Proper maintenance makes artificial turfs comfortable and ready for use at any time. To ensure quality synthetic turf, it must be maintained in the right way and as regular as possible. Maintenance makes it ready for use and durable whether it is used in recreation parks, on sport fields or at home.

Artificial turfs come in different qualities depending on personal preference and budget. However, care for any grass will determine how well it appears and how long it serves you. Proper maintenance also improves its appearance. There are user instructions provided by manufacturers. They provide the specific measures that will guarantee a neat surface and long life.

Debris removal ranks high among the maintenance measures for artificial turfs. The debris comes from the environment including sand, soil and falling leaves. There are customized leaf blowers that are effective in eliminating light debris. All organic material should be removed since it supports the growth of weed that may affect drainage.

Artificial grass is highly resistant to stain and is easy to clean with ordinary substances. To avoid permanent stains, identify the right substances and use proper procedures to eliminate the stain. Using water and detergent, you can remove creams, alcohol, blood, soft drink and tomato paste stains from any surface. Other stains like cooking oil, suntan lotions, shoe polish and nail polish require spirits and grease spots removers to eliminate.

Application of weed killer once a year is recommended. The aim is to eliminate any vegetation and moss that is likely to affect the surface. Vegetation may also be pulled off synthetic grass when it appears.

Pets are likely to turn your artificial green into their toilet. While it is easy to remove such a stain, the best thing is to train them to avoid such behavior. The section must be thoroughly cleaned and dried at the earliest opportunity.

The buildup of pollen and dust on grass surfaces is likely to escape your attention. This means that such an area will remain dirty for a long time. The rain usually cleans turfs that are laid in open spaces like sports fields and municipal parks. The most vulnerable areas are indoor spaces and enclosed areas. Hosing such areas will clear the pollen and in the process keep the grass green and inviting.

Special brushes are used to clear debris from grass surfaces. They also play the role of grooming that keeps the threads upright. Avoid using hard-steel brushes because they destroy the turf and reduce its lifespan.

Depending on your area and the activities happening on the grass, bacteria pores are likely to appear. The DIY solution for bacteria on grass is a half-half mixture of water and vinegar. This may be applied using a spray bottle. Depending on the surface area, a hose may be used.

It is easier to prevent than to repair burns on artificial grass. While such sections can be mended, it reduces the quality and appearance of the entire area. Always protect the surface with an inflammable material like metallic sheet when lighting fires either for barbecues or any other activity. Snow and ice can be allowed to melt away or shoveled away with a lot of care.
