Our puppies have been trained to use a litter box indoors. Are now adapting to going outside. The grass mat worked well for pooping. I haven't seen any urine on it yet. It's convenient to clean with a hose. I'm planning to get another one, for use, in the trays, which have drainage holes and need to be placed on something that can catch urine.
Great question! This response will contain a lot of information, so let’s break it down into two sections, starting with the “clean” factor regarding different types of plastics. Hypothetically, let’s assume that the product was made of 100% recycled materials. Depending on how the materials are re-processed, post-consumer is usually the least “clean” when compared to virgin or actual plastic because of the variability of the feedstock. Even with blending, which adds overall strength, neither post-consumer nor post-industrial recycled materials can ever achieve 100% of mechanical properties of virgin materials. The degradation of these properties has a direct effect on safety factors and long term performance measures such as fatigue. This is not to say recycled plastics cannot be used in various applications, but does explain why recycled materials often have lower safety ratings. In other words, theoretically, you could have a 100% recycled material product. However, this product would never pass safety tests due to how weak the material would be. At GST, while we do care about the environment, safety is ALWAYS a top priority, as can be seen on our lead and UV testing results.

Well, you can cut the artificial grass with regular scissors, but keep in mind that you will need a sharp and strong pair of scissors. You basically will need to cut through two layers of the PP cloth along with a layer of PU glue, so a bit heavy duty and sharp pair of scissors will work just fine. I am not sure about those "regular" office type of scissors though.

No, absolutely not! You never want to put artificial grass in a washing machine to clean it.

Saving water is one of the main benefits of artificial grass over natural grass: on average more than 60% of a household’s water usage is for natural lawns, so having artificial turf you will save a lot of money on your water bill. Lawn mowers produce air pollution which is worse than cars, installing artificial grass will eliminate the use of lawn mowers and benefit air quality. Natural grass requires pesticides and chemicals to maintain which can contaminate soil and underground water, artificial grass will certainly eliminate that possibility. Our artificial grass products are free of any harmful chemicals and PFAS (forever chemicals), safe for human and pets.
