How to clean artificial grass

Artificial grass can be a good idea if we don’t hold that much water or space available. It is also perfect for those people who are more careless when it comes to lawn maintenance. However, although artificial, they require essential maintenance and cleaning care to have their appearance and maintain their best conditions for as long as possible. Here we will give you some tips on how to clean artificial grass.

 4 How to clean artificial grass with different elements

Remember that to extend your lawn’s life and improve its appearance, you must follow some maintenance tips. Learning how to clean your artificial grass regularly is essential to giving it the care it needs. One of the main points when cleaning is to do it opposite to the direction of the fibres. In this way, we will pick them up and clean up all the organic matter deposited when it was not cleaned. We will also reposition the silica sand.

Watering artificial grass once or twice a month is sufficient. This will help us keep it clean, although we can make the watering more frequent during the summer. This is necessary because the temperature can drop, and moisture can settle on the silica sand. Therefore, it is possible to maintain the usual freshness of a natural herb, but it is not. Watering is not recommended if temperatures are below freezing, as ice can and will wear down the latex base over the years.

Watering the lawn from time to time will be cooler, ensuring that the colour properties are maintained for longer. You will also prevent stains from penetrating and extend the life of the artificial grass. In the long term, it is advisable to apply a sanitising perfume to prevent insects from settling. Some bacteria start to relax on our lawns, and we can avoid them with fragrance.

Another aspect of learning how to clean artificial grass is replenishing it with silica sand. We must remember that with the wind from the lawn traffic, the sand can accumulate in a place, move it or reduce its amount. Therefore, it is advisable to replace it from time to time. Thanks to the replacement of silica sand, we can maintain a good level of vertical grass. Before you start, you need to brush and wet the entire surface. Then we will apply the new sand to fill the empty gaps and take care of the load level, which must be fair.

How to clean Artificial Grass

We’ll be looking for the perfect kit to learn how to clean artificial grass. For your lawn to always be green and beautiful to look at, it is necessary to have a package with the required products. The pack should have sanitising fragrances and a stiff brush.

If containment nets have been placed in the plant to prevent weeds from emerging, there is no problem or concern. A herbicide can be sprayed on the surface from time to time to kill the few weeds that may grow. It is not advisable to occasionally park your car on the grass. And frequently turning off your car’s fluids can damage and discolour your lawn due to its chemical content. Oil, gasoline and other vehicle components can cause complete damage to our lawn.

The garden furniture must not destroy the lawn either. Due to the high recovery and flexibility of the fibres, a single brushing is enough to maintain overall cleanliness. We must be careful not to pull the furniture above the lawn because it can jump the wires and leave some areas with bald spots. It is advisable to pick up the table and not drag it or use pegs or rugs to help us remove it so as not to damage this lawn.

Tips for not damaging it

Watch out for grills. Although it is fire resistant and will not learn in flames, it is true that at 80 degrees, it starts to melt. This means that if an arm falls on the grass, it won’t cause a fire, so it’s not dangerous, but it will cause a burn in the area where it fell. To avoid this type of situation, leaving a space that does not have grass to place the grill is advisable. You can also put some material on your lawn and grill to protect it. This material can be stone slabs or fire-retardant carpets.

Artificial grass gets dirty for the following reasons:

Particles of dust and dirt fall as much by dragging other houses as ours.

Organic food or leftovers. If we frequently eat in our garden, we risk staining our artificial grass more.

Pet droppings. It is challenging to control pets in the garden and prevent them from relieving themselves. In this case, depending on the type of droppings, we can find some that do more damage than others.

How to clean artificial grass with different elements

The main elements for cleaning artificial grass are:

Soap and water: The perfect solution for organic and mobility stains. If you want a pet and have peed on the artificial grass, you can apply soap and water to remove the odour.

Vacuum: Vacuuming is also an excellent option to remove dust and sediment that settles. It is recommended that the strength is not very high to prevent shedding and damage to the hair.

Water and bleach: Among these solutions, we recommend only for difficult-to-clean stains. These products are solid and can damage if not used wisely. When using water and ammonia, it is essential to cut back on the abundant water. That way, the mixture won’t discolour the lawn.

Sanitising perfume: it is one of the easiest and fastest solutions. It is an ideal product if you have children and pets, as it leaves a smell like freshly cut grass.

I have had problems with my turf for the last 4 years and been laid three times found no solution but to look at the option of astroturf. Having 5-6 different surveys, Saygrass was the most consultive understanding and understanding of my concerns having two dogs. From completing the survey I managed to receive a quote within 15 minutes. After booking installation was complete in 2 weeks. The team were friendly experienced knowledgeable and complete the job in less than half a day. There was no mess and advised me on maintenance and aftercare. Can 100% highly recommend Saygrass, fantastic service .

Saygrass did a great job in my garden at a good price. Elly provided the best customer service - she was available to help throughout the entire process. I would recommend being present from start to finish to ensure things are being done exactly to your liking as there were a couple of things I wished were done a little differently - but nothing that has impinged on my enjoyment of the garden. I would use this company again.

I've only used the service for a free quote for a start and I very certainly will recommend it. I chanced on to the site while I was surfing the net for an artisan service. Now, I can gauge if I'm offered value for my money. More people need to know about this type of service. And also, the rep that came over to guage the job was very professional and represented well. Good job 👏 👍🏾 👌

Turned my nightmare mess of a garden into a dream garden! I can’t stop looking at it!

google

Had a maintenance clean for my artificial lawn. The guys were very thorough, patient and professional. They didn’t complain or rush the job even though the work took longer than anticipated as I hadn’t had a maintenance service for a long while. I will use SayGrass annually going forward.

At a little loss for words, spoke with a lovely person call Neeru. The initial conversation was positive, great phone etiquette. Was given an immediate price point as a reference. Upon searching around, they were the cheaper deal by at least 1k! I needed a quick turnaround too, Neeru was able to organise and get everything sorted within a week! Honestly shocked at the incredible speed of service, the people who came to complete the job were cordial, laid floor covers down to protect my floors and even swept up after they were done. Some things are expected, but this whole process has shown me that there are just some bits of class and customer service you can’t put a price on. Will be using them for every bit of Garden work from here on out!

Overall, it was a great experience with top service and installation.
