A device for cleaning leaves and debris from swimming pools comprising a reticulated bag having an open mouth and closed end. The mouth is connected to the nozzle of a high pressure water hose, which in turn is connected to an automatic swimming pool cleaner of the type that floats and propels itself about the pool by means of a high pressure water supply. A flotation collar is connected to the bag so that it will float semi-submerged, a portion of the mouth being above the water to trap floating leaves and debris. The flotation collar is detachable so that the hose and bag will sink for cleaning the bottom of the pool. The hose is sufficiently flexible and weighted so that the bag can tip upward while on bottom, with the mouth facing the bottom and the hose on the forward side of the mouth. The rearward side of the mouth scrapes the bottom, aiding in trapping leaves from the bottom as the swimming pool cleaner drags the hose and bag about the pool.

A method of cleaning leaves and debris from the bottom of a swimming pool, comprising the steps of: connecting the mouth of a reticulated bag to the nozzle of an outlet hose of a swimming pool cleaner of the type that has a floating body, an inlet hose connected to a high pressure water supply, a flexible outlet hose for discharging high pressure spray for cleaning, and means for the body to self-propel itself about the swimming pool; the nozzle being oriented so as to direct water spray generally into the bag; lowering the bag to the swimming pool bottom with the bag oriented so that the hose nozzle is on the upper portion of the mouth; releasing the hose so that its weight causes the closed end of the bag to tip upwardly, with the mouth facing generally towards the swimming pool bottom and the nozzle on the forward portion of the mouth with respect to the spray, the rearward portion of the mouth being in contact with the swimming pool bottom; and providing water pressure to the swimming pool cleaner so that it will drag the hose and bag about the pool, the rearward edge of the mouth preventing leaves and debris from escaping.
