Picking up dog poop is important — but it doesn’t end there. Sanitizing after dog poop cleanup is the final step. After every visible pile is gone, bacteria and odor-causing germs can still linger on the surface of your yard. That’s why we don’t stop at scooping. At Fur-ever Spotless Yards, we take it one step further with a safe and effective sanitation spray after every visit.
Here’s why disinfecting your yard matters — and what we use to get it done.
⚡️ 1. Scooping Removes the Waste, Not the Bacteria
Even with a thorough cleanup, microscopic bacteria can stay behind in the grass and soil. This includes germs like:
- E. coli
- Salmonella
- Campylobacter
- Roundworm and hookworm eggs
These invisible threats can be picked up by paws, shoes, or kids playing in the yard. According to the CDC, dog waste can contain a range of parasites and bacteria that pose risks to both pets and humans.
2. Bacteria Can Spread Beyond the Poop Pile
When it rains, leftover bacteria can wash across the lawn and into garden beds, patios, and sidewalks. If your dog has had any digestive issues or parasites, this risk is even higher. Sanitizing kills those lingering germs before they can spread. The EPA warns that pet waste left on the ground can wash into water sources and contribute to pollution and illness.
3. We Use Pet-Safe, Yard-Safe Disinfectants
We spray with trusted products that are safe for both pets and plants:
- Wysiwash: Kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses using a mild, chlorine-based system
- 256 Petology Disinfectant: Used on tools and equipment between yards to prevent cross-contamination
No bleach. No harsh chemicals. Just proven, effective protection.
4. Peace of Mind for You and Your Pets
Your yard is where your pets play, your kids explore, and your guests hang out. Sanitizing ensures it’s not just poop-free, but germ-free too.
