Chlorine useage in pressure washer near pool

[Tony B]

Can I use Chlorine Bleach in my pressure washer to clean my wood deck which is attached to the pool without ruining the vinyl liner?

[PoolDoc]

Probably.

But the sensitivity of the print on the vinyl varies from liner to liner even among lingers from a single company. I'd recommend soaking synthetic sponge in bleach, and then rubbing it against a small inconspicuous area of the liner to test. Better safe, than sorry!

You might want to dilute the bleach a little as well. Straight bleach can be hard on the rubbers in the pressure washer's intake system. No liner, but I use diluted bleach to pressure wash my pool decking. It's a good option because you don't have to worry about contaminating the pool with whatever other cleaning product you might have used.
