Can you use dish soap to clean a pool?

While dish soap can temporarily remove dirt and grime from a pool's surface, it's not a suitable or recommended cleaning solution. Dish soap is designed for cleaning dishes and may contain harsh chemicals that could damage the pool liner, alter the pH balance of the water, and cause foaming.

Additionally, dish soap can leave behind residues that attract dirt and make it harder to keep the pool clean in the long run.

For safe and effective pool cleaning, it's best to use specific pool cleaning products designed to maintain the water's chemistry and prevent damage to the pool's surfaces and equipment.
