How to Clean Pet Urine From Concrete or Pavers

We get all sorts of calls from customers seeking advice when it comes to pet urine. But the best one we've had was the pet sheep peeing on the paved outdoor area.

The smell was so bad the customer was seriously contemplating getting rid of their pet sheep!

The smell of urine, regardless of what produces it, can be overwhelming.

Any urine left to evaporate will ultimately end up as urea crystals which are then insoluble. Heat, humidity and even water can make these suckers stink! A concrete patio or courtyard is even more likely to hold onto that urine smell as it is very porous, allowing the urine to soak in deeply. So here’s what you need to clean pet urine from pavers and get rid of the urine odour:

1. A hose

2. A scrubbing brush or stiff garden broom

3. TurFresh Concentrated Pet Urine Odour Eliminator

1. HOSE AWAY pet urine

The first thing you should do if you notice a urine puddle or have seen your pet urinate on the concrete or tiles, is to use a hose to flush the liquid away.

Getting rid of urine before it evaporates goes a long way to eliminating urine odour build up.

2. Apply TurFresh Enzyme Cleaner

When pet urine evaporates, it turns into odour-causing urea crystals that are insoluble in water. The only solution to break down urea crystals is an enzyme based cleaner.

TurFresh super concentrated Pet Urine Odour Eliminator cleaner eliminates urine odour with a powerful probiotic enzyme formula that breaks down and removes the urea permanently.

Use TurFresh in the evening after sunset when the area is as cool as it can be.

Connect to your garden hose and apply TurFresh enzyme cleaner on all concrete, pavers, pebbles, other hard surfaces or artificial grass, focusing on areas that may have been used more often for toileting.

For stubborn odour areas, use a scrubbing brush or stiff garden brush to agitate the cleaner on the surface.

Allow the area to dry naturally overnight.

Lightly wet the pavers, concrete or hard surfaces again in the morning with the hose to keep the natural enzyme active as long as possible.

The process may need to be repeated to be sure the cleaner reaches all the way to where urine has previously settled.

3. Establish a regular cleaning regime

Keep in mind that if your pet continues to use the area and urinate daily, the urine odour will accumulate once more.

Cleaning pet urine from pavers or concrete every two weeks in the hot months and only once a month during the cooler months will help prevent that unpleasant odour from accumulating.

And we are pleased to say, that after following this process, our wonderful pet sheep owners were happily keeping their sheep!
