I am in the process of preparing a coop from a building that was originally used as a garden shed.
I have completely “shop-vacuumed” the shed and I’m ready to wash the walls and floor. In addition to the normal dirt, there were various animal droppings inside so I want to be sure it is washed down well before introducing my little flock.
My question is:
What product do you recommend to put in the wash-water for cleaning?
I’m concerned about the residue that remains on the wood as well as fumes. No mater how well you rinse, there will be some left-over and I want to be sure it is not toxic/harmful to the animals.
I’ve read to wash down with a regular detergent (like dishwashing detergent), rinse, then wipe down with a weak bleach/water solution.
Any input is appreciated
