How do you clean the vegetable oil from your pool that husband put in to get rid of mosquitos?

1. Skim floating oil with a skimmer: Use a pool skimmer to remove as much floating oil as possible from the water's surface.

2. Absorb oil with oil absorbent: Apply oil-absorbent pillows, pads, or socks specifically designed to absorb oil and petroleum-based substances. Follow the instructions on the product packaging.

3. Use dishwashing or degreasing detergent: Add ½ to 1 cup of dishwashing or degreasing detergent to your pool. It can aid in dispersing the oil and making it easier to remove. Make sure the product you use is designed for pool use.

4. Shock your pool: Shock the pool with chlorine or a non-chlorine shock treatment. This will help break down and oxidize the oil. Shock according to the manufacturer's instructions.

5. Run the pool pump: Keep the pool pump running continuously for several hours to circulate the water and aid in the removal of the oil.

6. Leave the pool filter running: Backwash and clean your pool filter if necessary to remove any trapped oil.

7. Rinse and vacuum: Rinse the pool walls, steps, and bottom thoroughly with a hose. Vacuum the pool to remove any remaining oil on the surface.

8. Monitor and repeat if necessary: Continue monitoring the pool and perform these steps again if any oil reappears.

Remember, this process might take several days, and you may need to repeat it until all the oil is completely removed from your pool. It's important to follow all the safety guidelines and instructions provided on the products you use.
