Cleaning Your Feeder (video)
If you prefer to read the instructions, please follow below.
Here are the steps to properly clean your feeder.
1.Take apart your feeder. Take your feeder apart and empty any seed that is still inside. If you notice some seed left in the ventilation system at the bottom of the feeder, simply use a toothpick to remove them.
2.Soak your feeder in a bleach solution. Place your feeder in a 1:10 bleach/water solution and let it soak for at least 15 minutes.
3.Wash your feeder. Transfer your feeder to warm soapy water and use a brush to scrub the parts well.
4.Rinse your feeder. Transfer your feeder to tepid water and rinse it well.
5.Air dry your feeder. Let your feeder air dry. Make sure to allow your feeder to completely dry before re-filling it.
We at Brome Bird Care recommend that you clean your feeders every 2 to 3 weeks. (You can always use bleach wipes to clean off your feeder in between your washings).
A clean feeder is a healthy feeder!
