Poop on the couch

So today, my fiance let the birds out for their daily outing.

He had never done this without me here before, so he let them sit on the couch. x_x Little did he know, that normally I put a cover over it while they're out so it doesn't get poop all over it.

So now there's bird poop stains on my beloved couch.

What do you guys normally do to get bird poop off your upholstery?

I've taken off the solid part, now there's just the white/greenish stain there that will only smudge if I try to get it off with water/cloth x_x

Let me know!

well.. uhh.. i just wipe it off, and then scrub and scrub, and then put a little soap on the scrubber, and scrub and scrub again.. LOL! i kinda suck - the backs of the couches are the birds favorite spots here, but i try to keep them on the leather ones, its way easier to clean..

Poop-Off works, or hydrogen peroxide.

I would try warm water and dishwashing liquid and sponge it in, you can use a toothbrush to give a gentle scrub, then a dry towel to rub it asdry as you can get it.
This will not damage the colour.
I have used this on fresh coffee and wine stains. Notice I said fresh, once dried it is a whole different ball game.

Tooth brush is good. Tiel poop can be a nightmare.

Yes, it is.

When Harley is on her 2 X 4 perch and poohs, it sounds like someone was slapped across the face when it hits the floor, lol.
