The Difference a Strong Scrubbing Broom and a Little Bit of Extra Infill Make
Posted by Mofazri at 10:30 AM
Once you have it at home, committing to giving adequate cleaning and maintenance to your artificial turf is worth every bit of effort. Regular upkeep of synthetic grass is minimal when compared with that required by natural grass, but that doesn’t mean it’s trivial. To sustain your new lawn’s good appearance, and to keep it usable for many years to come, clean it about once a month. When the time for brightening and sprucing up arrives, take the opportunity to remove all rubbish and any accumulations of loose materials from the lawn. Some debris usually accumulates as a result of natural vegetable and animal matter that’s present in the environment.
Another thing to do is to brush the synthetic turf fibers with a good rake. Passing a rake through the grass will restore its vitality and keep it looking impeccably manicured. Every now and then it’s also good to wash the entire lawn surface down. When you’re out doing the necessary upkeep, it’s essential to select your cleaning and grooming tools carefully. For example, harsh solvents should be avoided — this means alcohol- and acetone-containing cleaners are out as they can harm your beautiful fake lawn grass.
A good rule of thumb when cleaning is to carefully go over the areas of the lawn that endure the heaviest foot traffic or, more generally, just see the most activity. It also helps to retain a good bit of extra infill around; after the lawn goes through its settling period, it’s very common to find small areas with depleted infill. This is perfectly normal. To replenish the area’s infill, simply add the extra rubber/sand in thin layers and brush over it with a scrubbing broom. As you go over it, run the broom in multiple directions. Keeping these simple things in mind will keep your lawn going wonderfully strong.
