Tips and Tricks: How to safely remove a dried bird bomb or bird dropping
Here's this technique used on a real, dried bird dropping. When I originally wrote this article I had to use simulated bird dropping.
Dried bird dropping
Take a clean microfiber polishing cloth, fold it four ways to create a thick, plush wiping cloth.
Wet the cloth with water until the entire cloth is saturated but not to the point where water is running down the hood. The idea is to have plenty of water present to soak into the dried bird dropping.
Allow some time to go by to let the water do it's work...
Let's take a peek...
Yep, it's liquid again...
Carefully scrunch the microfiber towel around the dropping and lift straight up...
Now dispose of the microfiber towel in a safe way...
That's how you safely remove a dried bird dropping... now wash the area clean.
Note: For health safety reasons it's a good idea to wear gloves when doing this.
Also, dispose of towel in a sanitary manner.
