Cleaning a Black Jack floor

[ragingowl77]

We used black jack for the floor of our coop and today is the first time cleaning it. What do you recommend for cleaning it? I don't want to use anything to abrasive and risk putting a hole in it.

A broom and a leaf blower. No water.

If you’re using a leaf blower and broom on chicken dust, be sure to wear a respirator!!! Histoplasmosis is a thing you don’t want

It's pretty durable. I've used everything from a metal paint scraper, a metal shovel, a plastic snow shovel, a plastic shrub rake, and a broom on it. As long as you aren't deliberately gouging at it, it should hold up fine to whatever you're doing to clean it.
