| Here is a good tutorial about cleaning gourds and making it into a birdhouse.. When I clean my gourds I use a brass or copper Chore Girl-type scrubber. http://www.gitaland.com/tutorials/tutivy.html |

I have a few ??'s I have a small egg gourd It is probably clean enough to paint which is what I am likely to do. I like stained gourds and wonder how to get the stains and other marks off the gourd for staining. Do I just not have my gourd clean enough, does it need more scrubbing? Should I sand it or maybe bleach it? Life is Great!

| you can try sanding it first with a coarse and then with a smooth. It might lighten it enough to work with. You may also wash the gourd with a mix of 1 part bleach to 10 parts water and use a steel wool pad to do this, so that any remaining residue comes off with it. The bleach disinfects the outer gourd and slightly lightens any imperfections on the gourd. It won't make the spots disappear. For perfection, you'll need a fake plastic gourd. The imperfections are what make each gourd unique.
