Just keep scrubbing!
How do you clean out a year's worth of trash, algae, and goose poop from a concrete pool over 2,000 feet long? Behold the super duper Super-Scrubber! đź§˝
As the Reflecting Pool drains over several days, our fantastic facilities crew cleans up with this hard-working scrubbing machine, as well as several shovels, buckets, and a lot of sweat and elbow grease. The job takes a few days, and refilling the pool takes a few more, but before long, we’ll be able to look back and “reflect” on a job well done.
