Professional Artificial Turf Cleaning

Cleaner turf. Fresher outdoor spaces. A yard you can enjoy again.

Artificial turf is designed to be low maintenance, but it is not maintenance-free.

Over time, pet waste, urine, leaves, dust and other debris can settle into the turf and its infill. This can leave your yard smelling unpleasant, looking flattened and feeling less inviting.

Rowan Home Services provides professional artificial turf cleaning designed to remove buildup, reduce odors and restore the appearance of your turf.

Whether you have pets, shedding trees or turf that simply needs a refresh, we make it easier to keep your outdoor space clean, comfortable and ready to enjoy.

Your Turf Should Look & Smell Clean

Artificial grass has become increasingly popular throughout Arizona because it stays green, requires less water and eliminates the need to mow, reseed or maintain a traditional lawn.

However, artificial turf does not naturally break down pet waste, rinse away urine or push debris back into the soil.

Without regular cleaning, your turf can collect:

  • Pet hair and waste residue
  • Urine and ammonia odors
  • Leaves, twigs and plant debris
  • Dust and dirt
  • Flattened turf fibers
  • Compacted or displaced infill
  • Bacteria and organic buildup

Rowan's turf-cleaning service addresses the areas that routine rinsing and raking often miss.

Professional Turf Cleaning for Homes With Pets

Artificial turf is convenient for pet owners, but it can quickly begin to hold onto unpleasant odors.

Pet urine can drain beneath the surface while odor-causing residue remains trapped within the turf fibers and infill. Simply spraying the area with water may temporarily dilute the smell without fully treating its source.

Our turf-cleaning process removes loose debris and applies an odor-treatment solution designed specifically for artificial grass and pet areas.

The result is a cleaner, fresher outdoor space for your household and pets.

What Is Included in Our Turf-Cleaning Service?

Rowan uses specialized equipment and a detailed process to clean, deodorize and refresh artificial turf.

01

DEBRIS REMOVAL

Before cleaning begins, visible pet waste must be removed from the turf. Our team then uses a commercial turf vacuum to collect loose debris — leaves, twigs, pet hair, dust, small plant material and other loose buildup. Unlike a standard household vacuum, this equipment is designed specifically for use on artificial turf.

02

TURF DEODORIZING AND WASHING

After vacuuming, we apply a specialized turf-cleaning treatment to help address urine residue and persistent pet odors. The treatment is distributed across the turf so it can reach the fibers and infill where odor-causing buildup often collects.

03

POWER BRUSHING

We use a professional power brush to lift turf fibers that have become flattened from foot traffic, pets, furniture or normal use. The rotating brush helps restore the upright appearance of turf blades, fluff compacted areas, redistribute existing infill, improve the overall appearance of the lawn and help the turf feel fuller underfoot.

04

INFILL ASSESSMENT

Artificial turf relies on infill to help support its fibers, improve drainage and create a more natural feel. If your turf has lost infill or continues to flatten after brushing, we can evaluate whether additional material may be beneficial. Depending on the needs of the property, Rowan may recommend standard turf infill or a pet-focused infill designed to support drainage and odor control.

Why Professional Turf Cleaning Matters

Reduce Lingering Pet Odors

Specialized turf treatments help address the odor-causing residue that ordinary rinsing can leave behind.

Remove Trapped Debris

A turf vacuum reaches loose material that can be difficult to remove with a rake, broom or leaf blower.

Restore Flattened Turf

Power brushing lifts matted fibers and helps your artificial grass look fuller and more natural.

Support Better Drainage

Removing debris and maintaining appropriate infill can help water and pet urine move more effectively through the turf system.

Protect Your Investment

Regular professional cleaning can help preserve the appearance, comfort and usability of your artificial lawn.

Make Your Yard More Enjoyable

Clean, refreshed turf creates a more welcoming area for children, pets, guests and everyday outdoor living.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does professional artificial turf cleaning include?

Rowan's artificial turf-cleaning service may include removing loose debris with a turf vacuum, applying a specialized deodorizing treatment, power brushing the turf fibers and assessing whether the lawn needs additional infill.

Does artificial turf need to be professionally cleaned?

Yes. Artificial turf does not naturally break down organic waste or clean itself like living grass and soil. Professional cleaning helps remove debris, reduce odors, lift flattened fibers and maintain the appearance of the turf.

Can turf cleaning help with dog urine smells?

Professional turf cleaning can help reduce urine odors by treating residue trapped within the turf fibers and infill. Results can depend on the condition of the turf, drainage system, number of pets and length of time the odor has been present.

Do I need to remove pet waste before the appointment?

Yes. Solid pet waste should be picked up before Rowan begins vacuuming and cleaning the turf.

Why does artificial turf smell after dogs use it?

Pet urine can pass through the turf while odor-causing residue remains within the fibers, infill or drainage base. Heat can make these odors more noticeable, especially during Arizona summers.

Will you vacuum my artificial turf?

Yes. Rowan uses a commercial vacuum designed for artificial turf to remove loose leaves, pet hair, dust, twigs and other surface debris.

What does power brushing do?

Power brushing lifts flattened artificial grass blades, loosens compacted areas and helps redistribute infill. This can make the turf look fuller, more upright and more natural.

What is artificial turf infill?

Infill is the granular material placed between artificial turf blades. It helps support the fibers, improve stability, promote drainage and create a more natural feel underfoot.

Can you add more turf infill?

When needed, Rowan can assess the existing infill and recommend an appropriate option. The type and amount of infill required depend on the turf system, condition of the lawn and whether pets regularly use the space.

How often should turf be cleaned?

Many homeowners benefit from professional turf cleaning every three months. Homes with several pets, heavy use or significant tree debris may need more frequent service.

Is turf cleaning only for pet owners?

No. Pet owners often benefit most because of urine odors and pet hair, but turf cleaning is also helpful for lawns affected by leaves, dust, foot traffic, flattened fibers and seasonal debris.

Can turf cleaning be combined with other Rowan services?

Yes. Turf cleaning may be bundled with qualifying Rowan services, including solar panel cleaning, window cleaning, paver cleaning and other exterior home-maintenance solutions.
