Best Practices For Removing Dog Feces From Artificial Turf
One downside of artificial grass for pet owners is that dog poop can’t biodegrade and must be manually removed. However, with the right tools and technique, you can easily clean dog waste to keep your fake lawn pristine. Follow these tips for removing dog feces from synthetic turf.
– Scoop solid poop immediately before it settles using a plastic bag or pooper scooper. Dispose of waste properly.
– For smooshed poop stuck to blades, use an old damp rag or soft brush to gently lift off debris. Avoid smearing.
– Mix warm water and an enzyme cleaner in a spray bottle. Lightly spritz stuck poop and let sit 5 minutes. Then rinse clean.
– For lighter stains, mild dish soap and warm water can also be used. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
– Groom the area afterward with a stiff brush moving opposite the grass grain to restore texture.
– Increase rinsing frequency of soiled areas and consider more absorbent infill to handle excess feces from multiple dogs.
– Install a drainage system if waste accumulation leads to odors. Aerating the turf can also help.
Regular scooping and gentle cleaning keeps artificial grass poop-free. Being diligent about removal as soon as possible prevents staining or bad smells.
