Understanding TurFresh’s Antimicrobial Turf Cleaning Products

TL;DR

Artificial grass can trap pet urine, ammonia, and odor-causing bacteria deep within the turf fibers and infill. TurFresh’s antimicrobial turf cleaning system combines BioS+ odor-eliminating spray and TurFill antimicrobial infill to break down ammonia at the source, not just mask smells. These products are all-natural, non-toxic, safe for kids and pets, and designed to keep residential and commercial synthetic turf fresh year-round.

 

Quick Answer

TurFresh antimicrobial turf cleaning products eliminate pet odors by breaking down ammonia and bacteria at the source using bioaugmentation and antimicrobial infill technology, rather than masking smells with fragrance.

 

 

What Is Antimicrobial Turf Cleaning?

Antimicrobial turf cleaning is the process of eliminating odor-causing bacteria, ammonia, and organic buildup within artificial grass using products that neutralize microbes at the molecular level.

Unlike surface cleaners that only rinse or deodorize turf fibers, antimicrobial treatments work inside the turf system.

They target:

• Pet urine ammonia

• Bacteria trapped in thatch

• Odor molecules embedded in infill

• Moisture retention that causes recurring smells

This approach provides longer-lasting freshness and prevents odors from returning quickly.

 

Why Does Artificial Grass Develop Odor?

Artificial grass develops odor when pet urine breaks down into ammonia and bacteria become trapped in the turf backing and infill.

Synthetic turf does not absorb waste like natural soil.

Instead, urine can settle into:

• The infill layer

• The turf backing

• The thatch zone between blades

Without antimicrobial treatment, ammonia accumulates and produces a strong, lingering smell. Heat and moisture can intensify the odor.

 

How Does TurFresh BioS+ Remove Turf Odor?

TurFresh BioS+ eliminates turf odor by bonding to ammonia molecules and degrading odor-causing bacteria through bioaugmentation.

BioS+ is an as-needed turf deodorizing spray designed for residential and commercial artificial grass. It works by:

• Attaching to malodorous molecules such as ammonia

• Changing their molecular structure

• Breaking down bacteria at the source

• Eliminating odor instead of covering it

Because it targets the cause of the smell, results last longer than traditional fragrance-based sprays.

 

📌 Each bottle includes a BioSiphon sprayer for even and effective application.

Available Options

TurFresh BioS+ is available in:

• Fabric scent

• Lemon scent

• Orange scent

• Multiple sizes and value packs

The formula is all-natural, non-toxic, and safe for children and pets.

 

What Is TurFill and Why Is Antimicrobial Infill Important?

TurFill is an antimicrobial infill designed to absorb, dry, and neutralize pet urine within artificial turf systems.

Infill plays a critical role in synthetic grass longevity and odor control.

TurFill works by:

• Acting like a sponge to absorb moisture

• Breaking down ammonia and bacteria

• Reducing odor at its source

• Helping turf dry faster after pet us

 

Unlike standard infill materials, TurFill is designed specifically for odor control and antimicrobial performance.

 

📌 It fits between turf blades where odor molecules often become trapped.

 

How Do BioS+ and TurFill Work Together?

BioS+ and TurFill work as a combined antimicrobial turf system.

BioS+ treats active odor and bacteria at the surface and infill level.
TurFill provides ongoing moisture absorption and bacterial control within the turf base.

Together, they:

• Prevent recurring ammonia buildup

• Eliminate existing odor

• Extend the life of artificial turf

• Improve overall turf hygiene

 

📌 This dual-layer approach provides longer-lasting results than using a spray alone.

 

How Do You Apply TurFill Properly?

TurFill should be evenly distributed across the turf surface, with heavier application in areas where pets frequently urinate.

For best results:

1. Spread evenly by hand or with a drop spreader

2. Apply more product in high-use pet zones

3. Work the infill into the thatch using a stiff-bristled brush

 

📌 This ensures the infill settles into odor-prone areas within the turf system.

 

Are TurFresh Products Safe for Kids and Pets?

Yes. TurFresh BioS+ and TurFill are all-natural, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly.

They are formulated specifically for residential lawns, pet areas, and commercial landscapes where safety is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is the best turf cleaner for pet urine?

• The best turf cleaner for pet urine is one that eliminates ammonia and bacteria at the source rather than masking odor. Antimicrobial products that use bioaugmentation provide longer-lasting odor control.

How long does artificial turf cleaning last?

• Results vary depending on use and climate, but antimicrobial treatments last significantly longer than fragrance-based sprays because they break down odor-causing bacteria.

What is antimicrobial infill for artificial turf?

• Antimicrobial infill is a specialized material placed between turf blades that absorbs moisture, reduces bacteria growth, and prevents ammonia buildup from pet urine.

Can you use natural cleaning products on artificial grass?

• Yes. Non-toxic, all-natural antimicrobial products designed specifically for synthetic turf are safe and effective for residential and commercial use.

Do turf deodorizer sprays really work?

• Deodorizer sprays that only mask odor provide short-term relief. Products that degrade ammonia and bacteria at the molecular level provide longer-lasting results.

How often should artificial grass be professionally cleaned?

• Residential lawns with pets benefit from periodic antimicrobial treatment, while commercial or sports fields may require routine professional cleaning depending on usage.
