Cleaning

[gibbi]

I'm just wondering if anyone could please help.
My wife and I are in the process of moving out of our current address and have noticed Sebastian our 5yr old Hermann's tortoise has weed on the tiled floor in our conservatory.
I cleaned it with hot water and a scrubbing brush but as soon as it was noticed but when it dries it still shows up and was wondering if anyone knows how what I can do to remove it?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Try vinegar. Put some white vinegar on the spot and leave it sitting there for about a half hour. Then scrub it with a stiff bristle brush or scouring pad.

Thank you Yvonne, it's a rented property too which makes it worse.

Yep vinegar is fantastic.

Fantastic thank you
Does it have to be white vinegar?

White is best that's what I use. Never used apple cider if that's what your thinking?

Was thinking malt vinegar, the stuff us Brits love to put on our fish and chips

That may work. I have no idea to be honest. Now I'm thinking about food lol. British food to boot. Have a nice restaurant/pub called the Londoner, a british man owns it. Makes and awesome shepards pie, bangers and mash is spectacular too. Yep I'm hungry now.

You can try nature's miracle. It's made for that and is also a stain remover.

Lemon juice might also work... Or a mixture of water, baking soda and lemon juice. For bird poo, I've used 3 cups hot water, 3 tablespoons baking soda and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a squirt bottle. (You could make a smaller batch.)

I usually use white vinegar on a washcloth that I allow to sit over the stain for a few minutes, but sometimes it is nice to have a vinegar smell vacation. White vinegar seems to work a lot better than apple cider. Good luck!

Vinegar works great for stains, and it's safe for the tortoises too.
