A toothbrush and this liquid from Lidl remove pigeon droppings from our terraces or balconies

It is necessary, for example, to detect mold in time, or remove green moss from the floor to prevent someone from slipping. But again, it is important to take care of cleaning the awning and removing stains from the marble.

In short, there are many jobs to do and they should never be neglected.

Unpleasant surprises

But those who have a garden, a terrace or a balcony must necessarily have a bitter enemy. We are referring to pigeons and other birds, which litter and leave their droppings everywhere. In fact, everyone has encountered dirty floors, windowsills and railings.

Their excrement, in addition to being very corrosive, could have negative consequences for human health. In fact, pigeon guano could carry dangerous diseases such as salmonellosis.

Every day we strive to prevent these birds from dirtying our outdoor surfaces. Of course, using homemade methods that do not harm them. But we often end up with bitter surprises. And what to do?

It is necessary to remove the excrement and clean it thoroughly. Before doing so, it is necessary to equip yourself with gloves and a mask. Now we can fill a basin with hot water and pour a few drops of neutral dish detergent. With the help of a brush or an old toothbrush, we can do the cleaning. To dry the surface, we will use a sheet of newspaper or an old kitchen towel, which we will then throw away.

If you still notice the stain, we can repeat the operation or use baking soda. We pour the product directly on the stain and add a few drops of water. We can quickly solve the problem thanks to its abrasive action. To clean pigeon droppings, therefore, these remedies can be really useful.

Of course, before applying the remedies indicated in the previous lines, we must analyze the type of surface to be treated. It is preferable to avoid scrubbing too hard or using very abrasive objects. You can find this liquid in the cleaning section of Lidl supermarkets.
