Seagull POOP

[John Nuttall]

Now that all you yankees have hauled your boats, those #%&*#@&%$+ seagulls have migrated south and taken to roosting on my bimini!!!

Needless to say, they leave stubborn stains. Can anyone suggest a good cleaner that won't harm the sunbrella. I already tried Woolite, but there is still a heavy trace left. I've pulled my bimini for the winter and brought it home to soak in the tub, I just need to find a suitable cleaner..............

Thanks,

Well, there goes that myth: I always thought they wintered at the Staten Island land fills.

Sunbrella is all poly, so I think you can use something a bit stronger, such as a laundry detergent with bleach alternative (aka optical brightener). If your bimini is white or oyster, the brighteners probably would work in your favor. I would test on scrap or corner first, if possible.

I've had best luck using Joy and a small srub brush on my dark green dodger sunbrella. After that, any residue brushes off when dry, I've found.

Hey Reb,
You might want to bring your boat up north! Snow is easier to brush off than what you refer to as "yankee poop!"
