Artificial Grass Maintenance

Artificial Grass Maintenance relies on rainfall as a natural, synthetic grass cleanser. In areas where rainfall is scarce, an occasional water flush is beneficial to cleanse the turf. For care and maintenance of lightly soiled areas, it may be necessary to sponge with a five percent solution of low suds household detergent in hot water followed by thorough rinsing with hot water.

For heavily soiled areas, repeat procedure for lightly soiled areas follows with sponge mopping using a three percent solution of household ammonia in hot water followed by thorough rinsing with hot water.

Artificial Grass Maintenance with Animal waste:

Artificial grass is safe for pets, and cleaning up their solid waste is just as easy as on real grass. So plastic bags and pooper scoopers work just fine! Following the pickup, hose down the target area of the turf. Also, weekly rinsing will help your lawn smell fresh and odor-free. We also offer Turf Fresh and Zeolite Max to eliminate further any unpleasant odors caused by pets.

Artificial Grass Maintenance and Brushing:

Brushing is directly related to the amount of foot traffic you have in your artificial grass area. Matting of fibers may occur in high foot traffic areas, especially if fibers have become soiled with dirt and other airborne pollutants.

Cross Brushing the turf can help restore the appearance of artificial grass. “Cross brushing” means brushing against the grain of the synthetic grass fibers. By doing this periodically, the fibers are fluffed up. Use an artificial turf bristle brush. Never use a brush with metal or wire bristles as this will damage the synthetic turf fibers.

Please remember that heavier traffic areas may appear different than other sectors that do not see heavy traffic. We highly recommended brushing as a significant aspect of artificial grass maintenance. Cross brushing will ensure the full life of Green-R Turf Artificial Grass.
