PaulinevH Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 It is getting time for a more thorough clean of the coop. I know people use power jets to clean but I was wondering how they go about cleaning the automatic door because of the mechanics. Any advice much appreciated.

chooksRCute Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Hi Pauline I remove my automatic door before cleaning the Coop, then use a dry brush to clean all the debris off the door & frame. Wipe down with a wet cloth & put it back. These omlet doors are terribly temperamental so I wouldn’t dare spray them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken_Cottage Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I have recently bought a secondhand door and discovered that there are a lot of hidden spaces that dirt and bedding can get into. To get it properly clean (as close to new as possible) I had to strip it down completely. I know to some this is a daunting thought but as long as whilst dismantling you take pictures at each stage it should be fairly easy to follow when rebuilding. My only warning is the crush detector, it is sprung so that it can operate the cut off switch in the event of an obstruction, it is fiddly to get the cover and springs back without a second pair of hands.
