FAQ - GrassMate PREMIUM

How effective is GrassMate PREMIUM at controlling pet odors using Ultra-Fresh technology?

Ammonia is a primary contributor to pet odors — particularly in dog urine. It’s a natural waste product in urine that, over time, breaks down and releases a strong, unpleasant smell. This released odor becomes even more intense when combined with bacteria, uric acid, and other substances commonly found in pet urine.

That’s where Techniseal’s GrassMate PREMIUM infill sand stands out.

This premium version features a special coating embedded with Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial product protection, designed to inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and stain & odor causing bacteria. It is formulated to be both safe and effective for pets, making it an excellent choice for pet-friendly areas — especially where artificial turf is frequently used by dogs and cats.

Why is GrassMate PREMIUM effective at controlling pet odors?

Independent lab testing — using a standardized method to assess odor reduction — has shown a 99% reduction in ammonia produced by bacteria on treated GrassMate PREMIUM infill sand. This demonstrates how antibacterial treatments significantly reduce the intensity of bacterial odors, which are a key component of pet-related smells in artificial turf.

Additional benefits:

Beyond odor control, GrassMate PREMIUM infill sand offers other benefits.  It provides better turf support, prevents surface compaction, and improves drainage, which all contribute to a more comfortable and hygienic outdoor environment for pets.
