Damaged Pool Furniture

08/22/2008 - I spoke to the girl in the office (and Tom who came in while we were talking) about one of the reclining pool chairs whose back was coming apart and needed fixing. I also noted that that each of the metal tables still needed some nuts to hold the tops and legs together. This was the third time I had spoken to someone about this in the past two months. These items were corrected on 08/27/2008.



In addition, to the broken items that were fixed, there are several chairs that need to be "restrapped" and all the chairs should be cleaned.



Cleaning old straps: New vinyl straps have a finish on them, which is damaged by: commercial use, sun, chemicals, suntan oil, pool chlorine, harsh cleaning agents, unfiltered irrigation water and the pods and sap of several tropical plants and trees. When a mild soap--such as dish detergent--will no longer clean the straps, you should begin to add small amounts of household bleach. We recommend that you begin with about 20 percent bleach to 80 percent warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly when finished. Incrementally increase the amount of bleach as needed to clean the stains. When a solution of 50 percent household bleach and 50 percent soap and water will not clean the straps, it is probably time to begin thinking about replacing them.
