With the weather finally heating up and summer edging ever closer, maintenance for pet friendly artificial grass becomes crucial to ensure your lawn stays fresh and clean for all your (furry) family and friends to enjoy.
Remember: Artificial grass isn’t NO maintenance, it’s LOW maintenance!
Failing to adhere to the necessary maintenance for your turf could result in your warranty being void, so if you’re unsure of what to do or when to do it – read on for all the information you need!
Why does your lawn need extra TLC in summer?
K9Turf’s woven quadro-bind backing works hand in hand with the Zeolite Infill that sits within and the bio-enzyme cleaner we supply for maintenance, to prevent the build up of harmful bacteria and toxic ammonia left behind by dog waste. If left to fester this build-up causes an unbearable smell, especially in warm summer weather, which becomes increasingly difficult to remove.
The infographic below details exactly when and how to apply the bio-enzyme cleaner, in addition to explaining the roles both the cleaner and zeolite infill play in keeping your lawn hygienic and fresh smelling year-round:
Is it safe for my pets to use after cleaning?
