PET ODOUR IN YOUR ARTIFICIAL GRASS CAN BE A NUISANCE
PETS SMELLS & ODOUR – THE COMPLETE GUIDE
Did you know the reason why most artificial grasses smell of dog urine? The issue for all dog owners is that the uric acid crystals from dog wee get trapped under the artificial grass and coagulate in the sand, MOT sub-base or the grass backing itself. These crystals release ammonia and grow bacteria which gives off a really strong, fishy, smelling gas. Be it dogs, cats, even urban or rural foxes … pet owners try everything and spend a fortune on different products to remove these offensive odours – getting more and more frustrated and fed up.

PET ODOUR IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF ISSUES FOR HOME OWNERS
Many fresheners use a fragrance to mask bad odours but they will only work for a short period of time and are easily overpowered by the untreated bacteria within your artificial grass. These standard off the shelf products will not deal with the ongoing bacteria issues throughout your artificial grass system from the blades to the sub-base.
To solve this problem forever, Clean Green Grass will only utilise the GreenBlade range of products who have developed its own commercial grade cleaning technology.
It’s now used throughout the world to keep artificial grass odour-free while using only non-toxic, organic ingredients to ensure pets and children are safe given the PH neutrality of their products.
spring & summer
Spring and summer will see the grass being used the most with the start of the better weather coming in and being able to enjoy your outdoor space. Flattening of the fibres is one of the most common faults with people not maintaining their lawn regularly. Some people use a domestic hoover! whilst this will clear up any debris or odd thread weeds on top of the grass it isn’t going to get to the root of the problem (pardon the pun!) and its not good for the hoover either. Some customers have even taken a jet washer and applied this directly to the grass blades which has then displaced the sub base and made the surface uneven and in some cases caused lifting of the artificial grass itself.
Food particles from a BBQ or party, fizzy drinks, alcohol when dropped or spilt will all sit in the blades and backing of your grass causing a number of issues. This will attract flies and other garden bugs without treatment. Pollen and plant seeds are also air born and will occasionally knit deep into the fibres of your artificial grass promoting and causing weed growth. These will only be removed with the correct, professional products and tools for the job at hand.
autumn & winter
In autumn, leaves and plant debris will blow on to the grass which can create perfect conditions for moss and algae to grow so removal of these algae and moss spores is very important especially in winter with damp weather as this is the time your grass will come under the most harsh conditions. Your grass could go a dark brown / black colour in places and become crusty. We have the right treatment to ensure your artificial grass is maintained to the highest level and to protect your garden investment.
We use a professional power brush to de-compact and brush up the fibres and artificial grass blades as well as the correct, professional grade cleaners and sanitisers where required. In fact it is advisable to schedule in an appointment and visit during the autumn / winter period to keep the grass in pristine condition and protect it until the better weather comes back around.
