The lawn requires very little maintenance to always look perfect. In this article we give you several tips on how to perform this maintenance and how to clean the artificial turf on terrace.

Maintenance of artificial turf or grass

One of the great advantages of artificial turf is that it requires very little maintenance to keep it in perfect condition.

Unlike natural grass, artificial turf does not require constant watering, mowing or fertilizing. Maintenance tasks are reduced to very little care.

Cleaning of artificial turf in any installation

If you have installed synthetic grass on your terrace or somewhere in your home (garden, balcony, porch, attic…) it is very easy to take care of.

Act as soon as possible on stains

The first advice we give you is that in case of staining. The important thing is to act as soon as possible.

To clean these stains from artificial turf, the most practical way is to use a hose or a watering can and pour plenty of water on the stain. If the installation has been done correctly, the water will drain and there will be no puddles.

The next step is to spray the stained area with a spray bottle. The spray bottle should be filled with a mixture of water and neutral soap.

Once the stained area of the artificial turf has been sprayed, rinse again with plenty of water and you will see how it will be clean again without any trace of stains.

Vacuums or removes leaf debris and dirt

In autumn, many trees and shrubs lose their leaves. It is normal at this time of the year that your garden dawns full of dry leaves.

The best way to clean e of leaves and plant debris is to use a blower or vacuum cleaner to facilitate and make the removal of these leaves more productive. If you use the vacuum cleaner you should do it gently so that you do not remove the silica sand that is spread to ensure its durability, freshness, safety and good drainage.

Protect your lawn before mowing

In case you have to prune the trees and artificial grass garden plants, our advice is to cover the surface with a tarpaulin. This way the pruning debris remains on the tarp and is quicker to remove.

Brush your artificial grass to restore its verticality

When you notice that your artificial turf loses some of its straightness either by traffic or by pruning debris, the best way to restore its verticality is to brush it.

For brushing synthetic grass it is best to use a broom or a stiff plastic brush. Do not use a metal one because this material can damage the entire surface.

With back brushing, the grass regains its verticality. Recovering its fresh and natural look.
