Birdhouses handcrafted by Hatteras House

Coppertop Birdhouses & Birdfeeders by Hatteras House are individually handcrafted, built to last and have much attention given to detail. Their design and construction techniques are inspired by those found along the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

If you have a birdhouse or birdfeeder exposed to the outdoor elements with feeding and nesting birds, it's going to get dirty and need to be cleaned. This can be a very simple and easy process.

*Wear rubber gloves for the cleaning process.

*Fill a bucket with warm water and a small amount of scent-free liquid soap or detergent and give it a gentle washing with a soft brush or rag.

*Empty the bucket and refill with warm water and a couple of cups of white distilled vinegar or diluted bleach and wash it again. Use an old toothbrush to clean the hard to reach areas.

*Rinse gently with a garden hose.

*Let dry, before reuse.

An occasional cleaning can go a long way toward keeping your birdhouse or birdfeeder free of disease and fungus and create a healthy and attractive addition to your home.
