Removing bird droppings from block paving
My mother recently had her little front garden block paved, as she is no
longer able to maintain it as a 'green' garden. She is distressed to find that bird droppings show up quite badly! She is having difficulty removing the mess, but would like to do so herself (she is very independent). She can't bend too well. Any ideas, please? -- Bob Eager begin a new life...dump Windows! |

Any ideas, please? Karcher cleaner. On the narrowest setting you can do it from a garden chair. |

I've used a very stiff scrubbing brush, made to fit on the end of a broom handle. They're old-fashioned, but very effective - and they don't require bending. |

*Solution*
Rather than clear up the mess, treat God's little feathered creations to regular large amounts of bread and other birdy food, liberally soaked in copious amounts of appropriately matched (to block paving), food dye, then their **** will blend in and the old biddy won't notice. |
