Cleaning A Bird Bath

[smurfchops]

It gets all reddy brown and gooey, how can l clean it safely please?

[Toorak]

We have a stiff brush that we use then swish it out with water

[Prudie]

Tip it out and then clean with a washing up brush or similar while using a hose on a power setting at the same time..

Yes I think that will be the best way, don't want to use anything harmful.  Thanks.

I tip ours out when it gets a bit mucky and give it a jet with the hose pipe.

We let ours dry out (especially if its a nice sunny day) and the red/green stuff just flakes off. Refill for the birds!

I throw out brown bread for the crows, if it is hard they dip it in the bird bath, so clever.
