Inspecting the Area
Inspection of the area is necessary to determine if you have the capacity to deal with the situation on your own. It will also help you identify the things that you will need to clean the area.

Cleaning the Feces of the Pigeon
When cleaning the feces of the birds, avoid using a vacuum or broom that will disperse the spores in the air. Spray the cleaning solution directly on the bird poop and leave it for about 5 minutes. Remove the droppings using a scraper to eliminate the bigger pieces of Raleigh pigeon poop. Pick the feces manually and place it inside the garbage bag. Once removing it, you will have to use a brush to remove the remaining fecal matter. This will require a bit of effort on your part.

Removing the Tough Stain
For the stubborn stain, you will need a baking soda to remove them. Sprinkle the affected area with this product and leave it for about 30 minutes. After that, scrub the area and you will notice that the discoloration will be less visible by this time. If you can’t wait for the area to air dry, the better solution is to use saw dust that will absorb the moist in the area.

On the off chance that the discoloration is still there, you can use a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. Apply it on the stain and leave it for 30 minutes. Again, place sawdust to absorb the remaining cleaning solution.
