The Science Behind Dozzle: Smarter Water Use, Foam, and Enzymes
Why Smarter Turf Cleaning Requires Less Water, Better Chemistry, No Hose, and Enzymes Born and Raised in the Desert

Introduction: Odor on Artificial Turf Is a Science Problem — Not Just a Smell Problem
Artificial turf is a dream for homeowners: low maintenance, water-saving, always green. But when dogs enter the equation, odor becomes a recurring complaint. The real issue? Most people approach turf cleaning with old-school solutions (like hose sprayers) that weren’t built to deal with urine at a molecular level.
The Dozzle System wasn’t just designed to be easier—it was designed to be smarter. And it’s rooted in real science. Here’s how foam, enzymes, and daily usability combine to create a more effective turf cleaning solution—and how it compares to traditional methods.
FoamZyme in action: A thick, clinging foam coats turf and hardscape to break down odors and organic residue—no runoff, no hose required.
Enzymes: The Real Odor Eliminators
Most pet cleaning sprays rely on enzymes—and for good reason. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the breakdown of organic waste. When your dog pees on turf, it leaves behind urea and uric acid crystals. These compounds linger in the turf’s infill and underlayment, especially during warm weather.
How Enzymes Work:
Target and break down urea and uric acid compounds
Convert waste into odorless, harmless molecules
Prevent build-up that leads to chronic stink
“Enzyme cleaners don’t mask odors—they eliminate them at the source.”
Dozzle uses a proprietary blend of Bacillus strains from Genesis Biosciences (Evogen MEC-B). These strains were selected because they’re highly effective in soil-like environments, thrive in turf conditions, and continue working as long as moisture is present.
Why Foam Matters More Than You Think
Here’s where most turf cleaners fall apart: they spray, they drip, they dry—before the enzymes get to do their job.
What Foam Does Better:
Clings to turf: No instant runoff like water sprays
Stays active longer: 10–15 minutes of dwell time
Visual feedback: You can see exactly where it’s been sprayed
Gentle delivery: No pressure or overspray into surrounding plants
“Foam grips. Water drips.”
By suspending enzymes in a thick, stable foam layer, the Dozzle System maximizes contact time. More time = more breakdown = better odor control.
The Problem with Hose-End Sprayers
Hose sprayers have been around since the 1950s. They were made for pesticides and fertilizers—not dog urine. And they have major flaws when it comes to odor control:
Require 4–5 gallons per application
Poor control over where product goes
Rely on pressure to distribute—not precision
Enzyme solution runs off in seconds
It’s all water, no brains. And it wastes time, effort, and utility bills.
Dozzle’s system uses less than 1 gallon per treatment compared to traditional hose sprayers that often use 4–5 gallons just to cover the same area. That’s:
4x water savings
No hoses needed
No runoff or mud messes
Ideal for drought-prone or water-conscious households
“Cleaning turf shouldn’t require wasting real water on fake grass.”
Foam doesn’t just clean better—it aligns with turf’s purpose: low-maintenance, eco-friendly lawn replacement.
Safe Ingredients. Safe Results.
The Dozzle System was formulated to be used daily around:
Dogs
Kids
Plants
Bare feet
What’s in FoamZyme:
Water - Good ole’ H20
Coco Betaine – A coconut-derived foaming agent found in baby shampoo
Evogen MEC-B Enzymes – Natural Bacillus strains safe for soil, pets, and humans
What we purposefully left out:
❌ No artificial fragrances
❌ No ammonia or bleach
❌ No alcohols or solvents
Why This Matters:
No risk to turf color or texture
No skin irritation for paws or humans
No chemical runoff into nearby planters or gardens
Summary: Why the Dozzle System Works
It’s not about gimmicks. It’s science:
Enzymes eliminate odors by breaking down urine compounds at the source
Foam ensures those enzymes stay active longer
Low water usage supports the turf’s low-maintenance promise
Safe ingredients give peace of mind to families and landscapers
This is why we built Dozzle—not to spray harder, but to clean smarter.
Whether you’re a homeowner, a turf installer, or a landscaper—this is how turf cleaning finally catches up with turf living.
