Pets just love to go out and play on the lawn. While pet owners enjoy watching their pets roll around in the artificial grass, cleaning up after them, especially when they urinate on the turf could be daunting if you don’t know how to clean it effectively. A lot of people believe that artificial turf should not be installed because it is a nightmare to clean, and the smell of urine never goes away. The truth, however, is that it is a lot easier to clean artificial turf, and it does not smell bad when you know how to maintain it the right way.
Just like with any other grass, drainage plays a vital role in ensuring that the surface is cleaned regularly. If you have a proper drainage system installed with your artificial turf, you won’t need to worry about bad-smelling or foul-smelling stench that stays back after your pet has urinated because this smell is immediately drained away. As a homeowner, you should always try to clean up after your pet, which merely means turning on the sprinkler system or watering the area where your pet has urinated. This helps to get rid of the urine immediately, and once it is out of your grass, there would be no smell for you to worry about.
The smell of urine tends to get worse when it stays in a particular place for a long time. If you forget to clean up after your pet or you weren’t around when your pet urinated, then you can always clean up later. You can use water and then disinfect the area with a little vinegar diluted in water to kill the smell. Artificial turf is actually a lot easier to maintain in comparison to natural grass, and cleaning up after your pet also becomes less of a hassle. When you install artificial grass, the only thing you should focus on is getting a proper drainage system because this helps to keep the turf clean and beautiful all the time.
