Spilled salt

[Suzmoran]

A bag of salt left lying by the steps of plaster pool had a hole in it and some salt leaked onto steps. Greenish yellow covered part of the steps and marks go down the steps.

The top of step looks better after brushing but still yellow markings going down the steps
Thanks
Any suggestions

I quickly brushed out the remainder of the pile to stop that from happening further. Over the weekend I donned my scuba gear and spent some time on the bottom of the pool with a sock filled with crushed vitamin C tablets getting rid of the substantial stain.

Needless to say, I did not, and won't be using that salt again. Perhaps it was something in my pool water that caused this reaction so I am not (exactly) blaming the Clorox Salt.

Stairs stained yellow...Clorox salt?

Recently added a chlorine generator. I added Clorox salt. Now my stairs are stained yellow and my robot is collecting a Brown residue. Any thoughts?

Vinyl Metal Staining from Clorox pool salt.

Hey all, Just an FYI. With the never ending rain of the gulf coast I've gone through a lot of salt. Usually use mortons pool salt from wally world but this time they had Clorox brand pool salt. Only difference I saw was it was fine granular vs coarse. Dumped in 2 bags but since I was headed...
