Is your pet-friendly artificial grass starting to smell a bit off? Dogs go to the bathroom a lot, which can lead to a smell of dog urine on your lawn. But don’t worry – keeping your fake grass clean and fresh isn’t hard with the right care.
Good artificial turf lets urine pass through, avoiding trapped smells. But, it may still smell over time. This is where cleaning and some effort come in handy.
To keep your artificial turf smelling fresh, act fast. When your dog pees on the grass, dry the spot and wash it immediately. This stops the urine from causing a lasting smell.
Artificial grass is a top pick for Aussie families wanting a pet-friendly yard. It’s easy to care for and lasts a long time. Yet, it can still end up with the smell of a dog if not looked after well. Knowing how dog urine leads to these smells and what you can do about it is the best way to keep up a clean and welcoming outdoor area.
Urea is to blame for the stink when dogs pee on fake grass. It’s a waste made by the body. The pee is mostly water with a little urea, uric acid, and ammonia. Urea turns into ammonia and carbon dioxide as it dries, which contributes to artificial turf smells. This leads to the bad smell we often notice around pet pee.
If a dog keeps peeing in the same spot, the pee can’t drain easily. This is a big issue if you don’t clean the area and remove stains often. Thanks to the urea, the smell can stick around, making the yard less than pleasant to be in.
Choosing the right infill for your synthetic grass is absolutely vital. It helps with drainage and stops bad smells from forming. Infills like raw sand can make the stench worse by holding onto moisture.
Using the right infill can reduce smells significantly. But remember, you still need to clean your grass regularly. This is a must for keeping your yard fresh and your pets happy.
Here are some tips for fighting off smells and stains:
Making a pet area in your backyard that’s easy to look after needs thought and good materials for pet owners. These tips will help keep your fake grass clean and smelling good for pets.
To prevent dog pee from leaving marks and bad smells, you should install a turf deodoriser or an airflow membrane under your pee-proof grass. These items increase airflow, helping with drainage, and limiting the smell from built-up urine.
Having small rocks under your fake grass helps filter waste and liquids. This layer of filtration stops bad smells. It keeps your yard pleasant, even with your pets around a lot.
When you get fake grass for your pets, tell the installer what you need. At Trinity Landscape & Sports, for example, we take all of this into consideration and can suggest the best types of grass and infills for your situation.
We will also ensure that the grass drains well. This prevents urine from gathering and causing stains and smells.
As we noted earlier, cleaning regularly is also very important. A bit more work at the start and keeping up with cleaning will stop the bad smell from pets. Your fake grass will keep looking and smelling good for a long time if you put in the effort.
| Cleaning Method | Frequency | Benefits |
| Rinsing with enzymatic cleaners | At least once a month | Breaks down urine residue and eliminates odours |
| Mopping up urine with paper towels | As soon as noticed | Minimises stains and smells before they set in |
| Hosing down with clean water | Immediately after pet urination | Flushes out urine and dilutes smell |
| Scrubbing with stiff-bristled brooms | As needed for stubborn stains | Agitates and loosens stains for easier removal |
It’s important to keep your fake grass spotless and free of dog urine smells. This is key to having a yard that’s welcoming for pets. By following a few simple steps, you can get rid of pet stains and make your artificial lawn smell fresh again. Here’s a guide to effectively clean up dog urine from synthetic grass.
First, remove any furniture, toys, or solid waste from the area. Children and pets should stay clear for their safety. This also prevents them from getting in touch with the cleaning solutions.
Start by connecting a garden hose to rinse down the spot to remove old urine. A good rinse can dilute the urine, making it easier to clean up. Focus more on the parts where your pet often goes as they could need extra care.
Now, pick a cleaning solution to get rid of the urine smell. Water and vinegar in equal parts work well for this job. You could also try a mild dish soap or a special artificial turf cleaner. Spread the cleaner over the area and let it soak in.
Leave the cleaner on the fake grass for at least 10 minutes. This gives it time to deal with the urine and get rid of the smell. Tough stains or smells might need some gentle scrubbing with a soft brush.
Next, give the area another good rinse with the hose to remove all the cleaner. This final cleanse is important to prevent stains or artificial grass discolouration.
If the smell or stain is still there, you might need to repeat the cleaning. Stubborn smells could need a few more rounds of cleaning. Make sure you’re patient and take your time to clean it thoroughly.
If there’s still a slight dog urine smell after cleaning, use a turf deodoriser. Baking soda or a product made for fake grass works well. Spread it on the area and leave it overnight to kill any remaining odour.
| Cleaning Solution | Application | Effectiveness |
| Vinegar and Water (1:1) | Spray on affected area, and let sit for 10 minutes | Natural deodoriser, safe for pets and children |
| Mild Dishwashing Liquid or Laundry Detergent | Mix with warm water, apply to grass, scrub gently | Effective for removing minor stains and odours |
| Enzyme-Based Turf Cleaner | Apply directly to urine spots, and let sit for 10-15 minutes | Breaks down urine compounds, eliminates tough odours |
Preventing dog urine odours on artificial grass is key. Make sure your turf drains well. Also, think about putting in a deodoriser or an airflow membrane. Teach your pup to only go in one spot.
Quickly dry and wash away any urine spots. This stops the smells from sticking around.
To clean urine, first clear the area of any pets. Then, give it a good hose down. Use a cleaner or a mix of vinegar and water to scrub the spot.
Leave the cleaner for about 10 minutes. Rinse the area well. If the smell is still there, do it all again. Lastly, sprinkle baking soda to finish.
For a fresh lawn, rinse it often with an enzyme-based cleaner. How much you need to do this varies. It depends on things like the weather, how many dogs you have, and your comfort with smells.
Some may need to clean weekly, while others can do fine monthly.
Dog urine turns into ammonia, which is what we smell. This happens because of a substance in urine called urea. If the same spot is used a lot, the smell can get stronger over time.
For artificial grass, you can use a mix of vinegar and water, or soapy water. Another good option is an enzyme cleaner. This type is best for getting rid of the chemicals in urine that cause smells.
Long-term care includes using high-quality fake grass that’s pet-friendly. Make sure it has good drainage and uses a smell-reducing infill. Also, work closely with the person who installed it to meet your pet’s needs.
Regular cleaning is a must. For extra protection from smells, think about adding an antimicrobial infill.
