I
can't
recommend
Lawn
World
highly
enough!
I
only
wish
I'd
found
them
before
I
went
to
the
expense
of
installing
latex
backed
artificial
turf
from
another
company
two
years
ago.
We
were
assured
that
the
turf
we
bought
was
suitable
for
dogs.
It
is
not!
We
were
told
that
urine
would
drain
away
through
the
holes
in
the
latex
backing
and
furthermore
that
the
rain
would
'wash'
the
turf.
Not
true.
The
urine
may
well
have
drained
through
the
holes
but
what
remained
was
the
most
terrible
smell.
The
rain
did
not
wash
the
grass
and
in
fact
on
some
occasions
made
it
worse.
The
hot
weather
made
it
worse
too
obviously
and
we
became
very
vigilant
and
ensured
that
every
time
our
dog
urinated
on
the
turf
we
would
wash
it
away
with
lots
of
water
and
disinfectant.
That
didn't
work
so
we
tried
all
manners
of
other
remedies,
white
vinegar
by
the
gallon
load,
biological
washing
powder,
disinfectant
and
other
proprietary
products.
All
to
no
avail.
We
simply
couldn't
use
the
garden
in
warm/hot
weather.
I
started
researching
this
issue
on
the
internet
and
came
across
Lawn
World's
website.
I
rang
them
for
advice
and
I
spoke
to
Robbie
who
was
extremely
helpful
and
knowledgeable
on
the
subject;
he
explained
the
science
behind
why
the
latex
backing
retains
the
urine
smell
and
outlined
the
different
backings
and
their
suitability
or
otherwise,
for
use
by
dogs.
Our
turf,
although
it
still
looked
good
after
a
couple
of
yes
-
smelled
so
awful
that
we
were
on
the
point
of
ripping
it
up
and
taking
it
to
the
dump.
Robbie
quickly
despatched
K9
Turf
Cleaner
and
as
soon
as
we
completed
the
treatment
we
were
actually
able
to
use
our
back
garden
again
without
being
assailed
by
the
pungent
smells
of
ammonia.
Amazing.
What
I
discovered
though
was
much
more
worrying
that
in
fact
latex
backed
turf
is
not
suitable
for
dogs,
not
just
because
it
retains
urine
but
because
it
can
be
harmful.
So
if
you're
a
pet
owner
and
interested
in
artificial
turf
please
do
research
this
and
buy
the
polyurethane
backed
turf.
If
you're
in
the
same
position
we
were
in
and
already
have
latex
backed
turf,
rendering
your
garden
unusable,
then
do
speak
to
Lawn
World
who
will
provide
all
the
advice
you
need
and
the
only
product
that
works
and
actually
removes
the
smell!!
Sadly
our
beloved
dog
is
no
longer
with
us
so
although
the
garden
is
now
usable
following
the
treatment
Robbie
recommended
-
it's
rather
empty!
If
we
do
ever
get
another
dog
[too
painful
to
think
about
at
the
moment]
then
we
would
definitely
remove
this
latex
backed
turf
and
replace
with
polyurethane
backed
turf
now
we
are
aware
of
the
facts.
I
was
so
very
impressed
with
the
excellent
service
from
Lawn
World
that
I
had
to
leave
a
review.
Thank
you
