Is Deodorising Worth Adding to Dog Poo Removal?

Is deodorising worth adding to dog poo removal?

Deodorising helps reduce lingering smells in areas where dogs spend a lot of time, such as patios, dog runs, artificial turf or high-use lawn areas. It can be added to selected recurring plans.

What the deodorising spray does

The spray used by Scoop n Go is an enzyme-based formula. Enzymes break down the organic matter and bacteria responsible for odour — rather than simply masking the smell with fragrance.

This means the effect lasts longer than a surface spray and addresses the cause of the odour rather than covering it temporarily.

When it makes the biggest difference

Deodorising tends to have the most noticeable impact in these situations:

• Artificial turf — Synthetic grass holds odour more than natural grass because liquid can pool and bacteria can build up in the fibres.
• Pavers and concrete — Hard surfaces trap organic residue in gaps and texture.
• Sheltered areas — Dog houses, covered patios and enclosed spaces do not dry out as well as open yard areas, which allows odour to concentrate.
• Small or compact yards — Less airflow means smell accumulates rather than dispersing.
• High-use dog runs — Areas dogs return to repeatedly accumulate residual odour quickly.

Is it needed for every yard?

No. Many clients with larger open yards and natural grass find that regular waste removal alone is enough. Deodorising is most useful where odour has been a persistent issue despite regular clean-ups.

If you are unsure whether it would help, request a quote and describe your yard setup — we can advise based on experience.
