When you consider the main differences between synthetic law and a real lawn, the one that usually stands out is that artificial requires much less maintenance. However, this should not be interpreted as a lawn that does not require any maintenance at all, as they need some TLC to ensure that they retain their appearance and have a much longer service life.
One of the most important things you need to do is to ensure that your artificial turf stays clean. How often this needs to be done will depend on a number of different factors, including the abundance of trees and shrubs, domestic animals and children in the open air. If you live in a dusty area, you will again have to spend a little more time on keeping your artificial turf in excellent condition. Regardless of the factors that you may face individually, we strongly recommend that you take the following steps to protect your investment.
Weekly maintenance
This may be something that you would like to avoid, but we would recommend every week to give your lawn a light rinse to keep the fibers free from dust and any other debris that might arise.
Monthly maintenance
Carrying out a more thorough cleaning on a monthly basis will help keep your artificial turf clean, green and attractive. We would suggest using a stiff brush or brush and possibly a flexible lawn lawn. Avoid steel bristles, as this will damage the surface.
You may have to connect more often if there are trees near you that will earlier throw leaves or you have pets.
Regular care also prevails matting and keeps your lawn from compaction.
Spill Management
Almost all modern artificial turf is stain resistant and everything that is discarded can simply be washed off with water. If you are worried about bacteria, we suggest that you use half of half the mixture of water and vinegar that you can wash off after a mild natural soap — avoid strong chemical detergents, as they can damage your surface again.
As with carpet spills, responding quickly is the key to effectively removing any spills. Chewing gum can be a major problem, but it is easier to remove if it is cooled, so consider using ice cubes for this.
Spots and burns
Burns and blemishes can be repaired, but prevention is much better than cure. We recommend that you encourage smokers to avoid smoking on the lawn, also do not repair vehicles on peat or, as we said about the early use of strong chemicals. Oil is one of the few substances that can stain your artificial grass, so always keep this in mind when using.
Finally
Regularly taking care of your turf will mean that it will retain its fantastic look for many years. Doing simple tasks on a regular basis will save you from having to do more radical work in the future.
We strongly recommend that you use the services of a professional company specializing in artificial lawns to conduct a two-year inspection on your peat so that it looks in perfect condition. Any repairs should also be done by professionals.
