How to remove urine smell from artificial grass?

Do you have an artificial grass lawn? Then you are aware that accidents happen on the artificial grass. Your pet, dog or cat does its business on the lawn and it will inevitably start to stink. Especially on dry days and when the sun is shining, the urine smell will really work its way into the artificial grass!

Artificial grass and urine

Artificial grass will not suffer permanent damage from urine and will not fade or discolour when your dogs or cats do their business on it. On the other hand, it is annoying when you are sitting in the garden or working and are constantly confronted with a urine smell. The smell of urine is often persistent and continues to stink even after you have cleaned it.

Removing urine odor from artificial grass

First of all, it is important that you rinse the spot where your dog or dog has urinated with water. We recommend lukewarm or warm water for the best effect and then rinse with the garden hose, the artificial grass mat is water-permeable and the urine will flow away diluted into the ground. This option is limited and is only effective if you are quick and can do this within a few minutes of the accident. If you can rinse the urine off the artificial grass quickly, the smell will also disappear immediately and it will no longer stink afterwards.

Has the urine dried up yet? Then use cleaning vinegar, green soap or a special cleaning agent for removing urine. You can often find these agents in a pet shop.

Please note! Artificial grass is made of plastic, do not use caustic cleaning agents.

Removing urine odor from artificial grass can also be done with special odor neutralizing granules that you can sprinkle in the artificial grass. These neutralize the urine smell and are also a suitable option if you have pets that pee in the garden every day!

Odor neutralizing granules for artificial grass

You can remove urine from artificial grass by flushing. If you are too late to flush, odor neutralizing granules for artificial grass can be an option to remove the smell of urine. Simply sprinkle these granules from your artificial grass, the granule will neutralize the ammonia odor of the urine. The neutralizing granules for artificial grass ensure that the ammonia is picked up before the odor can develop. There are also 2 advantages to these granules, you only have to sprinkle the odor neutralizing granules once. The granules never have to be replaced.  

A second advantage is that the blades of grass of the artificial grass remain upright better. The blades are given extra support by the grains, which means they are less likely to lie down.
