Usually I would hose it off with it off the pool and on the lawn. This year, I'm thinking of cleaning it on the pool. Since the cover is spread out over the pool the water will just fall through. Its kinda a pain on the lawn cause I gotta mover the cover around quite a bit (grassy area by pool isn't large enough to fit the cover).

I'll do the mild bleach.

No oxyclean votes out their? I mention oxyclean cause maybe it will help get the dirt out of the cover.
