Keep Your Bird Bath Clean

Posted by Trey Casselman

Bird baths are a picturesque addition to your garden, patio or yard. However, if they aren't maintained properly, they can become an eyesore. If algae and scum are taking over your bird bath, forget about washing it with harsh chemicals or bleach solutions. There are environmentally friendly solutions to keep your bird bath clean and your feathered friends happy and safe.

The easiest way to keep green algae from building up in your bird bath is to use an all-natural product that prevents scum from forming. These environmentally friendly products won't harm birds and they also won't require constant maintenance.

Bioverse makes a Birdbath Water Cleaner that uses beneficial bacteria and enzymes to prevent stains, mineral deposits and organic build-up. The product reduces the excess nutrients in the water that causes the problems.

It is best to give your bird a thorough cleaning before using the product. However, be sure to avoid bleach or harsh chemicals, which can be harmful to birds and other animals. Simply empty the bird bath and scrub it well with a brush or sponge. A mixture of vinegar and water also may be helpful; and there are a few soy-based cleaners that won't harm the birds. Some very mild detergents can be used, but some birds are sensitive to these, as well, so plain water is preferable.

If you plan on keeping your sponge or scrub brush after cleaning the bird bath, be sure to soak it in lemon juice and hot water for at least 20 minutes. Then spray a disinfectant, such as Lysol onto the sponge or brush, and give it another good rinse.

After giving the bird bath a thorough rinse, fill it with water and add a dispenser of the Bioverse Birdbath Water Cleaner. All you have to do is place the dispenser in the middle of your bird bath and the product will begin releasing beneficial bacteria and enzymes. The dispenser lasts for 30 days, and can be used on bird baths as small as one gallon or even up to a seven-gallon bird bath. The only maintenance required by you is to keep the bird bath filled with water.

In order to keep the water clean and clear, simply remove the old dispenser after 30 days and drop in a new one. It is just that simple to keep your bird bath pristine and sparkling fresh. Your feathered visitors will appreciate the clean bath, too.

In addition to bird bath products, Bioverse also offers safe, all-natural products for Koi ponds, fountains and larger water features. So avoid chemical algaecides and environmentally dangerous products. Bioverse products are safe, eco-friendly and easy to use.
