Natural Remedies
- Salt Water Solution: Mix salt with hot water in a 1:3 ratio. Prompt application and blotting are key to preventing ammonia odours from developing. It’s most effective immediately after the dog urinates.
- Vinegar Solution: A mixture of white vinegar and water (1:4 ratio) serves as a natural disinfectant and odour eliminator. Safe for pets and artificial grass, it can be enhanced with essential oils to offset the vinegar scent.
- Baking Soda Solution: Baking soda, known for its deodorising and absorbent properties, can be applied directly or in a paste form. It’s left for 20 minutes then cleaned up, effectively neutralising odours.
- Mild Soap and Water: A gentle soap solution can tackle lighter stains and odours. Scrubbing the area and rinsing thoroughly ensures cleanliness and safety.
