What's the best way to remove PIGEON DROPPINGS from CERAMIC TILES?

I've just moved to a new flat, and the pigeons are leaving nasty little dunghills on my glazed terracotta tiles. The acid from older droppings seems to have already eaten into the tiles, leaving unsightly dark marks behind.


Can anyone recommend


(a) a special detergent for deep-cleaning pigeon droppings?


(b) a protective varnish for tiles, which is resistant to the acid contained in pigeon droppings?


In fact, if anyone has ANY tips on how to keep the little feathery pests away (humane methods only please), I'd be ever so grateful!

(You did not say where your tiles are ...on the window sill outside?)





I would use something like a Lysol detergent ... or some Lysol disinfectant and some liquid detergent and 6 ot 8 layers of soaking wet paper towels ...until the droppings move off easily ...... use rubber gloves and an old


toothbrush





for protection: ask your hardware store people for a plastic coating...maybe that stuff they use instead of varnish on flooring ...What's the best way to remove PIGEON DROPPINGS from CERAMIC TILES?
shoot the pigeons
Pour a full bottle of fairy liquid in a mop bucket and pour the bucket over the ties ,leave to soak this should lift no probs.





Cola would also be good also.





dont really know how to shift the pest though.








good luck,

Well congratulations for your new flat. I can suggest a small amount of ammonia%26amp; lemon juice. I can also suggest you look in the loft if you have one. Sometimes you find the builder麓s who built the flat/ flats. leave spare tiles around. so you can replace the ones that a very damaged by the dropping. I can also suggest , you string a few Old C,D together, the reflection of the sun on the C,D will frighten the pigoen麓s away. Hope this help麓s you out
