Pet owners love the convenience and beauty of synthetic grass, but dealing with persistent dog urine smells can be a real challenge. At Titan Turf, we understand that maintaining a clean, fresh-smelling lawn is essential for enjoying your outdoor space. That’s why we offer expert advice and innovative solutions to help you effectively remove and prevent odours caused by pet waste on artificial turf.
Dog urine contains ammonia and other compounds that, if left untreated, can become deeply embedded in the grass infill and backing. Over time, this leads to an unpleasant odour that intensifies in warm weather. Fortunately, with the right products and maintenance techniques, you can keep your synthetic grass smelling as fresh as it looks.
Regular cleaning is the first line of defence. Rinsing the affected areas with water helps dilute the urine and prevent it from settling into the turf. For best results, use a garden hose with moderate pressure at least once or twice a week, especially if your pet frequently uses the lawn.
However, rinsing alone may not eliminate odours completely. Titan Turf recommends using specialised turf deodorisers and enzyme-based cleaners that are designed to break down the bacteria causing the smell. These products are pet-safe, non-toxic, and highly effective in neutralising odours at the source. Enzyme cleaners actively consume organic matter left by pet urine, leaving your turf clean and smell-free.
Another proactive approach is to install or upgrade your turf’s infill. Titan Turf offers antimicrobial and odour-absorbing infill options, such as zeolite-based infill, which naturally traps and neutralises ammonia. Unlike traditional sand or rubber infill, zeolite continues working between cleans, providing ongoing protection against unpleasant smells.
Proper drainage also plays a vital role in managing pet odours. If your synthetic lawn has poor drainage, urine can pool beneath the surface, leading to stronger smells. Titan Turf’s professional installations include high-performance drainage layers to allow quick and efficient liquid flow, preventing build-up and bacteria growth.
To maintain your turf long-term, consider setting a regular cleaning schedule. A monthly deep clean using enzyme cleaners, combined with routine rinsing and spot treatment, will go a long way in preserving both hygiene and comfort. For high-traffic pet areas, Titan Turf also offers maintenance services tailored to your lawn’s needs.
At Titan Turf, we believe pet-friendly artificial grass should be as easy to maintain as it is beautiful. Our premium turf systems, combined with expert advice and quality maintenance products, ensure your lawn remains odour-free and inviting for the whole family—including your four-legged friends.
