How to Clean Up Dog Diarrhea in the Yard

You can clean up dog diarrhea in a few simple steps.

When a dog leaves a mess in the yard, it is important to clean it up as soon as possible to prevent children and other residents of the home from accidentally stepping into it. Diarrhea is especially hard to clean up. By keeping a few simple items on hand, you can quickly remove it.

Things You'll Need

• Plastic storage bags or grocery bags
• Garden hose
• Water

Instructions

1. Turn a plastic storage bag or grocery bag inside-out.

2. Place your hand inside the enclosed part of the bag, as you would to put on a glove.

3. Pick up as much of the diarrhea as possible with the plastic bag. Get a firm handful of the mess and then turn the bag right-side-out again and discard in the trash. Repeat with fresh bags as needed until you have cleaned up most of the mess.

4. Turn on the garden hose, and rinse the affected area of lawn. This will break up remaining diarrhea, and allow it to more quickly dissolve into the ground.
