How to Remove Bird Droppings From a Wooden Deck
- Put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands. Fill a bucket with hot water.
- Dip a stiff scrub brush in the water.
- Rinse the area with water from the garden hose to remove the loosened droppings and soap.
- If some of the droppings are still there, clean the wood with a commercial deck cleaner.
Similarly, how do you clean dog poop off a wood deck?
A few solutions:
- Baking soda: Sprinkle it over the areas, then sweep with a broom, making sure it fills in grooves of wood and in between deck boards.
- Vinegar mixed with water: Spray or dip a rag or brush in a bucket of the solution and scrub the deck.
- Scrape off any loose droppings with a trowel or scraper.
- Mix a small amount of Simply Green or a mild detergent like Dawn, into a bucket with hot water.
- Pour some onto the bird droppings and then soak a rag with the same cleaner mixture.
- Use a bristle or bronze brush (not metal) and scrub away the bird droppings.
Keeping this in consideration, does WD 40 Remove bird poop?
WD-40: the bird-poop cleaner to rule them all. Left on bird droppings for just 30 seconds, WD-40 works its magic by loosening dried stains. Just rinse the remnants away with a hose, and reapply on any stubborn markings.
To clean mold from a finish that you don't want to damage, the best tools are a bucket containing a mixture of 1/3 cup laundry detergent per gallon of water, and a scrub brush. If the mold has stained the wood, a deck cleaner containing oxygen bleach can help to remove the stains. Another option is white vinegar.
