Turf Cleaning Questions, Answered

Rinsing alone won't do it. Urine drains through the turf into the infill and backing, and the ammonia compounds it leaves behind keep producing odor long after the surface looks clean. The fix is an enzymatic turf cleaner like TurFresh BioS+ that digests those compounds at the source instead of covering them up. Apply evenly across the affected area, let it work, and repeat for long standing buildup. Not sure how much your yard needs? Our free pee calculator estimates it from your dogs and your square footage.

Heat and moisture reactivate the urea and bacteria sitting in your turf and infill, which is why a yard that seems fine in spring can hit you in July. If you live in a hot climate, BioX+ is our formula of choice, and a regular treatment schedule beats one big cleanup a year.

Because the source was never removed. Soaps and fragrances mask odor at the surface while the compounds causing it stay in the turf system. Enzyme treatment digests what is actually causing the smell, and if the odor is rising from deep down, TurFill deodorizing infill treats the layer sprays can't reach.

Vinegar can knock the smell down for a day or two, but it doesn't break down the urea and proteins that cause it, so the odor returns as soon as it dries, often with a sour vinegar note on top. Enzyme based cleaners are designed to digest the source rather than briefly covering it.

We don't recommend it. Harsh chemicals can degrade turf fibers and backing over time, and they're a risk for the pets and kids who play on the surface. TurFresh formulas use non-toxic, organic ingredients, the same products our own professional crews apply every day.

Enzymes are biological catalysts that break down the ammonia, urea, and proteins in pet waste into simple compounds that no longer smell. That is the difference between digesting an odor and perfuming over it, once the source is consumed, there is nothing left to stink.

Usually not. Long standing odor typically needs a deep reset, a stronger first treatment with BioX+, more product than a light refresh, and sometimes a water flush first.
