Discolored or slimy nectar indicates it\u2019s time to clean the feeder. Disassemble the feeder, empty the nectar, and rinse thoroughly with hot water. Use a tiny scrub brush and mild soap, ensuring no residue remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailyin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/feeder-8-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2437\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once clean, let the feeder dry before refilling with fresh nectar.
