loft white

as anyone ever used loft white and is it any good just i was thinking of trying it

hi phil, yes i use colombine floor whitener every day and thnk its good stuff......i also put in on perches/nestboxes too or if there is any water spillage etc.

it can be mixed in water to paint inside of loft phil, anti bacterial in it fresh smell in loft its good, i put a bit on floor every other day sweep it in

true,it can be used as a paint inside the loft..........ive just bought a big bag from crowthers for approx £9........which works out better than buying small bags.

yes good stuff i dont paint the loft though just put some down and sweep it in after scraping out makes the loft look nice and clean for a bit

Excellent i use harkers

i used to use it years ago,what put me off was when you have cleaned out and its all loverly and clean they mess it up straight away and its seems a waste of time if you know what i mean,where as the bedding i use now no need to do floors for months at a time

i will try a bag its only to do the floor and then for the young bird section .. as i got ply board up today and then was going to put more perch up ive got 25 in now and was going to try other 10 then its done ready for young birds
.....

i dont like the loft white as i think its too dusty gets on my chest when using it so what it does to pigeons i dread to think just my opinion tho everyone to there own

I have always used lime on my floors for years, however last year i tried harkers loft treatment and its loverly, I noticed lately they have changed it from pure white powder to a mint smelling sandy stuff, not quite as good but I mix it with lime now not quite 50/50 ..and its great just brush it around after scraping and leaves the floor dry and smelling nice. I think its really good to do if used sparingly and not left to blow all over the place.

yes i suppose if you use it in moderation , however the vet where i take my birds knows who uses it and who doesnt , just from mouth swabs this cant be good

Ian I am interested to know what he sees in the birds who have it in the loft? it can get everywhere if you use too much.

doesnt matter whether you use little or lots he knows if you use it he can obviously see the powder

I got you he means that its in the mouth from breathing it in, not that the birds are un healthy from it? thanks

thats right but tis cant be good can it

if its in the throat then its up there nasal passage not good

this needs looking into then i use it on floor but only a bit brushed in now

dont like it steve but mind you some swear by it

it was getting up my nose and in throat but i was putting too much down

youve got to use it when birds are out and brush it up thoroughly

i use loft white but the thing is dont leave too much down when you sweep it up........as it canbe quite dusty, especially if the ventilation isnt as good as it should be like mine and when you thinkthe birds will be breathing it in its not good for them...

have heard that some fanciers still use lime, i used this years ago and its horrible stuff and really does get up your nose and in the back of your throat.......so emagine wht it does to the pigeons.....?

yes have used it mixed with sand horrible

wifes pump action water sprays gone out of greenhouse she found out today, its been at loft since october, brilliant for spraying disinfectant in loft gets in all small corners

yes i got one of them spot on
