Hello, new pool owners here looking for some cleaning tips on my fiberglass pool. I have two specific challenges that I’m trying to get clean:

1) Adhesive residue. My builder masked off by taping plastic in place over the fiberglass pool when he poured the concrete deck. There is some difficult adhesive residue that is taking a ton of elbow grease to get out. I’m currently just using a dish sponge dish sponge designed for ceramic pots. With a lot of scrubbing I’m getting up the adhesive but it’s taking a lot of work. I’ve been hesitant to try something like “goo gone” because I know some will get into the water. Should I just use “goo gone” or is there something else that would work here?

2) Concrete splatter. Despite the masking there is some concrete splatter at the waterline/rim in a few areas. A stiff brush won’t get it off, but I can usually chip it off with my finger nails. Is there something else I can use to break this free without damaging/scratching the fiberglass?

Thanks!
 
Goo gone is fine. Put on paper towel sparingly, rub. If you use sparingly won’t get in the pool. Use some Windex to clean goo gone off.. all good.
