? I was rubbing in water since the water is high in the pool now. I heard people say Clean...
