Gear Everything Up
You have to be ready with all the materials, so cleaning can be done swiftly and effectively. Here is your list of equipment needed:
- Leaf blower or rake: These are highly utilized for an efficient blowing of the leaves and other large debris.
- Garden hose: This is where you will use it to clean off dirt, dust, and other remnant debris on your artificial grass.
- Soft-bristle brush or broom: This is best for combing the grass fibers softly without ruining their original form.
- Soap: This may be useful if there are tough stains on the surface that would require soap to remove.
- Buckets: These are useful if soap water is needed for effective spot cleaning.
The above provides a complete set of tools and materials needed to make cleaning easy and efficient.
Rake Debris
Begin with large debris. If you have a lot of leaves, a leaf blower is a great friend to help you clear your leaves and other debris without tearing or damaging the grass. If you want to get dirty, then this will be a perfect task to do by a rake hand gathering leaves carefully. The areas you notice are most often occupied with leaves are the edges and corners.
Hose Over The Area
Now that most of the debris has fallen off, it’s time to rejuvenate your grass. By using your garden hose, wash the artificial turf. This will remove any remaining dust and debris, refreshing the look of your grass so that it appears healthy and attractive again. For those considering synthetic grass in Austin, TX, our artificial turf is designed with superior drainage properties, ensuring that this process is both fast and effective, making maintenance easy and hassle-free.
Turf Brushing
Now is the time to fluff up those grass fibers. With a soft-bristle broom or brush, brush over the turf in a circular motion. In doing so, debris that might be embedded beneath it would get brushed off but also ensure that grass fibers are upright and natural. Brushing regularly is excellent for aesthetic appearance and gives an assurance that your lawn will keep performing at its peak.
Stain Spotting
Dirt or stains are tackled easily by mixing mild detergent with water in a bucket. Getting the job done is applying a little soapy solution with a cloth or sponge to the dirtier areas. After a good cleaning, the area is rinsed using your garden hose to remove all soap traces. And there you have it, sparkling clean artificial grass looking like new.
Check for Weeds
Although our artificial grass is designed to suppress weed growth, keep an eye out for any unwanted visitors. Carefully check for any weeds that have sprouted up through the seams. Pull them out by hand or treat the area with a weed killer specifically made for artificial turf; this will help in maintaining a clean, pristine look.
Final Rinse
At the end of your cleaning session, give the entire area a final rinse with clean water so that soap and other debris will be all washed away. Your artificial grass will thus come out immaculate and ready for use.
Schedule Maintenance
At National Greens, regular cleaning is recommended as part of your outdoor maintenance. More often than not, the leaves and debris will build up, causing your artificial grass to lose its vibrancy throughout the year. Regular care, in addition to making it appear more pleasing, also gives your lawn a life longer than its natural period.
