I need to Know the best way to remove bird droppings from woodwork in the home?

try using a damp towel or wash cloth then use pledge or lemon oil to seal itI need to Know the best way to remove bird droppings from woodwork in the home?
Note: Before you even start to remove them ALWAYS wear gloves. You can get any number of bird diseases if you have even the smallest cut. Plus I would wear a Face mask due to the fact that you can inhale bacteria from the bird droppings. My brother-in-law was an inspector at a chicken plant and he got very ill. Thought he had cancer.... Turned out to be from being around all of the birds....


Now for your answer - lol


If you know the manufacturer's name I would try and contact them for what they recommend. If not, I would call your local hardware store or go by there and they will be more than happy to help you. Wish I could help further.... Just wanted to you to be cautious around the bird droppings.... Take care and Good Luck....I need to Know the best way to remove bird droppings from woodwork in the home?

As Directer and Chief of Poop-scooping for our aviary I feel qualified to answer this.....





You can't. Well, not completely.





If the wood has been treated and sealed, you can use very warm water and an anti-bactorial dish soap. If it's built up a lot you are gonna have a difficult time scraping it off without damaging the wood. So you will be disolving it off slowly.





If the wood is untreated, the droppings will get into the grain. By adding water you only force it in farther. This is why it's recommend that you replace wood perches inside the bird cage.





You do not need a full body bio-suit, resperator, or EPA permit to remove bird droppings. Your domesticated birds live in (I hope) a clean, germ free environment. Therefore they are not exposed to diseases that wild birds sometimes carry, and there is nothing dangerous about their droppings.





For the record, most problems related with bird droppings occur after they have dried, turned powdery, and become airborn. And since you don't leave your bird droppings laying around that long ...(you don't, do you?)...there won't be a problem.





In the future, if you must have your bird in an area exposed to wood, you should try to prepare and seal it as best you can. Sapphyre's idea of Orange Oil or Pledge works well.





I'd be more worried about the bird chewing up the wood, wouldn't you?

I guess I am the only one who read the question right, I know you would never want to use a pressure washer in the house, I know I wouldnt want to. I have woodwork in my house and I have had to clean it thanks to my birds, what I do it I use some warm water and dish soap, once you get it all off dry the wood really good with a towel, now what I will usually do after that is I will use the Pledge Orange Oil. Makes the wood look really good.

depending on the kind of bid.. but thanks to God, just a lil soap or 4o9 and a damp wash colth should do the trick
ijust put a wet papertowel on it and let it soak for a few minutes it should come right off.
you can try using a pressure washer
try using a little wd40
I usually use a damp cloth, possibly a little soap. We get droppings on our dining room table because our lovebird sits on the chandelier. Fortunately, he's just a little guy, so there is only a little clean up! I will usally wipe up the area with an anti-bacteria wipe to be safe.
