BioTurf Granular Turf Infill Yard Odor Eliminator 1 Gallon Pail

I love my dogs, and as a pet parent, I understand hygiene and sanitation is my responsibility. With that said, my dogs love to urinate and defecate on my fake astro turf, and as the weather warms, so did the very unpleasant smell of dog waste. I tried being hyper-vigilant with making sure all droppings were picked up quickly, I tried spraying the turf down with large amounts of water, and even though the turf looked clean, the smell was even worse. I figured there would be some type of remedy, and searched Amazon to find it. I purchased this 5 gallon bucket and was shocked how cheap it was considering the amount and weight considering the shipping was free. Application is simple - I just use a small Tupperware container bowl and gingerly shift/shake the contents on to the turf. I found using a shop broom allowed the easiest and quickest way to ensure the powder/product is less apparent on the surface. The durability of the product really depends on the weather, the amount of water used to spray down matter on the surface of the turf. My experience is it usually lasts about two weeks, but again depends on the amount of water applied to the turf. As far as the remnants, I have not noticed any left over or requirement to remove prior applications of this material. The 5 gallon bucket that this product comes in is leak proof and it is recommended you keep the lid on and secure to prevent spoilage/spilling of the product. The odors that was once omnipresent, have dissipated, and the product works well - there's no residual left over once worked into the turf, there is a small amount of deodorant smell to the product, but it is not offensive, and does not overpower your senses. The product itself looks like small kitty litter sand, it's white and grey in color, and easily blends in to the turf. I hope this helps, I've had the 5 gallon bucket for over 6 months, and it's currently 3/4 full.

I have no idea what kind of magical power this product has, but after hundreds of enzyme spray cleans my yard smelled like it had 4 dogs using it for potty time every time the sun came out. I put a boatload of this infill in and even in the beating sun you can’t smell the pee. I thought I’d need to replace my turf but this took care of the problem and even my mother commented how nice the back yard is again!

I recently used BioTurf Granular Turf Infill on the artificial grass in my backyard (where my dogs spend time), and it’s been a practical way to tackle pet odors. The granular infill is easy to spread — you just sprinkle it over the turf and brush/ work it in — and within a few hours the usual ammonia smell from urine becomes noticeably milder. Amazon +1 It’s also reassuring that the infill is labeled as naturally derived and safe for pets, kids, and plants — important for households with dogs (like yours). Walmart.com +1 That said: it’s not a magic fix. For heavy pet traffic or frequent accidents, you may need to reapply occasionally, and I still rinse the lawn regularly to keep it fresh. But for “normal” use, it’s a worthwhile, low-maintenance addition to help control smells.

I used this in conjunction with simple green odor eliminator. The simple green made things about 80% better, but this sealed the deal. I would say about 98% better. I can only get a small whiff of the urine smell here and there. The weather was about 100 degrees and that's when it gets the worst. When the weather is cool, I cannot smell anything. Highly recommended. Expensive for a big yard though. I each container to cover about 75-100sqft.

So for starters you need to research the whole process from turf to drainage to product for maintenance. I started with a 9x26ft dog run. First step for my application was dig out 3 yards of soil so that I could box out the area with 2x6 pressure treated wood(see pics), then level soil and tamper down. Then I laid 2 layers of weed barrier down. Next step I added about 5 inches of crushed or recycled concrete this helps with the drainage, then I added crushed blue stone so that this smaller aggregate fills in all the nooks and crannies of the recycled concrete. Then you use a power tamper or hand tamper to flatten and level it as best as possible. Next I played out the turf. Now here where it will pay off. I bought an expensive turf from Lowes. It is specifically made for PETS, it has several built in drainage holes built in to the bottom layer of turf, hence proper drainage. You cannot use a cheap roll of turf known as outdoor carpet. That is just for aesthetics and not for pets. Now this product...if you have installed a proper turf system, then most products will work. I chose this one as a test as this was my first time using. So here is my results....first I used my ryobi power brush to lift the turf fibers so the product will fill nice. Then I used a drop spreader to apply this product. Next I power brushed the fill into the turf. When I was satisfied I then used a deodorant liquid that's safe for pets and applied it with a hose sprayer. Again do your research I do this once every 3 months. In July & August I try to do it once for those months. This product works as i have went to the proper steps before hand. A little hard work in the beginning makes it easy to maintain in the end. From start to finish applying this product takes me about 45 minutes with the drop spreader and the power brush. I have 3 dogs between 85 and 120lbs. Do you homework. Negative reviews on this means someone laid a piece of cheap turf on the ground with no drainage and no upkeep. No magic here just smart preplanning. Good luck everyone. Take your time to do it right and this product WILL WORK!!. The only downfall is its pricey.

I bought/used this quite some time ago and I’m not really sure it did much for us. I noticed odors from pet urine not long after applying it, even with sporadic hosing down. I feel like I had 3-4 months of good use before benefits faded.

I just bought a new house in January and needless to say the backyard was not finished so it was a big mud pit. And it just kept raining. I couldn't prepare the ground properly for the turf and I really needed an area for my dogs to do their business without tracking in a ton of mud. So I bought 150 sq feet of dog turf and just threw it down on the side of my house. Problem solved. No mud in my house. Then the weather got better, the mud hardened and it soon became obvious that their urine was not draining properly. The smell was getting horrific very quickly. I still could not properly prepare the ground yet but I had to do something about the smell. I bought the bio fil spray concentrate cleaner and this bucket of the bio fil dog urine infil. I cleaned it with the spray and that cut the urine smell about 80% then I just put a few scoops off the infill and worked it into the turf. I didn't even use a much as I was supposed to because I will be properly preparing the ground sometime this month and I will be redoing the infill. To my absolute delight the smell is 95% gone!!!! I can still catch a faint whiff here and there but nothing like it was. I'm sure when I properly prepare the area, clean it again and then use the infill again with the correct amount my problem will be completely gone. This stuff works and saved my nose, my house and kept me from being "that neighbor". Thank you!

We have a small area for our two small dogs to pee (pic attached), and it really smells awful. I've been using Nature's Miracle with some success, although I always felt that only covered up the urine smell, so I wanted a more 'permanent' solution. I bought this product after reading the reviews for and against - I liked the idea of 'recharging it' after the smell comes back in a couple of months (which I fully expected). The product did arrive sooner than expected, so that was great. I applied the product liberally on the dry turf, and tried to brush it in with a broom, but that didn't really work, so I just hosed it down to even it out. The next day, the smell was there and it was as strong as always, so I applied a more liberal amount to see if that would make any difference. To be honest, the smell is so bad that I was happy to just make this the top inch of the pee area if this would remove the stank, but even using a much higher amount than recommended, this product made no difference at all. While it seems to work for some people, but it most definitely did NOT work for me. I'm back for more Nature's Miracle...

I used about 20lbs for 100 or so square ft of artificial turf. I used a bit too much so you can see the fill at certain angles but don’t really care because i can’t smell dog urine any more. I already had infill applied so I just tossed this stuff on top and used a broom and hose to work it in. I also use a deodorizer enzyme every 2 weeks. This stuff seems to be working for over a month now, hopefully it continues to do so for a couple years

Watse of money if ur using it on artificial grass to prevent smell.
