The Beauty of Low Maintenance
One of the biggest benefits of artificial turf is minimal maintenance. But "low maintenance" doesn't mean "no maintenance." Here are 5 essential tips to keep your turf looking its best.
Tip 1: Regular Brushing
Use a stiff-bristled broom or power brush to:
- Keep fibers standing upright
- Distribute infill evenly
- Remove light debris
Frequency: Monthly, or as needed in high-traffic areas.
Tip 2: Rinse Occasionally
A simple rinse with your garden hose:
- Removes dust and pollen
- Freshens the surface
- Helps with pet areas
Frequency: Weekly for pet areas, monthly otherwise.
Tip 3: Remove Debris Promptly
- Pick up leaves and organic matter
- Organic debris can affect drainage
- Use a leaf blower for large areas
Frequency: Weekly during fall, as needed otherwise.
Tip 4: Address Stains Quickly
For most stains:
- Blot (don't rub) excess liquid
- Rinse with mild soap and water
- Use enzyme cleaners for pet accidents
Tip 5: Annual Infill Check
Check your infill levels annually:
- Top up ZeoFill or silica sand as needed
- Helps maintain proper drainage
- Keeps blades standing upright
What NOT to Do
- Never use harsh chemicals
- Avoid open flames near turf
- Don't place hot items on the surface
- Skip the metal rakes
Conclusion
With just a few minutes of care each month, your artificial turf will look great for 15+ years. That's the Turf World difference!
