Keep Your Bird Bath Clean

By Roland Stockwell


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.

Before using the Birdbath Water Cleaner, it is a good idea to give your bird bath a good scrub. After emptying the bath, use a scrub brush or sponge along with a small amount of water. If you cannot remove the stains, try using a solution of water mixed with a bit of vinegar. There are also a few soy-based cleaners available that are safe for birds. Harsh chemicals, such as bleach solutions, should not be used. Even some mild detergents can be harmful to birds, so plain water is your safest bet.

You will want to disinfect your scrub brush or sponge (or just toss it). If you want to keep it, let it soak in some lemon juice and hot water for 20 minutes. Then spray a little Lysol on it, before giving it another rinse with water.

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.

After 30 days have passed, simply take out the old dispenser and drop in a new one. That is all the maintenance required to keep your bird bath clean and beautiful. There will be no more algae or build-up and the birds will appreciate the clean, fresh water, as well.

Other Bioverse products include all-natural solutions to keep fountains, Koi ponds and larger water features clean and fresh. Bioverse products are eco-friendly and easy to use, and contain no chemical algaecides or other harmful chemicals. No matter what type of water feature you have from bird baths to ponds, Bioverse has an all-natural solution to keep it maintained and fresh.
