Pet Turf Care
Preventing Odours in Pet Turf
Learn how to keep your pet turf fresh, clean, and odour‑free using proper drainage, rinsing routines, enzyme cleaners, and our NO‑INFILL system advantage.
1. Start With Proper Drainage
Odours form when urine sits in the turf instead of draining through. Our pet turf uses a rapid‑flow backing that drains instantly and prevents bacteria buildup.
- 100% permeable backing
- No infill to trap urine
- Fast drainage = fewer odours
Pet Turf Drainage Diagram
This diagram shows how urine drains through the turf and into the base layer, preventing odour-causing buildup.
2. Rinse High‑Use Areas Weekly
A quick hose rinse once or twice a week keeps the turf fresh. Focus on your dog’s favourite spots.
3. Use Enzyme Cleaners Monthly
Enzyme cleaners break down organic compounds that cause odours. Use monthly or as needed.
- Safe for pets
- Breaks down bacteria
- Neutralizes odours at the source
4. Avoid Infill (Your System Already Does)
Infill traps urine and causes long‑term odours. Your NO‑INFILL pet turf system eliminates this problem entirely.
5. Brush Fibres Upright
Brushing keeps fibres upright and prevents urine from pooling in matted areas.
Need help keeping your pet turf odour‑free?
We offer professional cleaning, enzyme treatments, and turf refresh services.

Why does pet turf develop odours?
Odours occur when urine is not fully flushed through the turf backing and drainage base. Bacteria buildup, poor drainage, and infill saturation are the most common causes.
How do you prevent urine odours in pet turf?
Preventing odours requires proper drainage, regular rinsing, enzyme cleaners, and antimicrobial infill. A permeable turf backing and a compacted aggregate base help flush liquids through.
What is the best infill for odour control?
Antimicrobial infills such as ZeoFill or EnviroFill are the best options for odour control. They absorb ammonia, reduce bacteria, and help keep the turf fresh in multi-dog homes.
How often should pet turf be rinsed?
Pet turf should be rinsed weekly for single-dog homes and more frequently for multi-dog yards. Rinsing helps flush urine through the backing and prevents odour buildup.
Do enzyme cleaners help with odours?
Yes. Enzyme cleaners break down organic waste and neutralize ammonia. They are highly effective for maintaining freshness, especially in high-use areas.
Does proper installation help prevent odours?
Yes. A permeable turf backing, compacted aggregate base, and correct slope ensure liquids drain properly. Good installation is the most important factor in long-term odour control.
Is pet turf suitable for multi-dog homes?
Yes. Multi-dog homes benefit from deeper drainage base, antimicrobial infill, and regular rinsing. These upgrades significantly reduce odours and improve turf lifespan.
