Maintaining Your Artificial Turf Year-Round
When you have artificial grass, it’s tempting to think that you don’t need to do any maintenance. After all, it’s not like real grass! But if you want your synthetic turf to look its best year-round and stay in top condition, then regular maintenance is absolutely essential. Luckily, maintaining an artificial lawn isn’t difficult or time-consuming at all: below we’ll show you some of the most effective ways for keeping your synthetic turf looking good as new!
Cleaning
As with most things, it is best to prevent problems rather than deal with them after the fact. The best way to do this is by using a lawn leaf blower regularly on your artificial grass to remove debris and dust.If you don’t own a leaf blower you can use a rake with plastic bristles. Avoid metal rakes as they may damage the fibers. Hosing down your artificial turf can also remove any dirt and debris. Avoid using high-pressure water as it may blow out the infill in your artificial turf. If you have pets, remember to pick up all waste to prevent any mold or bacteria from growing.
Deodorizing
There are several commercial products on the market that are specifically designed to remove odors from artificial turf. These products can be sprayed directly on the turf and left to work their magic. These products can be found at your local home improvement store or online. Another option is to use a mixture of water and vinegar. Vinegar is a natural deodorizer and is used to remove orders from artificial turf. Mix equal parts of water and vinegar in a bottle, and apply the mixture to the turf.
Remove Weeds
There is a possibility that weeds may grow in artificial turf, but weeds are very easy to remove if they are removed immediately. To get rid of weeds, you can either pull them by hand or spray them with a pet-friendly weed killer. A spot test should be performed on a small area of your turf and you should wait one day to see if any stains appear.
With these simple maintenance tips, you can keep your artificial grass smelling fresh and looking beautiful all year long.
