Out door clean up

[godsgracegiven]

I am not sure if this belongs here or in the the garden forum. But I was doing some out door clean up today. I was looking at the kiddo's swimming pool from last year. It is really dirty, but it is still new. Can I clean it with something? There is some mold in it, is it garbage now? I need something safe for the kiddos and safe for the yard. Oh, probaly should add it is one of those hards plastic ones. TIA!

It should be fine... I would clean it up with some bleach... maybe let it set for awhile.

I agree, some bleach should fix it up fine.

is bleach safe for the grass?

I tried to kill some plants with bleach a few years ago. I poored at least a litre on each one. It didn't work. :/ Maybe you should do a little experiement, like a test patch in the home hair-dye kits. :)

Would vinegar be a gentle, less toxic alternative? Or would it be strong enough? :think

Depending on how much mold is on it, you could just soak some paper towels with beach (or bleach solution) and lay them on the affected area. Then when you do the actual washing there will be less bleach on your grass. I do not think a little bleach will do anything to most grasses.
