goneSynthetic Turf Disinfectant: Why Hosing Isn't Sanitising
Cleaning and disinfecting are two different jobs, and synthetic turf usually only gets the first one. A hose, a broom, maybe a squirt of something from under the sink. That clears debris and loose mess. It does nothing to the bacteria living in the pile and backing, especially anywhere pets, kids, or heavy foot traffic pass through daily.
For a backyard, that might not matter much. For a kennel run, a hotel's pet-friendly rooms, a school, or a sick bay, it does. That's the gap smellBgone SYNTURF is built to close.
What "sanitised" actually means
Sanitising means reducing bacteria to a safe level, not just clearing away what you can see. smellBgone SYNTURF is a concentrated, disinfectant-grade formula, the same calibre of product used in hospital wards, kennels, and commercial kitchens, reformulated to work on synthetic turf and hard floors without being harsh on the surfaces or the animals and people using them.
It's non-toxic and pet-safe, and it won't dull polished or sealed flooring, so you get commercial-grade sanitising without the trade-off of a product that's unpleasant or risky to use around the areas it's protecting.
How it works
SYNTURF is potentiated: a surfactant and wetting agent carry the active ingredient down into the turf pile and backing, into the spots a surface spray never reaches. Once it's there, the active goes to work killing bacteria across a broad spectrum, including E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas, by breaking down their cell membranes. It's a quaternary ammonium compound, the same class of disinfectant widely used in healthcare and food service settings, so the sanitising claim isn't a marketing line. It's how the product is built.
It also carries a fresh pine and eucalyptus fragrance, a genuine characteristic of the formula rather than something layered on to mask odour.
Dilution and use
SYNTURF is sold concentrated, so a little goes a long way:
- Turf and pet areas: dilute 1:10 (100ml per litre of water). A 2L bottle makes 20L of ready-to-use product.
- General floors: dilute at 50ml per litre.
Mix, apply, and let it sit briefly to work before rinsing or allowing the area to air dry, standard practice for any disinfectant-grade sanitiser.
Where it's used
- Synthetic turf and outdoor pet areas, residential and commercial
- Kennels and boarding facilities
- Hotels and pet-friendly accommodation
- Schools, change rooms, and sick bays
- Restaurant kitchens and other commercial floors, sealed or unsealed
If bacteria are the reason an area smells or feels unclean no matter how often it's hosed down, SYNTURF is the product built for that job.
Common questions
Will it strip or dull my floors?
No. SYNTURF is surface-safe on sealed and unsealed floors and won't dull polished flooring, so it's suited to mixed-use commercial spaces without needing a separate product for each surface.
Does it remove pet urine odour and stains, or just kill bacteria?
SYNTURF sanitises and carries a fresh pine and eucalyptus fragrance, but stain and odour removal from urine, faeces, and vomit is a job for the enzymes in smellBgone PLUS+. Many turf installers and facility managers use both: PLUS+ for stains and organic odour compounds, SYNTURF for sanitising and bacteria control.
Is it safe around pets and kids once it's dry?
Yes. Despite being disinfectant-grade, SYNTURF is formulated to be non-toxic and safe around pets, kids, and staff once applied as directed.
Can I buy it in bulk for a commercial site?
Yes. Get in touch for trade and wholesale pricing if you're supplying a facility, managing multiple sites, or recommending it to clients as a turf installer.
Clean is what you can see. Sanitised is what actually matters.
A hose gets the surface looking fine. smellBgone SYNTURF gets to what's living underneath it, without putting anything harsh near the pets, kids, or staff who use the space every day.
