| I'm really hoping somebody can offer me some guidance.
We just finished our cedar deck here in southern Ontario and days later it's covered in purple bird droppings. I power washed it as soon as possible to try to keep them from staining but some of them didn't come off. I only used water and no soap of any kind as I wasn't sure what would be good idea to use. I was going to wait to stain until next spring because it's really not warm enough right now to do it. My understanding is that I need some relatively warm days on a constant basis. It's been warmer than normal here but not enough I don't think. Can anyone recommend a cleaner that I can use to get these stains off?
TIA |

| that sounds simple enough but I encourage the birds to come to my yard. I have several bird feeders. and it's not the birds that are purple. It's their droppings from eating the berries in the neighbours' trees. |

| You really were Serious !!! For crying out loud BJ ,how do you think geting bird poop off a deck is going to happen ??? Your going to scrub it off with a brush,soap,and hot water. With finish or with out Finish if you intice birds to your deck the scrubing is going to be an on going thing. J. |
