Simple Green Outdoor Odor Eliminator for Pets, Dogs, 1 gallon Refill - Ideal for Artificial Lawns & Patio, Milky White

NEW IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!! DO NOT use Simple Solution Stain and Odor Remover in lieu of this product as stated in my last update. Use this Simple Green Product! For months we had bouts off and on of diarrhea and vomiting. Nothing serious, and we kept chalking it up to nerves with the training dogs since it was so inconsistent and would last only a couple of days. But still it was weird since it was becoming more regular. Turns out as the weather warmed up we were spraying the yard more often, sometimes shortly before the dogs went out in the evening. Once session it was especially bad and we took a couple of dogs to the vet. They tested negative with parasites and there was no indication of bacteria or a virus and the vet suggested that they had eaten something. DING DING DING!! We actually worked it out that the vomiting and diarrhea seems to always start the day after we sprayed the yard, then it would clear up, then we'd spray the yard again and it came back. We didn't keep written records or anything, but there seemed to be a rough pattern. We immediately stopped using Simple Solution and went back to Simple Green and BAM! No more diarrhea and vomiting. I still recommend Simple Solution for indoor use, but it MUST be dry before letting your dog near it. For outdoor use stick with this product. To compensate for it not being as effective, just be sure to use it before the pee smell is too bad. If we wait too long and the smell is strong we have to use it for 2-4 days to get back up to speed. So it's more important to use it on a schedule. We use it 1-2 times per week, and up to 3-4 times a week when it's hot. Keep in mind we have 8 dogs at a time peeing on it. And make sure you're using lots of water! Also, we only use it after all play time is done at night so it has all night to dry, just to be safe, even though we've never had this product cause health problems. In fact, late one night I had to give a puppy an extra potty break. We had already sprayed the yard and there was even a shallow puddle of solution and water, which of course he ran straight over and started licking! I got him away as fast as I could, but he got a few licks in. We watched him carefully the next day. No illness at all! So now we are very comfortable with this product and can use it with confidence. UPDATE: After several months - and very hot summer - of use, I have decided that the Simple Solution Stain and Odor Remover works better than this one. Really I would venture to say that it helps to alternate. Maybe they each kill different strains of odor-causing bacteria. If you aren't having great results, be sure to check out Simple Solution, even though it's labeled as an indoor product. The downside to that one, though, is that it has a stronger smell. I do love how this Simple Green one as no discernible odor of it's own. It still works very well and I'll leave my rating at 5 stars since I think I'm really trying to achieve the impossible (perfectly stink-free lawn) and I'm happy to have any help at all! Original Review: Works great on our artificial lawn. We live in Southern California and keep dogs at our home for training. We'll have up to 8 dogs pottying on about 1000 square feet of fake grass for two weeks at a time and it gets STINKY. We fill a hose-attached pesticide sprayer with this stuff and douse the yard. The smell is completely eliminated. In the summer we use this 1-2 times a week. There is then no smell for at least a day or two and then a very mild stink for up to a week before we have to apply it again. In the winter we use this only once every 3-4 weeks. There is no smell for about a week and then a tolerable smell for a couple more weeks. Be sure to spray this on the yard AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN. The UV rays will kill the living enzymes and it won't work. I tried it. It won't even work on a cloudy day. Also, be sure to use a generous amount of water. Don't just spritz the grass, give it a good soak. We use about 16 oz for our 1000 square foot yard, but it takes about 15 minutes to apply it with a hose sprayer since we use a lot of water. We've experimented many different volumes of cleaner and water and this combo works well for us.

I have purchased this product 5 times because it has become a staple for maintaining our outdoor space. We use it on the concrete deck around our home where our pets spend time, and it has made a noticeable difference in helping control lingering odors. I like that it helps eliminate odors rather than simply covering them up with a strong fragrance. The scent is noticeable when first applied but fades and does not leave the area smelling overpowering. After using this product consistently, I have found it to be one of the few outdoor odor products that I continue to repurchase. If you have pets and are looking for a way to keep outdoor concrete areas smelling fresher, this is definitely worth trying.

After fostering three puppies, our brick patio had plenty of potty accidents during playtime. They didn’t live on the patio, but there were enough accidents to really test this cleaner. It did a great job removing the odors and stains, and the patio smells fresh again. I was impressed with how well it worked and would definitely buy it again.

This product works well! I only give it 4 stars because we have not been able to completely eliminate the urine smell. Unfortunately we live in Las Vegas were it is over 100 degrees so it exasperates the smell. I like that it is safe for my puppy and our environment! Worked best over all the products tried!👍

It doesn't really work well outdoors. I'm not saying it is a bad product., It's not. I delute it and use it indoors. I do NOT spray it on furniture or carpet, I do not believe it will fair well at all. It works just fine on linoleum and tile floors and the dog kennel's pee tray trap.

Helps out for the Spring and Summer pet odors. If you have male dogs who pee in only a couple places you know what I'm talking about. I put this on after watering with a sprinkler to help it settle in better.

Product smells great, but did not remove the pet odor from my artificial grass, ended up buying a different product.

My dog got really old and she is no longer with us and passed away but the last summer of her life she couldn’t get off the deck. She was too old so she had to pee and poop on our wooden deck. This did help a lot trying to keep the smell down. I put a fake turf down and then we just hose it off. I would spray it with this and hose it off I just never thought to pick up the turf in a lot of the smell is there because of the fake turf never really got cleaned when she passed away I rolled up all the turf to throw it away and holy cow how much poop and stuff was underneath there so this works but make sure you’re not trying to just cover up a problem like I was an investigate a little more and I could’ve had a much better Situation but this stuff did work and the wood does not have any odor to it and it’s been a year now that my dog has passed and when my dog was younger, I used this in the yard during August sometimes it wouldn’t rain and the urine smell would get a little too much so I would spray this in the yard not for myself or for my dog, but for my neighbors so they didn’t have to smell it and it worked wonders

Great stuff, eliminates outdoor pet odours. Expensive but does an excellent job.

Buenísimo, quita olores del césped y super práctico de poner, funcional, aunque algo caro el precio.

Efficace pour les odeurs dans le jardin

My dogs do their business on a couple of squares of artificial grass and I try to pick up after them every day. It's become habit to spray this Simple Green Odor Eliminator afterwards and it leaves a nice smell. I'll hose down the area once a week, to keep it smelling clean. This is a good purchase.

Good but not the best
