Soak it with raw egg for abpout 24 hours. Then when you take the egg off the next day its all gone.

I take a glance at the windows .... all of them.... starting with the front upstairs... if there is bird poo i soak it.... then leave it. and go back nearly last.( if upstairs)

if i see anything else whilst i am cleaning, like green blobs, or brown bits, .... i still soak them and do them last...

it falls off after a soak...


Upstairs , you can tell by the flow of water/droplets if there is anything stuck on.... rinse and go back.

I'll tell you what guys - why don't we come on here when someone asks a perfectly sensible question and take the rip out of him.  ::)

Spider's poo on white upvc frames tend to need extra scrubbing and even then it might leave a brown/yellow mark which generally means you will need either frame cleaner or similar.

Unless you are doing a "restoration" just scrub as best you can and if it is within reach perhaps rub it with a damp cloth with upvc cleaner or cif on it.

this is why there are different types of w/c brushes,   a soft bristled brush prob would not remove it without a lot of scrubbing,   a firm double trim brush on the other hand would be more effective.

I also tend to find that spider poo seems to get worse at this time of the year. I also tend to notice that the stain marks on UPVC sills from spider poo seem to fade and disappear through the winter - or is it my imagination?

After that hard winter there was not one dot of poo on any of my jobs. They are splattered now.  >:(

Just get some TFR in a spray bottle diluted according to manufacturers instructions and spray all over. Do the whole house and then back to the beginning to wfp as usual. Comes off a treat. For upstairs spray on brush head and clean as usual.

Some TFR's shouldn't be left to dry; I use Evans Vanodine 100 and it seems fine even if left to dry.
