Synthetic grass and dog pee

bright.ton42 — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 02:02:56 GMT

Does anyone have this and dogs, and if so how do you remove the smell of dog pee? I've just had my courtyard covered with it ..... yes before I get lectures, lol, I would have preferred real grass but can't handle mowing or weeding with my back. And I just love the look of the grass it's so natural. I thought it would be great for the dogs to play on and they do, but of course they also pee, and the odour isn't noticeable except when the sun shines on it.

I'd try spraying it with white vinegar to neutralise the smell and disinfect.

Leave it for 5 mins and hose it off. Worth a try.

Otherwise there are expensive products designed for urine on synthetic grass

Believe it or not I know "Google is my Friend" but just wondering if anyone has personal experience before I pay heaps for commercial stuff. the vinegar sounds a good idea stawka.

If the vinegar fails try Nilodor.....it is available in the supermarket and relatively inexpensive.

Put a drop or two in water in a spray bottle and give the spot a spray.

Vinegar is a cure-all for many things, Bright.

I use it to combat mould in the bathroom!

How you going anyway! ?

You got more dogs?

It does not absorb animal waste,but is permeable so liquids pass through to the ground. And also if you lay it in an area that's in direct sunlight it does get hot and if you walk on it,it may burn your feet. It lasts for about 25 years and is expensive.

It's already laid and I notice it gets hot, but it looks lovely. Not a large area. I don't think the grass itself was that expensive but the labour was, though it was a lot of work for them with prep. .

Hi Icy, I've got my Phoebe chi, and I also now mind little dogs at home, so may occasionally have about 3 to 4. That's a lot of weeing, lol. But they love playing on the 'lawn'. When it was first laid i noticed a row of birds sitting on my fence peering intently at it, presumably looking for worms, lol.
