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.

Water Conservation: A Hidden Win

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.
