How to Wash a Bird Bath With Vinegar

Bird baths need to be cleaned regularly to keep them sanitary and in good condition. Bird baths will often look grungy or unappealing when they are not cleaned, which takes away from their beauty. Cleaning bird baths will also help to protect the health of the birds and creatures that use it. Instead of purchasing a cleaning solution at the store, you can save money and clean your bird bath with vinegar.
