What solution -home made or bought will help dissolve stubborn bird poo from my paving before I pressureclean?

Question

Please provide a home made recipe to remove/dissolve stubborn bird poo from textured paving or recommend a product available in Australia. I don't really want to scrub as it is too large an area which is constantly bombarded by birds but even pressure cleaning alone still takes ages!

First of all, bird poo is seriously known for carrying diseases, so be careful not to touch it barehanded. Try to lay some bleach down for a little while before you go about this, to kill the diseases.

Believe it or not, Coca Cola is the best known product for removing bird droppings. I don't know what to say about it. Just pour it on, and leave it for about 2 hours, then pressure wash. I'm not kidding in the least. When I was in the NAVY, we had all kinds of cleaning products, but coca cola was what we used for this very purpose. State Troopers in some areas actually keep 2 gallons of CocaCola in the trunk for the specific purpose of cleaning blood off the highway after a wreck. Makes you not want to drink it, huh?

Answer 2

Diesel fuel will clean almost anything. Just make sure that it won't "eat" whatever it is you're trying to clean with it.

Answer 3

It will be alot of work but pressure wash it first to get rid of the majority of the goo. Then use the Coca Cola trick. Pressure a samll area to see if it worked, if not then try a specific cement or driveway chemical cleaner and pressure wash again.

Answer 4
