A bird bath can be just the decoration to turn your yard or garden from dull to delightful. If your bird bath is filled with scummy water and green algae, however, it is less than appealing for both you and your bird visitors. Keeping your bird bath clean is essential, but it doesn't have to be expensive or time-consuming to maintain. You can keep your bird bath sparkling clean without the use of bleach solutions or other chemicals.
The best way to keep the green, organic scum from mucking up your bird bath is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Sometimes that's easier said than done, but in this case it really is pretty simple. There are all-natural products available that won't harm the birds or 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 scrubbing the bird bath, give it a good rinse, fill it up with clean water and add Bioverse's Birdbath Water Cleaner. Simply place the dispenser in the middle of the bird bath. The beneficial enzymes and bacteria will be automatically released for up to 30 days. Just one of these dispensers can keep up to seven gallons of water clean, but also can be used for the smallest, one-gallon bird baths. Just be sure that you keep adding fresh water to the bird bath, as some is sure to evaporate over time.
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.
Bioverse also has all-natural products for Koi ponds, fountains and larger water features. Don't use chemical algaecides and other products that aren't eco-friendly on your water when you don't have to. Whatever type of water feature you have - large or small -- can be healthily maintained with ease.
