This is a warning to anybody with a swimming pool!!
Based on last year's experiences, be aware that Nivea sun block for kids is EVIL. It has a dye in it to make it "fun". The trouble is that this dye sticks to the pool surround, leaving an indelible green border. It starts off as green bobbles...algae alert but it's not.
Last summer I wrote to Nivea explaining the problem. Apart from an acknowledgement of reciept, they did not reply.
My advice is to ban Nivea for Kids and any copycat products from your pools, explaining to guests that staining will count as damage and loss of deposit
Normal cleaners cannot remove the stain. If anybody knows of something that does, please let me know.
The problem was not just one particular strength of Nivea sun block, but seemed to be all of those labelled as "fun".

Nivea Sun Block
Thanks David, we have had similar probs don't know whether it was caused by this but best cleaner proved 2B good old Bi-carb and white vinegar
Thanks Damian,
Right. I'll be giving that a go!
Mr C' you may well be seeing double. It is after all a miserable Sunday (here anyway). As an aside, yes the Public box is ticked.
Mini Quiz! It's FUN
I agree with Mr Trotters, it IS a shame that more are not involved. The lowest amount that can be pledged is £2.00 YES just TWO Pounds! Temperatures have dropped by 15 to 20 degrees over the last two days. We had snow at 1300m. I am lucky. I am not living in a tent having lost personal possesions.
Anyhow. Back to my question...Go to Mini quiz for Abruzzo group. Entry s free! Gratis!
Pools. A new liner can cost thouands! Good advice maybe is worth a couple of quid to the dispossesed?
