How to Remove Bird Droppings. Cleaning bird droppings off of your personal items, such as clothing or furniture, is necessary to remove any germs that may be contained within the feces. Not only do bird droppings carry germs, but they can leave your clothing virtually unwearable if the stain is not cleaned in a reasonable amount of time. Clean up your bird's droppings in an hour or less with a few cleaning supplies you have lying around the house.

Things Needed

• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Eye dropper
• Laundry detergents
• Ammonia

• Cloth

Remove Bird Droppings Off of Clothing

Step 1

Throw the fabric into your washing machine, then let it soak in a combination of warm water and laundry soap that contains enzyme cleaners.

Step 2

Run the washing machine for a full cleaning cycle. Then take the fabric or clothing out and place a few drops of hydrogen peroxide combined with ammonia to the remaining droppings with your eye dropper. The mixture of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide will assist in the breaking down of the stain's elements.

Step 3

Place the fabric underneath running water from a faucet, then throw it back into the washing machine. Run the machine's wash cycle once more in order to remove any of the remaining fecal dropping stain.

Place a few drops of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide onto the stain with the eye dropper, then clean the stain with the cloth and tepid water. Dry the upholstery off with a part of the cloth that hasn't been used yet.
