A CLOSER LOOK AT TURF CARE
Look closer. This is what turf maintenance removes.
Dog hair, dust, grit and organic debris can settle between artificial-turf fibres while traffic presses the blades and infill down. Drag the power broom through the turf to see what professional maintenance changes.

The power broom loosens and lifts. A separate sweeper collects the loosened material behind it.

Cleaning the fibres is one part of pet-turf care. Treating the odour source is another.
PET ODOUR TREATMENT
Pet odour can start below the surface.
Pet urine can move between the blades and leave odour-causing organic residue around the lower fibres and infill. ClearLawn’s targeted treatment reaches the affected area and helps break down the source of the smell—not simply cover it with fragrance.
Static illustration: choose a treatment stage above.
Natural odour counteractants begin neutralizing the smell.
Bio-enzymatic action helps break down the odour-causing organic residue.
Time is condensed to show application, dwell and drying. The symbols illustrate treatment action.
Residue can remain around lower fibres and nearby infill.
- 01Reaches below the visible surface
- 02Neutralizes persistent pet odour
- 03Helps break down organic residue
Illustrative demonstration. Treatment requirements and results vary with the turf system, drainage, installation and level of pet use. Repeated pet activity may require recurring treatment.
Mechanical maintenance removes debris, loosens infill and lifts flattened fibres.
Targeted treatment addresses odour-causing organic residue that mechanical grooming alone cannot remove.
TURF AND WATER MOVEMENT
Buildup affects more than appearance.
Fine debris and compacted infill can restrict the spaces water moves through near the turf surface. Professional maintenance can improve these upper conditions, but it cannot repair an improperly graded or failed drainage system.


Static comparison. Select a condition or replay the illustrated stages.
Before maintenanceMore water remains temporarily within the compacted upper infill.
After maintenanceThe same input moves more evenly through the loosened upper infill.
Both conditionsWater passes through the same backing and base.
Drag to compare, or focus the slider and use the arrow keys.
Before maintenanceFine buildup and moderately compacted upper infill.
After maintenanceLifted fibres and loosened upper infill provide more even pathways.
Both conditions receive the same water input. Drag the comparison or select “Compare water movement” to begin.
