My normal SOP is to drag the solar cover to the driveway hose it down and attempt to get it off the ground to dry off. Then fold it, without stepping on it, and dragging it to the garage. I have seen several posts where pool owners roll it up on the reel, cover it, and store it that way…which seems far easier for me. My only concern; is there a problem with mold since there would be water on the bubble side when it is being rolled up? TIA.

Never have mold on mine. Roll it on the reel, cover it and forget about it.
You can buy a pre-made cover.
Or you can use this with a couple bungies. Cut into 4' wide strips end to end, cover and bungie. White side out.

I’ve had a couple solar covers since 2018. I have a reel. As I’m rolling it up for the final time I hose it off. Straight into the garage for the winter. I don’t dry it at all. I’ve Never had mold on it.
