Bird droppings on textured outdoor furniture can be frustrating, but proper cleaning preserves your furniture's appearance and longevity. Start by wearing protective gloves. Remove dried debris gently with a plastic scraper or old credit card, avoiding metal tools that scratch surfaces.
Create a cleaning solution using mild dish soap (1 tablespoon) and warm water (2 cups). For stubborn stains, mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Apply solution with a soft-bristled brush, using circular motions to work into textured surfaces without abrasion.
Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose using low pressure. Avoid pressure washers that can damage textured finishes. For disinfecting, spray with diluted vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) and air dry completely.
Prevent future buildup by applying furniture-safe protective sealants designed for textured surfaces. Regular light cleaning prevents droppings from hardening and causing permanent stains.
