Can Dogs Stink Up Your Artificial Turf?

/by

The COVID pandemic has created a surge in dog sales, with adoptions increasing by more than 200% in 2020. However, homeowners from Los Angeles to San Diego are now discovering that with cute pups come their not-so-cute messes and odors. Unfortunately, dog urine smell is an issue across all softscapes and hardscapes, and artificial grass is no different. If you have synthetic turf installed in your Southern California home, you can follow these steps to minimize pet odors and keep your backyard smelling fresh for you and your new furry friend to enjoy.

Ensure adequate drainage

When installing artificial grass, make sure that your landscaping has sufficient drainage. High drainage rates will help more effectively flush away pet urine and, as a result, the associated foul odors. Artificial grass almost always has an exponentially higher drainage rate than natural grass, so opting for pet-friendly turf will make your life a lot easier (and better smelling).

Rinse proactively

To minimize odors and keep them from locking into the blades of your turf, rinse your lawn as often as possible. As soon as possible after your dog goes to the bathroom, quickly rinse the area with your garden hose. This will help wash away any remaining ammonia and prevent it from forming odors. If it isn’t possible to do it as soon as your dog goes to the bathroom, make it part of your schedule to rinse down your lawn regularly, whether that’s once a day or once a week.

Target pet odors

Another way to combat pet odors is by utilizing products that are specially made for this purpose. Our TurFresh BioS+ turf deodorizer is engineered to eliminate pet odors by breaking down the odor-causing ammonia and proteins in pet urine. Whereas other deodorizers simply mask the smell with fragrance, TurFresh BioS+ eliminates the smell and prevents it from ever reaching the nose. Best of all, it’s all-natural and safe for both kids and pets. It comes with an easy-to-use BioSiphon sprayer for quick, even, and hassle-free application that can be done daily for upkeep or as-needed for odor elimination.

Get a professional deep clean

One of the most effective ways to eliminate pet odor is by leaving it to professionals. A professional artificial turf cleaning service will rejuvenate your lawn and improve it in many ways, including odor elimination. TurFresh’s TurfClean service is a comprehensive 10-point process that includes re-blooming synthetic turf blades, topping up infill, tucking in lifted seams, and, of course, eliminating pet odors. We have scheduled service plans for routine artificial turf maintenance, or you can call us when you need us.

If you’re experiencing pet urine odors, TurFresh is your one-stop shop for odor elimination. We offer professional artificial turf cleaning services as well as market-leading odor elimination products that you can use at home.

3 Mistakes to Avoid When Removing Pet Urine from Artificial Turf

/by

Artificial turf is a savior for pet owners because it doesn’t die or turn brown where your pet relieves itself — a frustration that’s incredibly common amongst pet owners with natural grass. However, unpleasant odors can still accumulate in the affected area if you don’t perform routine artificial grass cleaning. Certain cleaning products and methods can even worsen the problem or damage your artificial grass. Next time you’re cleaning pet urine from your synthetic turf, make sure you’re following these simple guidelines — including what not to use!

Avoid Vinegar

Many online artificial grass care articles advise that you use a mixture of vinegar and water to clean pet urine stains. While diluted vinegar is good for spot cleaning some spills, it isn’t effective for dog urine. Applying vinegar to pet urine will simply mask the smell and leave a sour vinegar scent in its place. You may find that you have to clean the area again to get rid of the new, foul odor — a mix of dog urine and vinegar.

Avoid Sand

Some homeowners sprinkle sand over their artificial turf to absorb the urine, similar to the way that cat litter works. This is ill-advised, however, as the sand can become trapped in between the synthetic turf blades and hinder your artificial turf’s drainage capabilities. Next time your dog relieves itself in that spot, the accumulated sand will block the drainage flow and trap more of the urine, causing it to pool in that area and making it even more difficult to clean.

Avoid Bleach

Bleach is some homeowners’ go-to for killing bacteria and eliminating strong scents. However, when it comes to pet urine, this is a potentially dangerous solution. The bacteria present in pet urine produces ammonia, so if it’s mixed with bleach, toxic chemicals are produced which can be harmful to your family and pets. Never mix bleach and ammonia — instead, try a mild detergent or artificial turf-specific cleaning product.

What to Use Instead

TurFresh creates cleaning products that are specially engineered to eliminate pet odors from artificial grass. Our TurFresh BioS+ enzyme concentrate is a highly effective solution formulated to remove pet urine odor and stains by breaking down the ammonia and proteins present in pet waste. This eliminates the smell at the source rather than simply masking it, leaving a long-lasting freshness. Our TurFill infill works similarly. Use the TurfComb to apply infill between synthetic turf blades and eliminate pet odors while keeping your synthetic turf blades lush and upright. If you need a deeper clean, we offer residential artificial grass cleaning services that include a comprehensive 10-point process for long-lasting freshness.

To find out more about TurFresh’s odor-eliminating artificial grass maintenance products, visit our online store. All of our cleaning products are all-natural, non-toxic, and safe for kids and pets. If you’d like to schedule an artificial turf cleaning service for your home or business, give us a call at (855) 444-8873. We’re always happy to help and provide you with a free estimate.

Top 3 Synthetic Grass Products for Pet Owners

/by

Homeowners from Las Vegas to Phoenix love artificial grass landscaping for its desert-friendly benefits and low-maintenance nature. However, one of the biggest benefits of synthetic turf is how great it is for pet owners. From its evergreen appearance to its efficient drainage, artificial turf is beloved for being pet-friendly and worry-free. If you’re a pet owner with newly installed artificial grass landscaping, here are the top three products you need to get the most out of your synthetic turf.

1. Pet-Friendly Infill

Infill is an oft-overlooked aspect of artificial turf installation, but it’s one of the most crucial. Choosing the right infill can transform your installation and enhance its functionality for your household exponentially. If you have a furry friend (or two) running around your home, a pet-friendly infill such as TurFill is a must-have. TurFill is an all-natural infill that neutralizes pet urine odor at the source by breaking down the ammonia and proteins in the urine. This fully eliminates the smell rather than simply covering it up, which results in a deeper clean and longer-lasting freshness for your artificial pet turf. Best of all, it’s non-toxic and completely safe to use around kids and pets.

2. Artificial Turf Deodorizer

Eliminating pet odor can be a full-time job, so the more products you have to combat this issue, the better. Having an artificial turf deodorizer that you can apply as-needed to areas with fouls scents will be a lifesaver when guests are coming over, kids want to play, or if you simply want to make sure that your lawn is odor-free at all times. Our TurFresh BioS+ is one of the most effective artificial turf deodorizers on the market, utilizing our innovative BioS+ enzyme technology to eliminate pet urine odors and stains. Just like our infill, it is all-natural, non-toxic, and safe for every member of your family. It can even be applied to other surfaces in your backyard such as cement, in addition to your synthetic grass landscaping.

3. Artificial Turf Groomer

As a pet owner, you know that pet hair ends up everywhere. That includes your artificial grass. Pet hair, if left to build up over time, can impede your drainage and damage your artificial turf, so it’s recommended that you brush your synthetic turf and remove pet hair regularly. An artificial turf groomer is an essential tool for any pet owner. Synthetic turf groomers such as the TurfComb are specially designed to be effective with synthetic grass landscaping, removing pet hair and debris without damaging the polyethylene turf blades, unlike traditional rakes. The TurfComb is also great for raking leaves and spreading TurFill across your artificial turf lawn. Using the TurfComb along with TurFresh BioS+ spray and TurFill granular infill will help keep your synthetic turf lawn a pet paradise!

Everything you need to keep your lawn pristine is available at the TurFresh online store. From artificial turf groomers to synthetic turf deodorizers, all of our products are designed especially for artificial turf and are proven to be highly effective. We make sure all of our products are all-natural, non-toxic, and entirely pet-friendly. For any inquiries regarding your order or our product selection, give us a call at (855) 444-8873 or fill out our contact form.

What to Do if a Skunk Sprays Your Synthetic Turf

/by

Whether you live in Las Vegas, Phoenix, or Los Angeles, skunks can be hard to avoid. While they’re more common in some places than others, virtually everyone has smelled that unpleasant odor in their life. If your turf gets sprayed by a skunk, it can leave an unpleasant scent that lingers for days or even weeks. It keeps your kids from playing, your pets from roaming, and your whole family from enjoying the sunshine. Next time your artificial grass lawn gets sprayed by a skunk, try some of these remedies to get rid of the odor fast.

Pet Turf

Some artificial grass varieties are specially engineered with pets in mind, so if you’ve installed pet turf in your home, you’ll already have a leg up when it comes to ridding your lawn of skunk spray. Pet turf is designed to have ultra-efficient drainage that flushes away urine and its associated odor more quickly than other turf varieties, and it often has additional odor-preventing qualities. Skunk spray will still affect pet turf, so you aren’t completely off the hook, but paired with the remedies listed below, you should have far less of a problem cleaning up your pet turf lawn.

Home Remedies

If you don’t have any turf cleaning products on hand, there are a couple of home remedies recommended for lessening skunk odor. The first is tomato juice. Usually recommended for eliminating skunk odors on people and clothing, this tactic also applies to synthetic turf blades. If only a small section of your turf has been affected by the skunk spray, apply tomato juice and let it soak into the turf for 10-20 minutes before rinsing. The acid in the tomato juice should neutralize the chemicals that cause skunk spray to smell so foul.

If that doesn’t work, or if you don’t have tomato juice in your pantry, you can also use the Humane Society’s recommended home remedy. Simply mix 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap, and ¼ cup of baking soda. Rub the solution gently on the affected area while wearing gloves, then thoroughly flush the turf with fresh water. Don’t let the solution sit on the turf for too long, as the peroxide could bleach or otherwise damage your artificial grass blades.

Turf Deodorizing Spray

If you want a simple solution with no chemical mixing or grocery store runs required, TurFresh BioS+ is a highly effective turf deodorizer that eliminates odors and deposits a fresh scent. However, unlike other turf deodorizers, TurFresh BioS+ doesn’t just mask the odor; it eliminates foul scents at the source by chemically neutralizing them. Simply spray the solution over the affected area using the convenient BioSiphon sprayer. It’s all-natural and completely safe for kids and pets, and since it’s specially formulated for artificial grass maintenance, you don’t need to worry about potentially damaging your turf blades.

Deodorizing Infill

Using a deodorizing infill such as Turfresh TurFill can also help eliminate skunk odors. Our TurFill is specially constructed to fit perfectly between blades to neutralize the odors associated with pet waste by chemically breaking down the odor-causing bacteria. Paired with TurFresh BioS+, you can guarantee your family a safe, clean, and fresh-smelling lawn year-round, no matter what critters find their way onto your turf. 

If your artificial grass lawn is suffering from stubborn odors like skunk spray, trust the artificial grass maintenance experts at TurFresh. We have the tools and products to thoroughly refresh your lawn and remove even the toughest animal odors. Our proprietary TurFresh BioS+, TurFill, and cleaning products are some of the most powerful and effective on the market, and we use them in every single one of our turf cleaning services. If your synthetic grass lawn needs odor removal or a general pick-me-up, give TurFresh a call today at (855) 444-8873.

How to Keep Your Artificial Grass Safe for Pets During COVID-19

/by

The knowledge surrounding COVID-19 is constantly changing as we learn more about the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and there’s a lot we, as a society, don’t know about it yet. From all of the different ways it transmits to long-term effects on survivors, research is ongoing and safety recommendations are always evolving. Until we know all we can about COVID-19, it’s recommended that you take every precaution possible in order to best protect you and your loved ones, even including your pets. If you’re a Las Vegas or Phoenix pet owner with artificial grass landscaping in your home, we recommend going the extra mile with artificial grass maintenance to ensure that your backyard remains safe for the little ones in your family

Avoid contact with your pets if you’re sick

Although the risk of transmitting COVID-19 to your pets is low, it’s still believed to be possible. Because of this, the CDC recommends limiting exposure to your cats or dogs while infected. If you become ill, try to quarantine within a designated area of your home. Keep any pets outdoors or outside of your quarantine zone in order to keep them safe from infection risk. If possible, have a family member or friend look after them until you are recovered and tested negative. It has not entirely known how pets contract COVID-19 or even whether pets can develop antibodies to the new virus, so it’s best to act with an abundance of caution in order to keep your furry friends as safe as possible. 

Clean your artificial grass regularly

Another way to reduce your pets’ risk of contracting or transmitting COVID-19 is to clean your artificial grass lawn with extreme consistency. You likely wipe down and sanitize every other part of your home, so why not do the same treatment to the exterior? Although COVID-19 risk is significantly reduced outdoors, it’s always better to show an abundance of caution when it comes to keeping your home clean. TurFresh offers several products that boast antibacterial properties and enzymes that work to break down harmful contaminants. Our products are not proven to kill COVID-19, but the high-quality surfactants and enzymes in the TurFresh BioS+ formula can reduce the risk of exposure.

Invest in scheduled turf maintenance

If you don’t have the time to perform artificial grass maintenance yourself, invest in scheduled turf cleaning services provided by our turf maintenance experts. Routine turf cleaning services such as those offered by TurFresh provide a deep clean for your lawn and reduce your risk of COVID-19 transmission. In addition, it will leave your lawn looking and smelling better than it has since the day it was installed. We perform a comprehensive 10-point cleaning process for all residential cleaning services, which includes the application of several antibacterial products such as our proprietary TurFresh BioS+ turf deodorizer and TurfFill infill. All of the products we use are completely non-toxic and safe for pets, so your lawn will be safer, cleaner, and better for your pet once we’re finished with it. 

There is currently no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading COVID-19, and the risk is considered low by the CDC. However, there have been some instances of COVID-19 spreading from people to animals, including cats and dogs, which is why proper precautions should be taken to protect them against the virus. It’s also unknown whether contaminants that your pet picks up from outside could make their way back to you if you make contact with your pet, so it’s best to implement routine sanitation practices in order to reduce your risk of contracting the illness. If you’d like to schedule a residential turf cleaning service in the Las Vegas, Phoenix, or Los Angeles areas, contact TurFresh today at (855) 444-8873.

Understanding TurFresh’s Antimicrobial Turf Cleaning Products

/by

If you are someone with an artificial grass landscape, whether residential or commercial, you are probably looking to keep your synthetic turf fresh. You are in the right place! In visiting our site, you will notice we talk a lot about our TurFresh synthetic grass maintenance products, and you’ve likely seen the terms BioS+ and TurFill mentioned repeatedly throughout. But what are they really, and how do they work? In this blog, we’re giving you a deep dive into our most famous products to help you understand TurFresh’s industry-leading antimicrobial turf cleaning products.

TurFresh BioS+

TurFresh BioS+ is the superstar of the TurFresh product lineup; it’s an as-needed turf deodorizing spray that removes pet odor and leaves your lawn smelling fresh. This all-natural chemical formula utilizes the process of bioaugmentation by bonding to any existing malodorous molecules such as ammonia and changing its molecular make-up. By degrading the bacteria, TurFresh BioS+ eliminates odor at the source rather than merely masking it like other products. This ensures that your lawn stays fresh and clean for as long as possible, and since it’s easy to apply, traces of odor can be eliminated as quickly as they’re detected. Each bottle comes with a BioSiphon sprayer to help you apply the product with maximum efficacy. TurFresh BioS+ is available in fabric scent, lemon scent, and orange scent, as well as a variety of sizes and value packs. TurFresh BioS+ has been proven to provide the most effective long-term odor control in both labs and field applications, so you don’t need to just take our word for it—the science doesn’t lie!

TurFill

Effective synthetic grass maintenance goes beyond the surface. Infill is one of the most crucial elements of protecting your lawn’s quality and longevity. TurFresh’s signature TurFill infill product works both independently as well as in conjunction with TurFresh BioS+ in order to keep your synthetic turf fresh and odorless. TurFill acts like a sponge to absorb and break down the ammonia and other odor-causing bacteria in your turf, eliminating smells at the source rather than covering them up. It helps dry pet messes quickly and proactively keep odor-causing bacteria at bay. To apply TurFill most optimally, evenly spread the infill by hand (or using a drop spreader for commercial applications), applying the most products where your pets most frequently urinate. Then work the TurFill into the thatch using a stiff-bristled brush. TurFill is specially created to fit perfectly between the blades of artificial grass where odor molecules are trapped. All natural, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly, it’s fully safe for kids and pets.

If you want to have a fresh and clean lawn year-round, there’s no better choice than TurFresh’s market-leading antimicrobial artificial turf maintenance products. Our online store has a variety of product sizes and fragrances available to choose from, or you can take advantage of our full-service, 10-point turf maintenance service. We utilize our top-of-the-line proprietary products throughout the process to ensure the most thorough clean possible. To find out more or book an appointment, give us a call today at (855) 444-8873. We also encourage you to visit our online store to purchase TurFresh products for at-home turf maintenance as you need it.

Artificial Turf Cleaning Tips for New Pet Owners

/by

There are few things more exciting than bringing home a new pet. From holding them close on the way home to introducing them to your home for the first time, every step of the process is magical and new. However, that new pet appeal can wear off more quickly than you’d like it to once their bathroom habits are fully revealed. Artificial grass is a great option for pet owners, whether for potty training purposes or puppy playtime. Although synthetic turf is highly durable, you still need quality artificial turf maintenance in order to keep your lawn looking as pristine as it did pre-pup. Luckily, TurFresh has everything you need to keep your lawn in peak condition, so you can maximize the time you spend enjoying your dog and minimize the time you spend cleaning up after it. 

TurFresh BioS+

If you want a foolproof DIY solution that will keep your turf looking and smelling fresh year-round, our proprietary TurFresh BioS+ deodorizing spray is the ideal solution. Our formula was specially formulated to remove pet odor more effectively than other brands; TurFresh Bios+ breaks down the ammonia and proteins in pet urine to eliminate the small altogether rather than just covering it up. This results in a deeper clean and a longer-lasting fresh scent. It’s safe to use around kids and pets, and it can be easily applied as-needed for a quick turf maintenance pick-me-up.

TurFill

Another way to combat pet odors is by replacing your standard infill with pet-approved TurFill. TurFill is an all-natural infill that neutralizes pet urine odor in the same way BioS+ does, eliminating the odor at the source rather than temporarily masking it. It helps dry up pet messes with record speed and stays ready for the next mess. Next time you perform your synthetic turf maintenance, choose TurFill for a pet-proof lawn that will stay fresh, clean, and evergreen.

TurFresh Professional Cleaning Service

If you prefer to leave the artificial turf maintenance to the experts, TurFresh offers professional turf cleaning services for homes throughout the country.

3 Ways to Keep Your Turf Fresh Between Cleanings

/by

If you’ve ever had a professional artificial turf cleaning service from TurFresh, you know how remarkably it rejuvenates your lawn. Our comprehensive 10-point cleaning process goes beyond what the average homeowner can do and deep cleans your synthetic grass from root to tip. However, as much as we’d like to be there for you every day, sometimes you may notice that your lawn starts looking a little worse for wear before you’re due for your next TurFresh service. If this is the case, follow these three tips to keep your synthetic grass looking fresh and vibrant between TurFresh cleanings.

  1. Clear Your Synthetic Grass of Dirt & Debris

The step that will make the biggest difference in the appearance of your lawn is simply to keep it clean of any stray debris or noticeable dirt. Pick up large items that have fallen onto your turf such as twigs and leaves. You can use a synthetic bristle rake or a push broom to collect large amounts of debris, but avoid using more powerful tools such as a leaf blower. It’s also recommended that you rinse down your lawn every week or two in order to flush away any microbes and minuscule dirt and debris that may be caught between turf blades. Your turf’s drainage system should make this a quick and easy process with incredible results.

  1. Keep Your Turf Blades Lifted & Full

Another factor that has a big impact on the appearance of your lawn is the matting of your turf blades. When your artificial grass blades become flattened or matted down, it will detract from the overall appearance of your outdoor space. Cross-brush your turf blades on a monthly basis in order to keep them standing on end and looking full. Brush your turf blades away from the grain using a comb with synthetic bristles in order to counteract any matting and make your lawn look fluffy and visibly more healthy. This will also help ensure that your lawn looks as natural as possible. 

  1. Apply Turf Deodorizer to Prevent Odor Buildup

The number one reason that we get calls from clients requesting our services is because of noticeable pet odor. If you have any pets at home, especially large dogs, you may notice that your lawn retains an unpleasant odor after a few months due to pet waste and other germs. TurFresh’s turf cleaning services eliminate all pet odors for long-lasting freshness; however, you may find yourself in need of a quick fix before your next cleaning service is scheduled. If you start to get pet odors that can’t wait until your next appointment, use a turf deodorizing product such as TurFresh BioS+. Our turf deodorizer is all-natural and non-toxic, using natural enzymes to completely neutralize odors at the source.

If your artificial grass is in need of a pick-me-up, choose TurFresh turf cleaning services. Our thorough 10-point process will revitalize your lawn and leave it looking as spotless as the day it was installed. To make an appointment today, give us a call at (855) 444-8873. We also have an online store where you can purchase our proprietary cleaning products and grooming tools, perfect for keeping your turf fresh between cleaning services. 

How to Control Pet Odor with Synthetic Grass Products

/by

Pets bring joy and laughter to any home; however, they also often bring bad smells and messes. As much as you love your furry friend, there’s no denying that they make it difficult to maintain a fresh, perfectly green lawn year-round. With synthetic turf landscaping and regular turf cleaning services, however, you can keep your backyard smelling great no matter how big your four-legged family is.

Effective Drainage System

One of the features that makes artificial turf great for controlling pet odor is its highly efficient drainage capabilities. Synthetic turf is installed with a drainage system underneath the grass that allows more than 30 inches of water to drain per hour square yard. This means that any pet urine will drain through the turf and be washed out of your backyard, rather than settling on the surface and leaving a foul odor like with natural grass. It’s also extremely easy to rinse down your turf and flush away any pet waste; thanks to the efficient drainage, your turf will be dry within the hour. This means that there’s minimal slip risk, no surface pooling, and much less harmful bacteria left on your lawn. TurFresh’s turf cleaning services can further enhance this functionality by improving your turf’s drainage through regular maintenance. By removing pet hair and cross-brushing your turf, we’ll ensure that your drainage isn’t impeded so you’ll always have maximum efficiency.

Antimicrobial Infill

If you own pets and want to keep your yard clean, another important aspect of your artificial grass lawn to consider is the infill. Choosing a pet-friendly, antimicrobial infill product will help keep your pets safe and your yard smelling fresh. TurFresh offers its own pet-safe infill product that works to neutralize odors at the chemical level. Our TurFill infill exchanges ions with odor-causing elements in pet waste, trapping the odor and preventing it from ever reaching the nose. It’s all-natural, safe for kids, and stays cooler than other infills, so your lawn will be more enjoyable and more sanitary. 

Turf Deodorizer

The products you choose during the turf installation process and how well you maintain them are all crucial for controlling pet odor. However, for quick, as-needed touch-ups, there are turf deodorizer products such as TurFresh BioS+. TurFresh BioS+ is an enzymatic concentrate that digests uric acid crystals, urea, and proteins to effectively eliminate pet odor at the source. This combination of naturally-occurring microorganisms and enzymes results in a revolutionary biotechnology product that is used by homeowners and industry professionals alike. You can purchase it for your own as-needed use from our online store, or allow our technicians to do the work for you through our comprehensive 10-step turf cleaning process. Whichever way you choose to go, you can rest assured that your synthetic grass is in good hands when you choose TurFresh for pet odor elimination.

Controlling pet odor is an issue that many homeowners struggle with, but some residents are starting to learn the secret to easy maintenance: TurFresh. Whether you need the deep clean offered by our thorough artificial grass cleaning services or you merely want to use our products to do it yourself, TurFresh can help you control pet odor with unrivaled effectiveness.

Why Artificial Grass is Perfect for Dog Kennels

/by

If you run a dog kennel, doggy daycare, vet hospital, or any other animal facility, artificial grass is a landscaping solution that will keep you and your four-legged clients happy. Beautiful, affordable, and low maintenance, synthetic turf will go a long way in improving the overall appearance and functionality of your pet-friendly outdoor space. Here are just a few reasons why artificial turf is perfect for your facility.

Extremely Durable

One of the biggest concerns for dog kennels is ensuring that any landscaping can stand up to the biggest, most boisterous dogs. While some kennels opt for all-concrete outdoor space that dogs can’t destroy, having beautiful green grass that they can run and play on will impress clients and ensure they bring back their pets for more playtime in the future. While natural grass can turn brown and rip out of the ground with ease, artificial grass is specially engineered to be extremely durable and resistant to pull force. Each turf blade is reinforced with triple tuft bind technology which ensures that there’ll be no doggy digging or holes in your green space. Even the most rambunctious of pups will be no match for the durability of your artificial grass.

Allergen-Free

If you run a doggy daycare, then you likely know that cats and dogs can suffer from grass allergies in the same way that people can. From sneezing to skin irritation, having natural grass can cause a bad reaction in some of your pups, causing you to have to restrict their outdoor playtime or try to treat their reactions. Synthetic grass, on the other hand, is made from a hypoallergenic material that is completely safe for pets. Artificial turf blades also don’t hold pollen the same way natural grass does, causing far less severe allergic reactions in those animals with hayfever. If you keep your turf well-maintained using a routine turf cleaning service such as TurFresh, you can all but eliminate harmful allergens that may restrict your dogs’ playtime and fun.

Easy to Clean

Where there are dogs, there is cleaning to be done. From vacuuming furniture to cleaning up pet waste, dogs can be high-maintenance. However, when you choose artificial grass for your dog kennel, you can rest assured that you have one less area to worry about. Natural grass can be difficult to keep clean. It requires daily watering, can cause your dogs to get dirty or muddy, and it becomes brown and patchy extremely easily. Artificial grass, however, is an extremely low-maintenance solution that always remains beautiful and functional for your space. Rather than cleaning your grass area every day, you can simply rinse down your turf with a hose every week or so to flush away any bacteria or debris. The efficient drainage system will ensure that your turf is dry and ready to play on in just a couple of hours. There are also a range of odor-neutralizing, antibacterial maintenance products that will ensure your green space stays clean and odor-free all year long. From TurFresh BioS+ deodorizer spray to BioKennel infill, TurFresh has everything you need to keep your kennel looking and smelling great. If you want clean-up to be even easier, allow us to do it for you. We offer commercial turf cleaning services that range from monthly to bi-annually, depending on your needs and your budget.

When clients choose whom to trust their beloved pups with, they want a facility that’s beautiful, clean, and looks like a paradise their furry friend would enjoy. Don’t scare them away with all-concrete patios or make life harder for yourself with natural grass. Artificial grass is the perfect solution for everyone, and TurFresh’s turf cleaning products and services will make your life easier than ever before. If you’d like to find out more about our services and how we can help your dog kennel stand out from the competition, give us a call at (855) 444-8873. We also offer an online store stocked with our industry-leading pet turf cleaning products.
