Troubleshooting

Scraper is not removing algae effectively.

Ensure the scraper is being used on a glass surface and that the scraping edge is clean and free of debris. Apply consistent pressure. For very stubborn algae, a second pass may be necessary.

Handle feels slippery during use.

Rinse the handle with clean water to remove any residue. Ensure your hands are dry before gripping. For better grip, consider drying the handle between uses.

Scraper seems difficult to maneuver.

The 18" handle is designed for reach. Practice using the length of the handle for better control and leverage, especially in tighter spots. Gentle movements are often more effective.
