Duck pool

[Missy60]

I have a sand box swimming pool for my ducks. I have been using a rag and a little dawn to clean it. It is sort of disgusting now what is the safest thing to clean it with? It is plastic and I thought about using bleach but I was worried about the area around the pool while rinsing it out. Would it be safe for them to forage in it?

I use white vinegar.

Ok I should of thought of that...I guess sometimes I just have a brain freeze.

Well it thawed pretty quickly! Glad you paused to think it through.

Nice to hear from you today!

I'd just get a good bucket brush like they sell at the farm/feed supply, that is what i clean ours with.. no soap, no cleaners etc needed..

 

[Amiga]

Bucket brushes are handy! They get the big stuff off. I still like to do a vinegar wipe down from time to time. I have, in a pinch, used a handful of sand.

Oxine in the water helps the green slim build up as well. Bucket scrub brushes and a cap full of bleach to a bucket of water to scrub. Rinsed with the hose.

Great ideas! I haven't checked out the bucket brushes, never even knew they made them. I will make a point of it next time I go. A brush would be handy to clean out the water bucket and feed bowl also. Thanks!

Usually they are needed for your horses, goats, sheep .. llamas and so forth basically livestock.. I have them for the horses, the grain buckets and the troughs.. mine is a nice purple

Ok now I want a purple one.

Amiga I guess it really isn't thawed because when I first read your post I was like is she talking to someone else again...lol. I went back and read my post and realized it was my brain that was thawed...lol. Ok I'm going back to bed and try getting up on the other side

Thanks everyone really great replies.
