Lisa Pack loves it when her grandchildren visit during the hot summer months. She relishes the time they spend together in her backyard pool and does everything she can to keep it looking clean and clear, which is not always an easy task.
Every week, Lisa would spend a minimum of 45 painstaking minutes cleaning the pool, only to see it quickly return to its grimy green color with slime covering the bottom. That's an awful lot of upkeep for one grandmother to handle on a weekly basis. The water in the pool was always cloudy, and the white steps had a darker, grimy sheen. It certainly didn't help that her home is surrounded by so many lush trees that dropped plenty of detritus into the water.
Then one day, Lisa's daughter came up with a possible solution to her swimming pool woes — and the key was a single Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
