Title: Bird Droppings
Post by: Graeme@Access on August 01, 2006, 09:59:04 pm
Hi,

We have aquired a rather wealthy client that had her house invaded by a Crow while she was on holiday.  It managed to get down the chimney and into her living room, where it remained for about a week.

It has made a mess of her white cotton upholstery and it looks difficult to remove.

Any advice/comments on chemicals or techniques would be much appreciated as i have never tackeld a stain like this before.

Cheers

Graeme

Hi Graeme,

Did one yesterday on a blue suite with yellow dye from droppings.

I explained to the customer that bird poo was dependant on what the bird had eaten and could contain fruit colourings.

Used an enzyme pre sray(Stapro) and then Prochem Pureclean .

95 % of colour was removed and the customer was very pleased.

You may have greater problems with a light coloured suite , but could try oxidising if colour remains.

Cheers

Doug

Doug,

Did the job yesterday and used alltechs enzyme pre spray. After 4 coats the stains were barely visible and a touch of 6% peroxide finished them off.

Just under a K for a days work with 2 men  ;D

I owe you more than one pint for that Doug.

Cheers

Graeme

How far were you from the job, as the crow flies?
