I've heard elbow grease is very good.....
Never argue with an idiot, they will only bring you down to their level, and beat you with experience

We cleaned a canopy two weeks ago, lots of roosting for pigeons.

Get properly masked up for it, it is not good for the lungs, damping it down stops a lot of the dust.

I would get the majority of it off with an old WFP, with running water and then I would blast the hell out of it with a pressure washer.

Remember the dust is not nice!!

Good luck

Psittacosis is an infection caused by Chlamydia psittaci, a type of bacteria found in the droppings of birds such as pigeons. When bird droppings dry and become airborne people may inhale them and get sick. Symptoms usually develop within 10 days after exposure, below are is a list of possible signs of infection:

Classically, it presents as pneumonia with flu-like symptoms

Fever and chills with lassitude

It may develop mildly and insidiously or develop into overwhelming sepsis with acute respiratory failure

Respiratory symptoms - non-productive cough, dyspnoea, sore throat, nose bleeds and, rarely, pleuritic chest pain

Gastrointestinal symptoms occur less often

In rare cases, the disease causes nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and jaundice

Neurological symptoms are common - particularly severe headache and also photophobia. It may cause agitation or extreme malaise

Dermatological manifestations - facial macular rash known as Horder spots

Treatment
Antibiotics will be subscribed; treatment is normally given for 2-3 weeks to lower the risk of relapse. Patients normally show a response within 24-72 hours. Patients who have severe disease may need to be managed in high dependency or intensive treatment units and given intravenous fluids, respiratory support and cardiovascular support.
