Bird droppings are one of the homeowners’ worst nightmares. They are unsightly, messy, and present a health hazard. That’s why you need to remove bird droppings from your Nevada property as soon as they appear. However, while this task might seem simple enough, it’s actually a lot more challenging than it seems. We here at Peak Services know that a lot more goes into cleaning bird droppings than what meets the eye. And that’s why we are more than willing to share some valuable tips and tricks with you, helping you keep your property in top shape.
Consider getting professional help
Cleaning bird droppings from your property in Nevada isn’t rocket science. Anyone can do it if they want to. However, not everyone will have enough time, energy, or simply desire to clean bird droppings. Those people needn’t worry, as they have an easy solution at hand – paying for pressure washing Las Vegas services. They entail a crew that will come to your home already equipped with all the necessary tools and expertise that’s necessary to rid your home of bird droppings.
Dial our number to ensure that you get access to roof and turf cleaners Nevada loves.
If you decide to go with this option, it would be wise to look into accompanying services, as well. For example, paying for turf cleaning Henderson services at the same time as hiring a team of roof cleaners would ensure that your entire property is clean and free of any mess. Keep in mind that these services also prolong the lifespan of your turf and roof, so you are directly investing in your property and saving money. Sounds like a wise financial decision.
And once everything is clean, it would be a shame not to keep it that way. That’s why it’s a good idea to invest in bird guards in Nevada that will prevent pigeons from perching on your property. These solutions are humane yet effective, making them a perfect addition to your home. However, we understand that not everyone will want to hire a team of experts that will help them clean bird droppings. Don’t worry – we still have you covered with tips and tricks that are coming straight from the experts.
Assemble your kit for removing bird droppings from your Nevada property
Every cleaning project is going to require two things – some motivation and the right tools. Since you can’t clean bird droppings with your bare hands (nor should you want to do it), the first thing that you will have to do is assemble your tool kit. While you are free to include whatever product you want in your kit, as long as it won’t be damaging to your property, we suggest that you supply yourself with:
- Bucket
- Brush
- Scrapers
- Bin bag
- Shovel (if the situation is particularly alarming)
- Disinfectant
Removing the bird droppings will be easier if you gather all of your supplies in a bucket that you can carry around.
Of course, apart from these supplies, you will also need some water and possibly a hose. A hose will be needed if you are trying to clean a large number of bird droppings, as it will make it easier than just using water and a sponge.
Keep yourself protected
The first thing you should know is that bird droppings aren’t only unsightly – they are also dangerous. They can carry a lot of pathogens that are extremely dangerous for humans. Therefore, you need to keep yourself protected from inhaling or touching bird droppings.
We suggest that you find some old pieces of clothing that cover your entire body. To remove bird droppings from your Nevada property, it would also be wise to wear goggles, a mask, and gloves. This is particularly the case if you are cleaning an area that is fully covered with bird droppings. Hey, if that’s how our solar panel cleaning Henderson experts do it, then you can take a page out of their book, as well.
Where to begin?
We are going to assume that the bird droppings that you want to remove have already dried out, as they dry out pretty quickly. That’s why the first part of the process involves using a brush or a scrapper. You want to scrape off the dried-out parts and put the debris in a bin. However, nothing is ever as easy as it seems. As simple as it might seem, this part can come with a huge risk of inhaling the debris that will be scrapped off.
That’s why you will need to do this as gently as possible. Likewise, this is the part where that protective gear will come in extra handy. This only goes if you don’t have to clean a vast surface. Otherwise, the start will be a little bit different.
If you need to clean larger areas…
If a huge portion of your wall or balcony has been impacted, then it’s not logical to try and scrape off the debris. You will simply lose too much precious time. In this situation, it would be effective to use a hose and hose down the area. The same precautionary measures are going to be necessary here, as well.
Using a hose will make the entire process a lot faster and more efficient.
Hosing down the area is not going to be necessary only when you are working with larger areas. If you are trying to remove bird droppings from your Nevada property that are located on stone or tile flooring, then you will also need to begin by hosing the area. Sticking to these initial guidelines will make room for the successful removal of all bird droppings down the line.
Remove the remaining bird droppings from your Nevada property
Once you have successfully managed to remove the top layer of the dried-out bird droppings, it’s about time to focus on the remaining stain. Stains can be notoriously difficult to remove. Hey, even the most experienced commercial solar panel cleaners in Las Vegas can sometimes have trouble with it. But just because something is difficult doesn’t mean that it’s impossible. To remove bird droppings from your Nevada property after they have dried out, we suggest that you dip a scrubber or a brush in water and remove the remaining stains after first scrubbing the area.
Water will dampen the area and it will make it easier to clean. You don’t need to use any additional detergent or cleaner, as water will do the trick just fine. But if you want to add something to the water, you can always use baking soda. It’s known as the holy grail of DIY cleaning solutions, as it has incredible cleaning potential.
Finish it off with a disinfectant
Now, this is one of those secrets that most people don’t know about. Rare are those people who know that a disinfectant is a must when dealing with bird droppings. When in their wet form, bird droppings aren’t such a hazard. But if they have had enough time to dry out, then they can start growing fungi and bacteria. And you don’t need us to tell you how many health issues this could bring if inhaled by you.
Finish it off with a disinfectant and you won’t have to worry about bacteria and fungi.
If you have carefully followed the steps up until this point, then you should have successfully removed most of the bird stains from your property.
Once everything is so clean and sparkly, it would be a shame not to finish it off with a disinfectant. This solution is going to ensure that all the bacteria that might have lingered on are killed. For the disinfectant to work its magic, it would be best if you finished removing the stain, wiping the area clean and letting it dry completely, and then spraying the disinfectant spray.
Repeat the process as necessary
We don’t know your living situation, but we do know that it would be a shame to let all of your hard work go to waste. Thus, we advise that you find a way to keep the birds away from your property by investing in bird guards or deterrents. But if that’s not a possibility for some reason, then you ought to stay proactive with cleaning.
It’s much easier to remove bird droppings from your Nevada property once they haven’t had a chance to accumulate. Because once the entire wall or your whole balcony has become covered with bird droppings, you will need to invest a lot more time, effort, and energy into cleaning it. Therefore, it’s better to make this task a weekly errand – along with vacuuming the floors and dusting your home. Invest half an hour into the process every week or you will have to spend an entire weekend cleaning bird droppings (which isn’t such a pleasant task). It’s completely up to you – but we know what we would choose.
