How To Maintain A Clean Bird Bath

By Roland Stockwell


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 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.

Once you have thoroughly rinsed your bird bath, fill it back up and use the Bioverse Birdbath Water Cleaner. The product is a simple, small dispenser that you place in the middle of the of your bird bath. It releases its beneficial bacteria and enzymes over the course of 30 days. All you have to do is keep your bird bath filled with water and let the all-natural product do its thing. One dispenser will treat bird baths ranging from one to seven gallons of 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.

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.
