Hi there
I am going to be moving to a house with a yard in a few months and was wondering what you all use for cleaning the yard. I will be taking my dogs out regular but there will be times when they do go in the yard. Im gonna get an outside tap/hose installed but is there anything else to make it smell fresh and also dog friendly
Thanks for any suggestions
L :)

    I've just bought 4 X 5litres of FreshPet disinfectant cleaner for £20.99 delivered, via Amazon, yet one container costs £12.99.


    The floral perfume is lovely;just like a flower shop , but their are lots of scents to choose. I also have baby powder (reminds me of Simple solution, which is good for carpets), lavender and pine.

    To be honest, I'd discourage them from using the yard. I only have a small yard and even when I sluiced it down with water straight away after each wee it got minging fairly quickly.
    Current dog won't toilet in the yard, so I just take him down the road instead. It's not that much more hassle.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Surely it's better to clean up wee on your own premises than inflict the smell on someone else.

    My very small yard vs several huge patches of wasteland/grassy bits at the bottom of the road? It's not like I'm letting him wee up other people's gate posts or outside their houses. So not an issue, as far as I'm concerned.
