How Enzymes Help Maintain an odour-free Lawn

Maintaining a clean and fresh lawn can be challenging, but understanding the role of enzymes can simplify the task. Enzymes are natural catalysts that aid in breaking down organic materials, promoting a healthy lawn while reducing unwanted debris. This blog post delves into how enzymes work, their benefits in lawn care, and why enzyme cleaners are an excellent choice for every pet owner.

What is an Enzyme Cleaner?

Enzyme cleaners are specially formulated products that contain natural enzymes. These enzymes speed up biological reactions, breaking down waste materials such as pet urine. Unlike traditional cleaners that may use harsh chemicals, enzyme cleaners are environmentally friendly and safe for pets, lawns and gardens.

Why Use Enzyme Cleaners on Your artificial Lawn?

Using an enzyme cleaner can drastically change the way you care for your lawn. Here are the main advantages of incorporating enzyme cleaners into your lawn care routine:

1. Environmentally Friendly

Enzyme cleaners are non-toxic and biodegradable. They work naturally with the ecosystem, meaning they won't harm beneficial microorganisms. By using enzyme-based cleaner, you contribute to a healthier environment while maintaining your artificial lawn.

2. Odour Control

Pet waste and decaying organic materials can produce unpleasant smells. Enzyme cleaners neutralize these odours by breaking down the compounds that cause them. The colony of enzymes ingest the urine crystals found in the artificial grass, converting the smelly crystals into water and carbon dioxide (an odorless gas). This process removes the pet urine smell instead of temporarily masking the odour.

How to Apply Enzyme Cleaners on Your Lawn

Using enzyme cleaners is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure effective application:

1. Choose the Right Product: Different enzyme cleaners are available for various purposes. For lawns, look for products that specify they are suitable for grass and gardens. One great option is Turfresh enzyme artificial grass cleaner, if you have synthetic grass.

   
   

2. Read the Instructions: Before starting, read the instructions and follow the recommended guidelines.

   
   

3. Apply the Cleaner: Using the propriatary spray attachment, attach Turfresh artificial grass cleaner to the hose and apply the enzyme cleaner evenly across the lawn.

   Ensure you cover all areas, paying extra attention to spots with stronger odours.

   
   

4. Water the Lawn: 12 hours after applying the enzyme cleaner, water your lawn lightly. This helps activate the enzymes, allowing them to work effectively in breaking down organic materials.

   
   

5. Maintain Regular Applications: For best results, repeat the application process every 4 weeks in the cooler months and fortnightly in the warmer months.
