When it comes to garden design, an artificial lawn might seem like a saviour. With no need for mowing the grass, pulling up weeds or worrying about mud and damage, it can be a great fix for gardens that are well used.

But one downside to a fake lawn is that you still need to do some maintenance to keep it clean, especially if you have pets. You might have noticed it starts to smell if your pet regularly goes to the toilet on it – which is why pet owners are racing to snap up the Bugalugs Artificial Grass Cleaner after it got slashed in Amazon’s early Spring Sale.

Usually priced at £15.98, you can now snap it up for £14.38 thanks to the early offer. You can also choose from either fresh cut grass or lavender scent, helping replace any unpleasant smells that happen when they use your grass as their bathroom.

The Artificial Grass Cleaner is completely safe to be used around pets, so you don’t need to worry about keeping them off the grass or your four legged friends being exposed to harsh chemicals. However it’s still effective, acting as a three-in-one disinfectant, deodoriser and cleaner with instant results.

It gets rid of harsh bacteria and deep stains that may have settled into your artificial grass, and helps eliminate any odours. Although the container only houses one litre of solution, its concentration levels mean that it actually makes up 10 litres – all you need to do is add water.

It’s fast acting, and dries within just 15 minutes so your garden can be clean and ready to go in no time. You just need to mix up the Bugalugs Artificial Grass Cleaner with water and use a watering can to apply it evenly to the affected areas.

Then you just work it into the lawn with a stiff brush, before rinsing it away with cold water. As well as working on artificial grass, you can also use it on patios, kennels, astroturf and tennis courts to keep all your outdoor spaces clean and smelling fresh.

You can also find great alternatives at B&Q, where the Pro-Kleen Artificial Grass Cleaner is £9.95 for one litre, which is pet friendly and safe to use around both dogs and children. You can also make a great saving on the Dirtbusters Pet Pro Artificial Grass Cleaner which is now £8.99 down from £9.99 for one litre, or £18.99 for five litres.
