We decided to get this turf for our dog since we have a balcony, in our New York City apartment. He enjoys soaking up the sun on it. We made some tiny cuts in the turf using a box cutter to make it convenient for him to do his business there well. Cleaning it is a breeze. Spray it with a garden hose or let a good rain shower take care of it. It's simple to unroll cut with a box cutter and adds a nice touch, to the space.
