How It Works
The Science Behind Clean, Safe Artificial Grass
At TurfGlo, we don’t just mask odours—we eliminate them at the source using a powerful, natural enzyme system. Our products and processes are scientifically designed to break down the real problem: ammonia, uric acid, and bacteriatrapped in artificial turf.
Whether you have pets, kids, or a high-traffic outdoor space, here’s how we keep your turf fresh, hygienic, and safe.
Enzyme Power That Breaks Down Pet Odours
Our exclusive TurfGlo Enzyme™️ formula is a plant-based, biodegradable enzyme treatment designed to break down pet urine odours at the source — not simply mask them with fragrance. Unlike basic spray products, TurfGlo Enzyme is designed for synthetic turf and outdoor pet-use areas, helping to:
- Break down organic matter from pet urine and waste
- Target ammonia odours caused by dog urine
- Treat odour build-up below the turf surface
- Leave behind a cleaner, fresher-smelling turf area
Since 2024, TurfGlo has worked across tens of thousands of square metres of synthetic turf in residential, commercial and pet-use environments. That hands-on experience gives us real insight into where pet odours build up and how to treat them effectively.
The result? Fresher, cleaner synthetic turf that is safer and more enjoyable for the whole family.
Sanitisation with TurfGlo Shield™
Our professional services use the TurfGlo Shield™️ two-step system, combining:
- A biodegradable sanitiser treatment for turf hygiene
- A plant-based TurfGlo Enzyme™️ deodorising treatment for pet odour control
This system is designed to help treat both hygiene and odour issues caused by pet urine, faeces, saliva and everyday pet traffic — without damaging your turf. The sanitiser helps improve turf hygiene, while the enzyme treatment works through the turf and base to help break down odour-causing organic matter where pet smells can build up.
You don’t need to worry about harsh chemical residues when used as directed. We recommend allowing the treatment to settle in before using the turf again.
Safe for Kids, Pets, and the Planet
All TurfGlo products are:
You don’t need to worry about chemical exposure or harsh residues. Your turf is ready for use shortly after treatment.
Optional ATP Testing (Commercial & Childcare)
For commercial and high-sensitivity environments like child care centres, dog day cares, or shared turf areas, we offer ATP testing to verify surface hygiene. This rapid test measures microbial residue and confirms your turf is clean to a professional standard.
Note: ATP testing is available as an optional add-on for qualifying clients.
Why Regular Turf Cleaning Matters
Even when pet waste is picked up, microscopic bacteria, parasites, and organic residue remain embedded in turf fibres and infill. These can transfer to:
- Shoes
- Hands and paws
- Indoor floors and surfaces
Regular cleaning prevents harmful build-up and ensures your artificial grass isn’t just tidy—it’s truly hygienic.
Do We Use Pet Infill?
In most cases, no—we no longer recommend or use pet infill.
Thanks to our enzyme-based process, we remove odour and bacteria effectively without the need for odour-trapping sand or minerals. However, if your turf already contains infill, we’re happy to advise on how to maintain or refresh it safely.
