Summary: Health problems caused by micro-organism growth in the form of mold, bacteria and mildew can be prevented by using a special infill in your artificial grass. Envirofill utilizes Microban technology to break apart micro-organism cell function, leaving your law clean and your family healthy.
If you are familiar with the use of fake grass, you may have heard that it can be prone to mold and mildew. You may believe that it’s just part of having material exposed to the outside elements, and regular replacement is just a given cost. You may be concerned about your health and what impact this kind of bacterial growth can have on your kids and pets. Don’t let this dissuade you from choosing the convenience and simplicity of using synthetic grass, because there is a special type of material you can use in the infill to prevent the growth of micro-organisms.
Envirofill is a special artificial lawn infill with inherent qualities that make it safe and affordable to use around children and pets. It is made from naturally occurring silica sand originating right here in the United States. Envirofill is a non-toxic, antimicrobial, eco-friendly, and impact absorbing synthetic turf that is durable and long lasting. Because of its design, its longevity is relatively longer, and the material can be completely reused and recycled when it is worn out. The material is intended to lock out moisture that causes bacterial growth outdoors. Pet waste is not absorbed, as urine is allowed to pass right through, making it fresh and healthy for kids to share with dogs and cats. The material is stain and odor resistant, making it fresher and cleaner for your landscaping needs.
On an unprotected surface, bacteria can double every 20 minutes. That’s a lot of bacteria that can cause health problems for your family and for your pets. Envirofill utilizes Microban technology that penetrates the cell walls of micro-organisms and disrupts their ability to function, grow and reproduce. With this type of dysfunction in the cells of micro-organisms, mold and mildew are unable to flourish. The bad odors caused by mold and bacteria cease to exist, requiring less frequent replacement and saving you money.
Envirofill is also incredibly durable, withstanding attacks from dogs, kids and even the weather. If you live in a hot area such as Austin or Phoenix, Environfill is proven to be 25% cooler than other surfaces, making it safe for bare feet in the summer time. Where watering costs in such hot climates would be staggering, synthetic grass requires virtually no upkeep, no watering, no mowing, and no weeding. Envirofill gives you the lush, green, healthy lawn you have always wanted for your home.
