It’s a lot of poop guys
How crucial is it that the cylinder remains undamaged?
relatively crucial
Pressure!
That’s exactly the kind of job a pressure washer is for
Wear a mask and gloves.
Honestly eye pro isn’t a bad idea either
And ensuring you are wearing shoes that fully cover your feet, no crocs or flip flops
I agree, especially don’t cheap out on the mask, that stuff will fuck up your lungs real good.
Already cleaned up what I could get with no PPE. Should I be concerned? I washed my hands pretty good after
You can get diseases from the poo particles in the air.
Lovely. Well, wish me luck
Is this you op?
Don’t dox me wtf
Too late
I can only get so erect
Wait until it really builds up and mine it for the fertilizer and gunpowder industries.
Hormuz is closed. Back to guano!
Home depot rents pressure washers for like $35/4hrs. They include soap injectors to add concrete cleaners with the spray, but you can also just dump cleaner on the ground, brush it with a broom then pressure wash.
There’s also a ‘floor maintainer’ which is often used to clean/polish concrete. Either with a bristle brush attachment or various grits of polishing pad.
As others have said, 100% use PPE. Face mask, gloves, eye pro. Concrete dust contains silica which leaves you with silicosis and bird poo (well any animal poo really) contains some rather nasty diseases humans can contract. Keep yourself safe.
How does pressure washing generate dangerous silica dust…?
I gave two options, a pressure washer, and a floor maintainer.
The floor maintainer can be used wet or dry and will grind off a small amount of the concrete during polishing.
Just something to be mindful of. Airborne pathogens from the poo is a bigger issue.
At least one more here in the comments said that, hence my quick comment. All good then and yes, generally don’t breathe shit.
Jet washing dream.
I’ve had decent luck with a deck brush and water if you don’t have access to a pressure washer.
Bird-urine is white, their poo is brown/dark.
Washing-soda or baking-soda ( & if kids are going to be playing on it, or someone’s going to be picnicking on it ) in a weak HE-laundry-detergent solution.
( urine is acidic: the alkali in the washing-soda or baking-soda neutralizes it )
scrub/soak
then rinse.
hth.
