How to clean a glass pool fence

If it's been a while since you last cleaned your pool fence glass, some stubborn dirt will likely be present. Bird droppings, insects and mud may stick to the fence, creating unsightly marks. In these circumstances, you should use a dry newspaper or dry cloth to "pre-treat" the marks, removing the bulk of the detritus before hosing down.

Try to avoid abrasive scrubbing pads or scourers, as these may leave permanent marks on the glass.

In most cases, you won't need additional cleaning products to clean your glass pool fence. If you decide that soap or a glass cleaner is necessary, we recommend that you hose the glass down thoroughly after applying the product, ensuring you have completely removed it. Leaving the product on your glass will increase the risk of smears.

Often, stainless steel fixtures will hold the glass panels of your pool's fence in place. You will need to clean these at the same time as the glass to ensure optimal results. You can use the same process to clean both the fixtures and panels.

Cleaning the pool fence is an excellent opportunity to check the integrity of the panels and take note of any repairs or additional maintenance that is required. It's also a chance to check the security of the fence.

Remember that pool fencing needs to meet regulatory requirements for security in order for your pool to be legal. Regular inspection alongside cleaning enables owners to take prompt action should any issues with the fence become apparent.
