Exclusive Artificial Grass Infill called “PetFill” Neutralises Pet Odours

Synthetic grass installer from Perth reveals why silica and rubber infills don’t solve the problem of chronic pet odours.
Perth, WA, 8 December 2014 - Green Planet Grass installs artificial grass in the Perth area. They offer an exclusive system for pet owners called GPG Pet Grass. Pet Grass has an important component called “PetFill,” which is designed to be a solution to the ever-present problem of pet odours in artificial grass.

Standard Infill and its Problems

Standard infill for artificial grass is usually made of silica sand or rubber pellets. Bacterial ammonia, the main odour-causing ingredient in pet urine, tends to adhere to both of these materials. Eventually, this causes pet odours. In addition, once the bacteria have attached themselves to standard infill in “colonies,” they are more difficult to get rid of.

Consequently, despite the “sales pitches” of many artificial grass companies, the combination of pets and standard artificial grass invariably combines to form an odour problem. Once the odour is established, it becomes more and more difficult to make it go away. There are many sprays on the market that serve only to mask the odours for a short period of time, but none that can solve the problem of chronic pet odours.

The Solution: the Green Planet Grass Pet Grass System

Green Planet Grass has completed more than 4,000 artificial grass installations in the Perth area. They solicit feedback on every job and keep detailed records. They use this feedback to constantly “tweak” and improve their products.

Due to a large number of requests that they formulate a product specifically for pets, they researched, developed and created GPG Pet Grass, which combines their existing products specifically in ways that are beneficial for pet owners. In addition, they developed a special infill for Pet Grass called “PetFill.”

PetFill is made of a honeycomb-shaped molecular structure that absorbs the odour-causing agents of pet urine and converts them into ions which are then flushed into the ground every time it rains, due to sodium ions in rainwater. The end result is that pet odours are drastically reduced and in some cases totally eliminated when PetFill is a part of the artificial grass system for a pet owner.

Justin Everley, Director of Green Planet Grass, an environmentally responsible artificial grass manufacturer in the Perth area, feels that the GPG Pet Grass System and its PetFill represent the best solution to the problem of pet odours and artificial grass. According to Mr Everley:

“We considered a lot of feedback and spent a lot on researching and developing our GPG Pet Grass System, and PetFill is a major component of that. It is the missing link that helps Pet Grass provide superior performance and solves the pet odour problem which has plagued homeowners with pets and artificial grass for years.”

Mr Everley concluded, “Pet Grass provides the best solution for those who want to have both pets and artificial grass without pet odours.”
