How Do I Clean & Remove Bird Poop From My Windows? | BCS Cleaning Specialists

It’s always rather irritated me that birds insist on pooping on the OUTSIDE of the window pane – you know, in just the spot where it’s hardest to reach without a giant ladder, extraordinary balancing skills and an arsenal of buckets, mops and non-scratchy scratchy products. Also, how do they even hit the window? I mean, it’s not like their butts are on the side of their bodies! It’s really quite a feat of engineering that they even manage to poop sideways while in mid-flight. I could go on, but I shall restrain myself. Also, I realize the alternative to them pooping outside is that they would poop INSIDE, which raises with it a whole host of other issues, like for example, ew.

The easiest way to remove the usually-crusty remains of a bird’s breakfast is to use a steam cleaning machine. That being said, who is realistically going to clamber up the side of a house while balance precariously on a ladder and wielding an intermittently-puffing piece of machinery? Apart from us trained gymnasts at BCS, of course.

If the above prospect doesn’t much appeal to you, the second best way would be to use a bucket of warm water with a few drops of dishwashing detergent and a squirt of white vinegar. Use a soft, clean, microfiber cloth soaked in the cleaning solution and hold it on the birdy poop for a few seconds to loosen it. Wipe any solids off with a clean side of the cloth. Wipe clean with a clean, damp chamois cloth. And hey presto, good as new! 

Of course, there’s always the chance that all this scrubbing on the side of a ladder will lead to sudden death or a nasty headache at the very least, so our recommendation is to leave the bird business where it is and give BCS a call at 801 561 1730. We’ll have the bird innards off your glass in a New York minute, with no death required!
