How to Clean Bird Poop from Clothing

Whether you have pet birds that poop on your clothing or a bird outdoors makes a mess on you, these droppings can leave stains if not treated immediately. Some stains may come out quickly, but others may take additional steps to remove if the bird has been eating berries, which make stains harder to erase from fabrics. Depending on the stain's severity, take steps to remove it -- and any residue -- to get your clothing looking as good as new.
