Artificial turf is low-maintenance — but not no-maintenance.
If you own pets, you already know the problem: urine odour building up in the grass, especially in warm weather. What starts as a convenient lawn can quickly turn into a backyard that smells like a public toilet.
The truth? Hosing it down or spraying air freshener won’t fix the problem. That’s why more homeowners and pet facilities across Australia trust TurfGlo Enzyme®, the enzyme-powered turf cleaner that eliminates pet urine odour at the source.
Why Does Artificial Turf Smell Like Urine?
The main culprit is uric acid crystals in pet urine. Unlike liquid waste that washes away, uric acid bonds tightly to turf fibres and the sand or crushed rock underneath. These crystals don’t dissolve in water — so even if you hose down your lawn, the smell comes back as soon as the turf dries.
Bleach and vinegar may mask the smell temporarily, but they won’t break down uric acid. Worse, they can damage your turf and harm your pets.
Why Enzymes Are the Game-Changer
Enzyme cleaners like TurfGlo Enzyme® work differently. Instead of trying to cover the smell, enzymes digest the organic matter in urine, breaking down uric acid crystals and bacteria at a molecular level. The result: odour is eliminated, not disguised.
Think of it as the difference between spraying perfume in a bin versus actually taking the rubbish out.
Not all turf cleaners are created equal. Here’s why TurfGlo Enzyme® stands out:
- Professional-grade concentration — strong enough for pet boarding centres, safe enough for home use.
- Eliminates odour at the source — no masking, no “wet dog” smell when turf dries.
- Safe for pets, families & the environment — non-toxic, biodegradable, child- and animal-friendly.
- Penetrates deep — designed to reach the turf backing and sub-base, where odours actually form.
Using TurfGlo Enzyme® is simple:
- Apply the ready-to-use 4L bottle evenly across your turf (covers up to 30m²).
- Allow the solution to soak into the fibres and sub-base.
- Maintain freshness with monthly 1L top-ups.
- For high-traffic pet areas, increase frequency as needed.
This easy schedule keeps your lawn consistently fresh, hygienic, and odour-free.
