What are the effects of bird droppings on the surface of marble pots?
Bird droppings can significantly impact the appearance and longevity of marble pots. The acidic nature of bird waste can cause surface stains, etching, and even erosion over time, dulling the natural shine of marble. If left untreated, the droppings may penetrate the porous surface, making cleaning more difficult. To prevent damage, promptly remove droppings using a soft cloth, mild soap, and water. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can worsen the damage. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can help. Regular maintenance and protective sealants can also preserve the marble's beauty in outdoor settings.
