Bugalugs Artificial Grass Cleaner Lavender

Artificial grass looks clean long after it has stopped smelling clean, which is why a synthetic lawn needs a scheduled clean rather than one that only happens when a visitor notices first.

This is the same style of concentrate as Bugalugs' other artificial grass cleaners — a small amount of cationic and non-ionic surfactants with a lavender fragrance rather than cut grass — diluted 10 parts water to 1 part concentrate to make up to 10 litres of ready-to-use solution, covering up to 100 square metres per litre. Apply with a watering can or spray, work it into the fibres with a stiff brush, leave for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse with water.

• Concentrate: <5% cationic surfactants, <5% non-ionic surfactants, <5% perfumes
• Dilutes 10 parts water to 1 part concentrate, making up to 10 litres
• Covers up to 100m² per litre of concentrate
• Lavender fragrance
• Apply, brush in, leave 15-20 minutes, then rinse
• Suitable for artificial grass, synthetic lawns and bowling greens

Handle the concentrate carefully. Undiluted, Bugalugs' own safety data says this causes skin irritation and serious eye damage and is harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects — gloves, protective clothing and eye and face protection are worth wearing while measuring and applying it, even though a diluted, rinsed and dried lawn is all your dog will actually walk on.

Who it's for: owners of artificial grass or a synthetic lawn who'd rather have a lavender scent left behind than a cut-grass one, dealing with the same build-up of smell under a dog's regular spots.
