HOW TO GET RID OF DOG PEE SMELL ON GRASS


Relaxing and playing in the backyard with family is a time-honored tradition. But if your dog repeatedly relieves itself in that same yard, the resulting odors can make for an unpleasant experience.

Dogs are especially inclined to use the same spot repeatedly, which builds up over time and can make odor removal particularly difficult. Pet urine smell lingers long after the liquid has been absorbed and can last for months unless treated properly. To effectively remove dog pee smell, you'll want to make sure you're eliminating it, not just covering it up.

Rinsing the area with plain water won't do the trick — it only dilutes the smell temporarily, allowing the odor to return once the water evaporates. Common DIY remedies like hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and vinegar aren't much better: they can damage or kill your grass, and still won't fully break down the odor at its source.

Use a cleaning product with enzymes and live bacteria designed to break down and neutralize the source of the tough odors. Simple Green Outdoor Odor Eliminator uses naturally occurring bacterial microbes that eliminate odors at the source.

It's safe for use on dog runs, grass, artificial grass, gravel, patios, walkways, and more.

Directions for Removing Dog Pee Smell on Grass:

For best results, use the product during cooler times of the day such as dawn or dusk.

  1. Remove waste & shake well. Remove any solid waste from the area, then shake the Simple Green Outdoor Odor Eliminator hose-end sprayer thoroughly. Keep pets out of the area during application.
  2. Connect your hose. Attach a garden hose to the back of the sprayer, pointing the nozzle away from your face.
  3. Apply the cleaner. Turn on the water slowly, using low to moderate pressure. Push the safety tab forward toward the hose and turn the nozzle counterclockwise to the "On" position, then spray down the area.
  4. Let it soak in. Let the cleaner sit for 10 minutes to penetrate. Avoid letting it dry during this time — the longer it stays damp, the longer bacteria have to digest the organic soils. In windy or warm conditions, lightly mist the area with more product to prevent quick evaporation.
  5. Allow the area to dry. Repeat the process if needed.

TIP: Applying this product at dusk gives it more time to stay damp and active. You can also lightly mist the treated area with water afterward to reactivate the formula for additional deodorizing action.
