Silica Sand:
Silica sand is a natural infill option that provides stability and helps support the artificial grass blades.
It’s relatively affordable and effective at maintaining the turf’s structure.
While it aids drainage, it doesn’t have any odor-control properties.
Zeolite:
Zeolite is a natural volcanic mineral infill that has odor-absorbing properties. It can help reduce pet odors associated with urine.
Zeolite provides good drainage, is non-toxic, and is environmentally friendly.
Rubber Infill:
Rubber infill is commonly used in sports fields and playgrounds. While it can be suitable for pets, it may not provide the best odor control.
It’s soft underfoot and can provide additional cushioning, making it comfortable for pets.
Organic Infill:
Organic infills, such as cork or coconut husk, are environmentally friendly options. They provide good drainage and can help control odors.
However, organic infills may break down over time and may require periodic replenishment.
Baking Soda:
Baking soda can be sprinkled on the artificial grass as an infill to help neutralize pet odors. While not a traditional infill material, it’s a cost-effective option for odor control.
Antimicrobial Infill:
Some artificial grass infills are treated with antimicrobial agents to help prevent the growth of bacteria and reduce odors.
No Infill:
Some pet-friendly artificial grass products are designed to be used without infill. These products typically have a porous backing for good drainage and can be easier to clean.
