Read on to learn the best and easiest way to remove bird poop from clothing. These tips will come in handy should you be caught in a situation where you get pooped on and have no fresh clothes to change into. To clean bird poop off of clothing most efficiently, keep the following rules in mind:
- Let the poop dry. Trying to remove wet bird poop from your clothing will most likely result in a bigger mess, as fresh bird poop tends to smudge on fabric. For the easiest removal, let the poop dry completely before attempting to remove it from the clothing.
- Pluck, then scrape. Once the poop is completely dry, use a paper towel or napkin to pry the largest pieces off of your clothing. Sometimes, the poop will come off in one large piece. If there are smaller pieces of dried poop left behind on the fabric, scrape the area with the edge of a credit card until the remaining solid waste flakes off.
- Wipe down the area. After all of the solid waste has been removed, many times you will be able to see a light colored spot where the droppings fell. This is the remnants of dried urates from the poop. To remove this spot from clothing, dab and wipe the area with a damp cloth for a few minutes. This should help to remove any remaining waste that is visible. Once the area is dry, it should be very hard to tell that you ever got pooped on to begin with!
