705972 2008-09-17 10:27:00 I'm living in a hostel.

Outside my room leads to the outside unlike other hostels where it leads to a corridoor which is pretty cool because when i open the door during summer time a gentle breeze blows in

Here is the problem.Two ducks often fly and visits me asking for food .They would peck on my door telling me they want food.

I don't mind feeding them from time to time but the problem is that they poo outside my door and I simply wipe it up with a wet tissue paper which often leaves a stain after the poo dries up

Does anyone know of any type of product or anything thats cheap that can clean the stains?

Maybe someone know of a product that can be bought from the supermarket capable of disentegrating the stains

Maybe it can be bought from a pet store?

Any ideas?Water certainly isn't really affective

Tethering a lion outside your door should stop the duck poo, but other varieties may appear along with stray sneakers.
As a side benefit you probably won't be bothered too much by political canvassers after the first couple of squeals.

705975 2008-09-17 10:38:00 1) Stop feeding the ducks
2) Try some bleach and a scrubbing brush.
3) if 2 fails then a water blaster.

Put some "Bars Leaks" in the duck food and worry about the exploding ducks later.

705977 2008-09-17 10:43:00 What sort of surface is stained?

A bit of a scrub with water using a stiff brush when still fresh ought to clean it up.

Hmmm.... Be careful - a water blaster at close range will probably remove feathers as well as stains. Nothing worse than naked ducks ("duck-naked"?)!!!

705979 2008-09-17 10:54:00 Ever consider feeding the ducks elsewhere? Away from the door

But yeah, a lead bullet will definitely fix the problem, and then you can help provide for Xmas dinner :D

If the bullet option isn't to your liking, maybe install a conveyor belt outside your door. You won't see the poo (well not as often anyway). But remember to tell the ducks that in order to get airborne after, they will need to travel in the opposite direction to the conveyor :)

If you stop feeding them, they will wander off elsewhere to look for food, which therefore eliminates the poo issue. Besides, food is too preeeeeecious in this world...... *drools*
