How do you clean an artificial lawn used by pets?

Artificial grass is a real life-changer for pets and their owners. Providing a garden that can be used all year round, without any muddy messes to deal with, and it’s super easy to clean Artificial Grass from any pet mess!

How to clean up after your pets.

Artificial grass is really easy to clean, here’s our advice to keep your artificial lawn fresh:

Pet urine will drain through the backing holes in the artificial grass. However, to keep the area sanitary for the whole family, we recommend washing the area with warm soapy water or a disinfectant solution when you can. Rain will naturally help liquids pass through your lawn, so in dry periods it may also be worth rinsing your lawn to help this process.

For pet mess, we recommend picking this up as soon as possible. (It’s important not to let mess build up, as this could affect the drainage of your lawn.) We all know how unpleasant it is to step in, and you certainly won’t want your pets to roll around in it! As with urine, the area can be washed and brushed with soapy water or disinfectant.

Dogs are as varied as humans, so for dogs with particularly smelly urine/mess it may be that you need to repeat some of these steps more often than others!
